Summary

Elizabeth Banks joins Call Her Daddy to share some wine, wisdom and laughs. She reminisces on meeting her husband on the very first night of college and how she knew he was the one - even though they were only eighteen. Elizabeth and Alex discuss and normalize not always knowing exactly what you want in life -- and give advice to those feeling confused after graduating college. Elizabeth opens up about her path to motherhood and the decision to use a surrogate. She talks about the feelings of shame and grief she experienced after discovering she could not get pregnant. The duo break down other topics, including women having autonomy over their bodies, power imbalances in the workplace and the privilege of using your voice for change.
