2024/08/13

I've been having a lot of those days where you feel absolutely in the thick of it. I have a seven month old and a two and a half year old. Posie, the seven month old, isn't really sleeping. And I've often felt like pulling my hair out, like I'm going a little bit crazy. And then today I listened to my conversation with best friends and creatives, Annika Hanne and Bobby Clark. Something lit up inside of me. I was reminded of something important, something that I'd almost forgotten. And that is that

Peleina Guthrie on what mothers hide when they return...

Ready or Not ·

2024/08/06

As a mother of three, Peleina Guthrie has had her fair share of return to paid work experiences, and each one has taken a slightly different turn. On her first rodeo, she went back to work earlier than she'd planned after landing a new job opportunity that she couldn't refuse. Six months into settling into that new workplace, she was pregnant with baby two and she was terrified. And, the third time around, at about five months into the return to work, she experienced burn out, resigned and found a

You know those people that you look at and think if I had my time again, I would’ve liked my career to look a little more like theirs? For me, that person is Jessie Stephens. It’s not that I expected her level of success for myself, but I always dreamed of being a journalist and a published author.So, perhaps it’s a little embarrassing to admit all this, but I was always curious about if or when she’d embark on motherhood.

Olivia Mioni always knew that her mum was an inspiration, but when she stepped into motherhood herself, she appreciated her even more.

When Neha Ruch decided to take a career pause for family life, the mothers that she met weren’t exactly the image that society had painted of them. These mothers weren’t baby-obsessed, one dimensional people without a clever thought and they weren’t people that didn’t know how to do anything outside of changing a nappy.These were smart women with thoughts and passions and ideas. They were choosing to shift gears. Ambition was not left at the threshold that they crossed when they entered the door
