Antoinette Lattouf on parenting through the hardest chapter of her life

Because Ready or Not is all about figuring out how to make work, work as a mum, here, you’ll hear a side of Antoinette Lattouf you probably haven’t heard before, because for so long, we’ve wondered: how did Antoinette mother through the hardest time of her life? How do you rebuild your career and yourself after an unfair and extremely public sacking? How do you find the power to fight for yourself and others when parenting already asks so much of us? Here, the woman that won answers these questions and so much more, while also reflecting on the important lessons her daughters teach her and why nothing gives her more purpose than the joyful choir of children.  — Got a question?

The lie of the ‘family friendly’ workplace

Welcome back to the show on all things motherhood and career! On today’s show: * Parental leave is moving backwards - the new trend of clawing back parental leave has started and we’re digging into the why, the how and the what next. * The motherhood penalty isn’t empowering: Let’s stop reframing systematic gender inequality as a feel-good personal growth story. This is a piece we came across from The Purse, and we had to talk about it. (Read the piece here [https://www.thepurse.co/motherhood-penalty-isnt-empowering/]) Got a question?

"I don’t know how you do it all” (I don’t)

Welcome back! Coming up on today’s show:  * The little hacks making all the difference: Loz asked you what you do to make your weeks run a bit smoother and this is what you told us.  * And then, “I don’t know how you do it all… I don’t”: There was a reel that caught our attention on Instagram, and it had us wondering what we expected being a working mum would look like versus what it’s actually like.  Got a question?
