Creation Myth - Boston Podcast Brunch Club

The podcast is called Personally and the season we are listening to is Creation Myth. Find the podcast here. Creation Myth is a critically acclaimed narrative audio memoir and a season of the CBC podcast series Personally. Hosted by Helena de Groot, it documents her raw, deeply honest, and internal journey through her 40s as she grapples with the universally complex decision of whether or not to have children. [1, 2] The podcast explores her thought process in granular detail, tracing her life from being resolutely child-free, through the breakdown of her marriage over the issue, to the creeping doubt that sets in as she considers permanent sterilization. Across its episodes, she seeks answers by interviewing friends, a poet, her mother, and even strangers who voice both deep regret and pure joy about being parents.
