Welcome back to Witching Hour: the show that looks at what's exciting, delighting, intriguing, and frustrating us as we make work, work alongside parenting. It's Ready or Not's loose little sister coming to your ears every Monday.

In today's episode, we cover:

• Perfectionism helps women stand out at work. But over-preparedness can deny them leadership positions (from Fortune)
• Mum’s the word: The joy and importance of holidays without kids (from SMH)
• Baby Posie is here! And we can't wait to share more of Lucinda's second postpartum experience next month in lieu of some Ready or Not interviews (Witching Hour will play on as usual).
• And part one of Lucinda's bizarre labour story.
