Welcome back to Witching Hour: the show that looks at what's exciting, delighting, intriguing, and frustrating us as we make work, work alongside parenting. It's Ready or Not's loose little sister coming to your ears every Monday.

In today's episode, we cover:

• Beers and Braids is the best thing we've ever heard of.
• What does sport have to do with career success for women?
• “As a mother”: the worst three words in the English language by Bibi Lynch for The Independent.
• I’m in My 40s, Child-Free and Happy. Why Won’t Anyone Believe Me? By Glynnis MacNicol for the New York Times
• And your answers to our questions about friendships between parent and non-parent friends (and why, as Nell Frizzell puts it, a woman in her thirties is painfully defined as either a mother or non-mother).
• Plus, so much more (beers and braids, anyone).
