The lie of the ‘family friendly’ workplace

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?

Welcome back! Coming up on today’s show:  * The second shift: both of us have two kids in one room and we’ve asked you, the listeners, for advice on bedtime routines, wind-down techniques and general sleep hacks.  * Amy Poehler’s obsession with enneagram led us to do our own personality tests.
