    The lie of the ‘family friendly’ workplace

    07/06/2026 | 36 mins.
    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)

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

    31/05/2026 | 25 mins.
    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.

    Amy Poehler and the enneagram test

    24/05/2026 | 37 mins.
    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?
