Ever heard of a daycare desert? It's an area where the number of available spots at the local childcare centre are few and far between. 

A new Productivity Commission report has found that quite a few Aussies are being left in the lurch when it comes to secure a spot for their tiny human. 

Today we find out what parents are going through for daycare and why the commission doesn’t think it impacts our return to work choices at all.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from Mamamia's But Are You Happy? podcast, it’s that things aren’t meant to be perfect. But try telling that to a perfectionist.

Zoë Foster Blake, a self-described perfectionist, doesn’t always see it as a positive trait. In her conversation with Clare Stephens, she shares what she’s learned about embracing failure, recognising when she needs space to recharge, and the interviews and events she chooses not to do.

Is Zoë Foster Blake happy? You’ll have to listen to find out.
