DEAR READY OR NOT: Is there ever a good time to change jobs when you’re trying to build a family? Why does your partner’s “big week at work” automatically become your big week too? And is doing life admin on company time fair game?

The Cornell 7 (or 57) case has made headlines around the world and, rightly, sparked a huge amount of outrage and conversation about consent, sexual violence and male behaviour. But Loz came across one reel about the case that raised a different argument she hadn't really considered before, and she wants to play it before we get into it.

DEAR READY OR NOT: What do you do when your mat leave cover takes your job? Is double the salary worth working five days? And what do you do when your three-day job doesn’t fit into three days?

As I listen back to the incredibly funny and clever and cool and curious artist and mother, Atong Atem, whose worked with the likes of Tate Modern in London and the NGV more locally here in Melbourne, the first question I ask in this interview is challenging me a little. You'll have to listen to find out why.

From motherhood to friendship to womanhood to racism to career to making work, work alongside parenting - this is a conversation about life more than anything, and I’m better for having it. I think you will be too. So let’s hear it.

DEAR READY OR NOT: How do you announce another pregnancy when your boss has already judged you for it? What can employers ask you about having kids in a job interview? And what do you do when you earn more than your husband but still do more at home?

Welcome back! Tough titties: Loz has been thinking a lot about the parenting phrases we all grew up with. So, which ones would we take, and which ones should we toss?

DEAR READY OR NOT: How do you stop resenting your partner after having a baby? How do you tell a brand-new employer you’re pregnant? And should you stay in a job you hate for the parental leave benefits?
