Leah Ruppanner is the kind of person every single working mother wants to speak to, because she knows all about how your life feels, and how to fix it.

She's debunking outdated gender stereotypes, like women are happier as 'homemakers' and men are bumbling caregivers, often stitching viral tiktok videos to explain, in layman's terms, what the underlying social issue really is.

She's about to publish a book about the mental load and how we better share it, and her podcast MissPerceived is in the top 200 in the US and top 25 in Australia for the sciences.

A research professor at the University of Melbourne, Leah was Australia's Top Gender Scholar in 2022 and 2023, is Director of The Future of Work Lab & The Gender Equity Initiative, and she's been cited on google scholar over 5000 times.
