Creation Myth - Boston Podcast Brunch Club

About this event

The podcast is called Personally and the season we are listening to is Creation Myth. Find the podcast [here](https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/1340-run-hide-repeat/episode/16193081-introducing-creation-myth). *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.

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.
