Elizabeth Day - "I can be at peace living alongside the sadness"
Description
Presented in association with Mater Private Network.
Kathryn Thomas sits down with her hero - writer, broadcaster, and host of How to Fail podcast Elizabeth Day, whose honesty and intelligence have made her one of the most compelling voices out there. Elizabeth opens up about the extraordinary ethos behind the How to Fail podcast, sharing how she persuaded guests like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Kate Winslet, and Monica Lewinsky to offer some of the most powerful conversations of her career. Kathryn learns what those moments taught Elizabeth and why failure has become such a transformative lens for so many of her listeners.
In a deeply personal and moving conversation, Elizabeth reflects on her long and painful road through unexplained infertility, miscarriages, and IVF struggles. She talks candidly about coming to terms with not having a child of her own, and why open conversations around fertility and women’s health matter more than ever. Plus, how a conversation with a physic changed Elizabeth’s life in more ways than one. From navigating life as a stepmother to embracing regrets without letting them define you, this is an episode filled with wisdom, vulnerability, and the kind of honesty that stays with you.
New episodes of Are We There Yet? with Kathryn Thomas are released every Tuesday morning on Onic Player, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and you can watch this conversation on YouTube. Next week: writer extraordinaire - Cecelia Ahern!
