Welcome back to Witching Hour – the show where two mums and sort of cousins figure out how to make work, work. Today on the show:

• Why mums hide their ambition: are we still expected to apologise for loving our jobs, or has ambition become the new taboo for mothers?
• The trad wife trend:  why a growing corner of social media is telling women to ditch their friends and find everything they need at home.

—

In this episode, we cover: ambition and motherhood, guilt and identity in working mums, feminist relationships, the value of female friendship, the mental load, loneliness and community, and the ongoing battle between caring and carrying.
