Ready or Not

DEAR READY OR NOT: What should you be doing in your final weeks of mat leave to set  up for the return to work? How to stop the envy creeping in when your friends work fewer days than you but somehow still have the house and the holidays. And how to keep your cool when you're stuck managing up.

Welcome back to Ready or Not, the show for mums navigating paid work and unpaid work. On today’s show:

• Pay me like a cop: A deep dive into the maths of who we actually value. 
• Unpacking our very unofficial state of working motherhood report. We took to Instagram to find out how everyone is feeling, find out where everyone is at in the motherhood and work journey, and to ask some of the questions that are keeping working mums up at night.

DEAR READY OR NOT: The mum-guilt of choosing to work full-time when you don't  have to. A co-worker has been bitching about you behind your back while you're on mat leave, do you confront her when you return or let it play out? And more life hacks, because you asked and we can never say no.

Welcome back to the show for working mums! AKA all mums because all mum’s work. On today’s show:

• Bullshit jobs: Is there work we do every day that secretly feels completely unnecessary?
• The childcare subsidy is one size fits all. So where does that leave the parents and families that the model doesn’t work for?

DEAR READY OR NOT: How do you tell your boss you're pregnant again after only just returning from maternity leave? Will stepping back from your career while your kids are little hurt you long term? And parental preference: when your kids only want mum and it's starting to create tension at home.

Because Ready or Not is all about figuring out how to make work, work as a mum, here, you’ll hear a side of Antoinette Lattouf you probably haven’t heard before, because for so long, we’ve wondered: how did Antoinette mother through the hardest time of her life? How do you rebuild your career and yourself after an unfair and extremely public sacking? How do you find the power to fight for yourself and others when parenting already asks so much of us?

Here, the woman that won answers these questions and so much more, while also reflecting on the important lessons her daughters teach her and why nothing gives her more purpose than the joyful choir of children.

Welcome back to the show on all things motherhood and career! On today’s show:

• Parental leave is moving backwards - the new trend of clawing back parental leave has started and we’re digging into the why, the how and the what next.
• The motherhood penalty isn’t empowering: Let’s stop reframing systematic gender inequality as a feel-good personal growth story. This is a piece we came across from The Purse, and we had to talk about it. (Read the piece here)

DEAR READY OR NOT: What to do when your direct report earns nearly the same as you? How to get back in the game after being made redundant on maternity leave. And should you take a leap into your dream industry when you're also trying for a second baby?

Welcome back! Coming up on today’s show: 

• The little hacks making all the difference: Loz asked you what you do to make your weeks run a bit smoother and this is what you told us. 
• And then, “I don’t know how you do it all… I don’t”: There was a reel that caught our attention on Instagram, and it had us wondering what we expected being a working mum would look like versus what it’s actually like.
