Elizabeth Day, a successful author and podcaster, is known for her engaging discussions about failure. She recently hosted a lunch in London, showcasing her clothing line and gathering prominent women in fashion. Day’s podcast, "How To Fail," has gained nearly 50 million downloads and has led to a bestselling book that explores the lessons learned from setbacks. At 46 years old, Day shares her personal journey, which includes a challenging fertility experience and a divorce. She launched her podcast in 2018, after feeling a sense of “internal failure” following the end of her marriage. The podcast features conversations with celebrities about their struggles and failures, helping both herself and her audience find comfort in shared experiences. Despite her success, Day admits to ongoing feelings of inadequacy. She battles insecurities and a competitive nature, even as she feels fortunate in her professional life. Through her work, she aims to help others feel less lost and more connected. Day reflects on her childhood in Northern Ireland, where she felt like an outsider. This perspective shaped her storytelling abilities. She has openly discussed her fertility challenges, including miscarriages and unsuccessful IVF treatments. After a failed egg donation, she sought guidance from a psychic, which provided her with new clarity and peace concerning her desire for children. In addition to her podcast, Day is expanding her production company, focusing on diverse voices. She is also set to tour with a live podcast and has plans for a sequel to her previous novel. Day aims to leave a legacy through her work, helping others navigate their challenges in life.
