'I asked my Instagram followers to be my surrogate' with Lisa Messenger

Hello! Today’s guest, Lisa Messenger, has a daughter on the way - but another woman is giving birth to her. In this conversation, Lisa opens up about her tumultuous fertility journey and how everything changed when her friend Sarah offered to carry her first baby for her. Now Lisa is expecting her second child via surrogacy – this time, her surrogate is a stranger. In Australia, surrogacy must be altruistic, which is why when Lisa posted on her Instagram story asking if anyone would carry her baby for her, she was surprised when a stranger said yes. Lisa also talks about being a new parent in her 50s, and the complex process of surrogacy in Australia. If you’d like to support Lisa, you can follow her on Instagram @lisamessenger.

Ellidy Pullin: 'I want another baby'

Hello! This Thursday we’re bringing you a very special bonus episode, where Ruby sits down with Australian podcaster and influencer, Ellidy Pullin. Ellidy is no stranger to grief; in 2020, she tragically lost her partner, Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin, in a free-diving accident. After his death, Ellidy accepted that she’d probably ‘be alone forever’, but 6 years later, she’s just announced her engagement to her long-term boyfriend, Brock Wadsworth. In this conversation, Ellidy shares her initial fears about opening up her heart to love again after the pain of losing someone you love and the unimaginable grief that comes with it. She speaks about how the two can co-exist, and that she’s giving herself permission to move forward while honouring Chumpy’s memory, in her words: ‘Your heart can grow, and grow, and grow’. Ellidy also tells Ruby about the moment Brock proposed to her mid-flight, how she feels about having a second baby, and the beautiful relics and memories of Chumpy’s she’s already passing down to her daughter Minnie. If you’d like to support Ellidy, you can follow her on Instagram @ellidy_. Your host today was Ruby Hall (⁠⁠@rubytuesday2.0⁠⁠), and the guest was Ellidy Pullin (@ellidy_⁠).

I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is one of my favorite formats! Ruby is an amazing host and is able to hold space for the guests to talk about lots of hard topics. I want to steal this format and interview my friends and family this way to get to know them better and to hold some family memories.
Shameless Media has done it again!
