This International Women’s Day we have the wonderful Stella Duffy as a guest. Stella is an acclaimed author and playwright, with 17 novels to her name. She's also a yoga teacher, breast cancer survivor, trainee existential pyschotherapist and an OBE recipient.

In this chat Stella, who had dreamt of having children, shares her journey of deep self- acceptance and the power she now feels embracing the life she has. As a queer older woman, she speaks of how a pro-natal and heteronormative world view, can isolate those who are different instead of valuing diversity. Stella shares the need to debunk the idea that fertility is a woman’s greatest gift and to create a space to celebrate post-menopausal women. An approach Stella has seen other cultures embrace. It’s a powerful and joyful chat, that moved me to my core and I’m sure it will you as well.

Her novel, Lullaby Beach is now available on paperback. https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/stella-duffy/lullaby-beach/9781405549653/
