How do I work when I’m sleep deprived?

"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?

Amy Poehler and the enneagram test

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. So, how well do we know ourselves? Got a question? Submit it here!  [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvRGMyKUqLpCtebfbYgc3sDSuVDBiKteZvDMu3nBddhzdJ6A/viewform] — Thanks for listening!

Sharina Simnett on doing work and motherhood her way

Sharina Simnett has been one of the biggest supporters of Ready or Not. Loz and I have shared many a conversation with her in our DMs, she’s always the first to leave a comment on Substack, she often checked in at the time that she was looking for work that actually worked alongside motherhood, and, once she landed her dream role at Yoto, she brought us our most meaningful partnership to date, too.  So when Yoto wanted to work with Ready or Not again, it became immediately obvious to Loz and I to get Sharina on to share her story with burnout, motherhood, how she judged mums in the workplace before she became one, and what’s surprised her as someone who was career-obsessed before kids.  Here, we cover how much her relationship with ambition has changed, the anxiety that came with a severe period of burnout, how she defines success now, the hack that means work life doesn’t bleed too much into parenting life, and what she’d go back and tell her pre-motherhood self about the journey she has embarked on.
