Elizabeth Day: How struggling to conceive made her reimagine motherhood

🌸Welcome back to season two of Lessons From Our Mother. In this episode Cressida and Isabella are joined by acclaimed novelist, journalist, and broadcaster Elizabeth Day.

🌸Elizabeth shares how her mother inspired her love of books, reading, and writing, and opens up about her own journey with motherhood. She talks candidly about reaching acceptance that she would not be a biological mother - and how she’s discovered many different, meaningful ways to mother in the world.

🌸Join Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson as they explore how maternal figures have shaped the lives of their guests. Each episode delves into the valuable lessons they’ve carried forward, those they’ve left behind, and the profound impact their maternal figures have had throughout their lives. 

💬 Plus, hear from Ed Taylor who shares some of the most valuable lessons he’s taken from his mum!
