Episode Description
It’s no secret that working mums have been struggling. It’s been a shitty, shitty year on so many levels with the additional pressure of working from home and in a lot of cases, homeschooling. And while research has found that men have been helping out more at home, it’s still mums that traditionally take on the bulk of the household management. That workload sometimes feels like it’s impossible to manage, and it never ends… The toll on our mental health is huge. Chrissie Davies runs Chaos To Calm Consultancy - a resource to help parents with child behaviors and parent education – and she wants to know why we’re waiting for permission to outsource for help, if we can get it.

Navigating the Work Compass
Susan Chapman-Hughes and Cate Luzio
Over the past 23 months, our lives have changed dramatically, particular in the workplace. Many of us went from spending five days a week in an office, running from airport to airport, or meeting to meeting, to a completely remote environment juggling both our personal and professional lives from a dining room table. With women, in particular women of color, disproportionately impacted during the pandemic (more than 5mm women have exited the workforce since February 2020), what does a “return to the office” look like for you? What are the range of emotions and feelings about going back to work? Has your company addressed various situations of home-based, on-site or hybrid? Or put in place a timeline or new policies? What questions should you be asking? Is flexibility a concern, or lack of it? What changes can I make in how I manage that will support the diverse needs of my teams?
