Why is the childcare subsidy still one size fits all?

Welcome back to the show for working mums! AKA all mums because all mum’s work. On today’s show: * Bullshit jobs: Is there work we do every day that secretly feels completely unnecessary? * The childcare subsidy is one size fits all. So where does that leave the parents and families that the model doesn’t work for?  — Got a question?

How do you tell work you're already pregnant again?

DEAR READY OR NOT: How do you tell your boss you're pregnant again after only just returning from maternity leave? Will stepping back from your career while your kids are little hurt you long term? And parental preference: when your kids only want mum and it's starting to create tension at home. — Got a question?

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?
