Jody Day - Ireland

Jody Day is the founder of Gateway Women and the author of what many professionals consider to be the 'go-to' book on healing from childlessness, ‘Living the Life Unexpected: How to Find Hope, Meaning and a Fulfilling Future Without Children’ (Bluebird/PanMac). Chosen as one of the BBC’s 100 Women in 2013 & awarded UK Digital Woman of the Year (2nd place) in 2021, she’s a global thought leader on female involuntary childlessness, a psychotherapist, a 2017 and 2022 TEDx speaker (with another one coming soon), 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 ‘voice of the childless generation’, she moved a few years ago to rural Ireland, where she’s building a house by the sea, finishing her novel (featuring a childless heroine of course!) and nurturing the emerging Gateway Elderwomen project. www.gateway-women.com
