Beyond Expectations
ELLE Australia wants to bring to the fore the questions that so many women have about their fertility, and what it means for their futures. Whether it's how to have a baby solo, what to do when faced with infertility, or how to know if you even want kids in the first place, there's a myriad of crossroads and choices that all women inevitably face. Beyond Expectations is hosted by Ali Izzo, who is ELLE’s Head of Digital and also a mum of two—so she’s been there! Dropping weekly, these candid conversations with some of Australia’s most inspiring women bring light, lived-experience and hopefully humour to the many ways in which women navigate their fertility. Often, with unexpected results. This podcast is proudly brought to you by Elevit, who have exclusively partnered with ELLE Australia on the launch of Beyond Expectations. Elevit is the world’s most studied prenatal multivitamin brand, and has been helping babies come into the world for over 20 years.You can explore* Elevit’s range of prenatal supplements here.

Listing Sarah Rose’s accolades is enough to make anyone feel a little sheepish about their own output into the world, but the Sydney-based disability advocate isn’t here to cover herself in glory. Sarah was born with the most common type of dwarfism, achondroplasia, but her disability has never held her back. Be it competing (three times) in the Paralympic Games, and winning a bronze medal in swimming, becoming a mum (t...
Jesinta Franklin has found a new kind of happiness in the post-baby era of motherhood. The Gold Coast-based mum-of-two has always been open about how challenging she found that newborn stage (also, during Covid!), but here Jesinta also shares the lesser-talked-about positive bits about being a mum. While maintaining her entrepreneur and modelling careers, Jesinta opens up about how her approach to motherhood has changed as her kids...
Maz Coote is the founder/owner of successful beauty and lifestyle PR firm, Coote Agency, but it was her less-than-ideal experience with her own fertility that inspired her to co-found a new at-home hormone testing company, called When. Not many women start a bio-medical testing company after doing egg freezing, but Maz is anything but average. Here, she shares what she learnt along the way, and why falling pregnant naturally was, s...
Egg freezing is becoming more popular, and with good reason. Women are delaying starting a family, and the process of egg freezing can seem like a really smart insurance plan for your future fertility. But what does it actually involve? How do you prepare for it? And how does it help your chances of falling pregnant ‘naturally’?
Sydney-based brand consultant, podcaster, and Substack author Kate Lancaster shares th...
We speak to nutritionist, dietitian, body image advocate and author Lyndi Cohen about how to mentally embrace the many (!) and often weird (!!) changes your body undertakes during pregnancy - and also the very real need to properly fuel it. Being a mum of two herself, Lyndi tells it how it is, and isn’t afraid to make fun of herself in the process.

Getting yourself, and your partner's bodies ready to conceive has turned into a full-time job for some couples. Registered clinical nutritionist and mum of three - including 6-year old twins, Monique Cormack is all about telling it straight. She runs a telehealth nutrition clinic, based in Sydney and is refreshingly open about her own struggles on social media - as well as the confusion that can surround preconception, prenatal and...
Ellidy Pullin famously (or perhaps, infamously) had a baby using her deceased partner (pro surfer 'Chumpy')'s sperm and has gone on to inspire a league of women to solo parent, while paying tribute to his memory. She's now a celebrated podcaster and author, and she shares with us how she made that fateful decision in the grips of the deepest grief, and the bittersweet joy that her little ‘Minnie’ brings her now.
It's the question that plagues so many millennial and Gen Z women, whether or not they should - or even could - have babies. Charli XCX said the quiet bit out loud on her ‘Brat’ album, admitting “I think about it all the time”.
Laura Henshaw, co-founder of the KIC app, and co-host of the KIC Pod podcast, speaks to host Ali Izzo about this big life choice, and shares how she navigated the deci...
