Conversations from #LIFI25: Joeli Brearley

Interview
September 18, 2025

In our latest #LIFI25 speaker series interview, we sit down with Joeli Brearley, founder of Pregnant Then Screwed and a leading voice for working mothers’ rights in the UK.

Joeli joins the “Can Mums have it all?” panel at this year’s festival, where she’ll bring her expertise, campaigning experience, and personal insight to a conversation about the realities of motherhood, work, and equality.

In this interview, Joeli explores the barriers mothers face, the changes still needed to support parents, and why this debate is so important right now. It’s an inspiring preview of the energy and honesty she’ll bring to the festival stage in September.

More conversations with #LIFI25 speakers will be released soon — stay tuned.
