Are we setting working parents up to fail? | Brands & Leaders Ep. 7

Are we setting working parents up to fail? In this episode, I sit down with Denise Heavey, founder of Mentorhood, to talk about the unspoken realities of combining a career with raising a family today.From the crushing weight of childcare costs to the lack of supportive workplace cultures, Denise shares her deeply personal journey through IVF and postnatal depression that inspired her to say, "Enough is enough." We dive into why middle-income earners are feeling the squeeze more than ever, the stigma fathers still face when asking for flexibility, and what the government and businesses in Jersey need to do to stop the burnout.If you are a working parent feeling the "mom guilt" or just trying to survive the financial and mental load of the first three years of your child's life, you are not alone, and this conversation is for you.
