Last season we unpacked the process of sending your kid to daycare & all the fun that comes with it (the bugs, mainly the bugs) so today we're discussing the logistics of going back to work.

You already know our personal back to work stories, Kee went back after a year & then threw in the towel to freelance and Kel just took no time off at all. So today we're chatting to two glorious Sh*tters (Sandy & Lily) who have had very different experiences entering back into the workforce.

Sandy is a mum to 3 young kids, who not only juggles her own nursing career, but also supports her husband who's currently studying to become a surgeon.

Lily is a mum of one, with another on the way, whose identity completely changed after becoming a first time mum. This led to a return-to-work at four months postpartum, a career change and another (career) baby; Launch Mama, a program dedicated to helping mums navigate their transition back into the workforce.
