We recorded with Laura a month or so ago; her world was a bit different then. Her professional cricket player husband was home, there was little chance of a midweek wine, and she could go about Auckland as she pleased without any Covid restrictions. Today, she was recording her radio show within the confines of her home, her parents were in her level 3 bubble to help ease the lockdown lows (and juggle the working-mum life with a nearly 4 year old and 7 month old), and hubby Martin Guptill was away in Dubai (which should actually have been Pakistan) with NZ cricket. What a privilege to chat to Laura (or Lazzy Lou as we quickly allowed ourselves to jump to nickname status); about all things working in the media, being the wife of a professional cricketer, working mum of two, and everything in between, such as ironing pillow cases, the filet-o-fish and weekly Friday night parties at her 93 year old grandmothers' (thanks for the invite, Laz). We feel we only just scratched the surface and could honestly have chatted for at least another hour. Thanks so much Laura Louise McGoldrick-Guptill! We hope you enjoy our chat. (For anyone who may find it triggering: in this episode we briefly discuss having multiple children/having a sibling for our babies).
