Hi!!

Welcome to our new three-part series, Love Stories.

Every Thursday for the next three weeks, I’ll sit down with a guest who tells me about their love story.

Today, I sit down with Phoebe Simmonds, co-founder of The Memo, to share her personal love story with husband Shaun Caton.

In her mid-30s, single and career-focused, Phoebe was dating with intention when she met Shaun. Shaun was navigating life after the devastating loss of his former partner, Sam, and Phoebe stepped into their world with patience and care, embracing co-parenting Shaun’s young son, Tyler. With a strong desire to have children of her own, Phoebe and Shaun went on to grow their blended family, welcoming their son Remy.

Phoebe’s journey to motherhood might not have been what she expected, but it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences yet, and she’s been so grateful to have Shaun, who is no stranger to parenting, right by her side.
