EPISODE 5 – SEPTEMBER 19, 2022
Jody Day is the founder of Gateway Women, the global support and advocacy network for childless women, and the author of what many professionals consider to be the ‘go-to’ book on the topic, Living the Life Unexpected: How to Find Hope, Meaning and a Fulfilling Future Without Children. Chosen as one of the BBC’s 100 Women in 2013 and as a UK Digital Woman of the Year in 2021, she’s a global thought leader on female involuntary childlessness, a psychotherapist, a two-times TEDx speaker, a founding and former board member at Ageing Without Children and a former Fellow in Social Innovation at Cambridge Judge Business School. Often referred to as the founder of the ‘childless movement’, she’s also an Ambassador for World Childless Week and an Advisor at the New Legacy Institute, an interdisciplinary think-tank dedicated to institutional and social equity for non-parents. A long-time Londoner, she now lives in rural Ireland where she’s working on a new book and nurturing her emerging Gateway Elderwomen project for ‘conscious childless elderwomen’. www.gateway-women.com
