2024/09/10

For some mothers, the idea of leaving their baby - particularly in those first few months or even years - feels excruciating, irreconcilable, even. For others, having space to engage in pursuits outside of mothering feels important, perhaps even necessary.Both feelings are valid and on this particular subject, I'm a chameleon. Every day, my wants and needs as a mother and a professional turn a new shade - my feelings are never stagnant, they're ever-changing.I've often said that if there was a way

For decades, women and mothers have been hiding. We cover up our breasts as we feed our babies because since forever, our breasts have been sexualised. How dare you get those tarty things out to offer nourishment to that hungry, tired love of your life. Put them away.We hide the blood that drops between our legs because we've been told it's disgusting. And what's more repulsive, more unattractive, more intolerable, they tell us, is the mood swings that it brings. A woman on her period, they say, is

When I sat down to record this chat with my friend and the founder of Emeldo Emily Dornbusch, I warned her that I might sound a little bit more professional and a little less like me. But on listening back, it's actually the listeners that I need to warn, because this conversation is probably about as honest a depiction of making work, work alongside motherhood as you'll get. We have a baby that magically discovered a cough just as the mother of two who's pregnant with her third sat down to join us

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. I admire her thoughts and feelings and work so much that I wanted to know:
