Former footballer Richie Sadlier is now better known for his career as a psychotherapist and working with young people in the area of sex education and wellbeing. Knowing what he knows about young people's lives, Andrew Tate and the manosphere, he's well equipped to deal with the thorny issues that many other parents actively avoid discussing. But he admits he might be the last person his young children will want to talk to by the time the teen years roll around. Richie and his wife, Fiona, have had a long and arduous road to parenthood. After eight heart-breaking rounds of IVF followed by a miscarriage, they're now mum and dad to Sam and Molly. In his first appearance on a parenting podcast since their joyous arrival, Richie shares the insights and observations he's made so far about the fatherhood journey so far. And just like he learned to do while in recovery from addiction, he advises anyone couple going through IVF to just take everything one day at a time.
