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.
