Jody Day is a renowned author and the founder of Gateway Women, a significant network dedicated to childless women. In 2013, she was honored by being named one of BBC's 100 Women. With a background in English literature and experience as a former psychotherapist, Jody Day took a transformative step in 2009 at the age of 44 when she acknowledged that motherhood was not in her future. This led her to establish Gateway Women, a support network for childless women aged 35 and older, and she subsequently launched the Gateway Women blog in 2011.

Her influential books, Living the Life Unexpected and Rocking the Life Unexpected, provide guidance and support for individuals navigating the grief of being unable to become parents. In addition to her literary and activist work, Jody Day is the director of an interior design company.
