Elizabeth Day: How I Found Peace With Never Becoming a Mum

TW: This episode contains discussion of assault

Elizabeth Day is the person who first introduced me to podcasts, and if it weren’t for her this podcast probably wouldn’t exist, so it was an absolute dream to invite her round to mine for a chat!

In this conversation, we discuss the sexist double standards that make Elizabeth mad, and I was thrilled to discover that beneath Elizabeth’s effortlessly put-together exterior is a person who indulges in road rage and isn't against having a cry on the tube. She also tells a never before heard story about the final piece of the puzzle that helped her accept not become a mother and how that, in turn, allowed her to find new ways to nurture and create in her life.

Elizabeth also shares some hilarious dating stories, which you can hear more of in her new podcast How to Date, where she shares more of her trademark big-sister wisdom and dating advice! Elizabeth is so generous and thoughtful, spending time with her was an absolute treat.
