Women make on average 15% less than men across countries.

As I was pregnant with my second baby and ahead of my mat leave, Allison Venditti and I got to talk on the Belonging Project Podcast.

Allison is the founder of Moms at Work, a Canada-based organisation providing
community, resources and advocacy for working mothers.

In this podcast episode, we talk about:

- the Motherhood Penalty

- the impact of the pandemic on working mums

- what can help prevent gender discrimination in the workplace: universal daycare, pay transparency, actively promoting & supporting men taking parental leave.

I also loved learning about Allison's own journey and how her organisation grew from a Facebook Group to meeting with the Canadian PM and passing legislation.

What a great conversation!!! If you're a working mother, father, or if you have a working mom in your organisation, I urge you to listen to this episode.
