No one ever told me I wouldn’t miss the mental stimulation of work.

Welcome to No one ever told me, a podcast that interrogates the role of motherhood, career culture and societal norms through a series of essays.

It’s an interrogation of the things no one ever told us about motherhood, societal norms and our current culture.
