Show Notes

Barry Du Bois is a much-loved television presenter, author and dad to twins Arabella and Bennett.

In this episode, Barry opens up about his extraordinary journey to fatherhood after years of IVF, adoption and surrogacy attempts, and how finally becoming a dad changed everything.

We also talk about parenting while living with incurable cancer, navigating uncertainty, teaching his children resilience, and what he hopes to leave them that has nothing to do with money or success.
