The ultimate working mum Q&A | Witching Hour

Welcome back to Witching Hour – the show where two mums and sort of cousins figure out how to make work, work. This week on Witching Hour, we flipped the script and answered your questions, the ones flooding our DMs every week about career, parenting, and everything in between.

Some of the questions we chat about include:

Can you get promoted part-time?
How do I handle work guilt when my child is sick?
How much parental leave should I take if I run my own business?
How do I switch from work mode to mum mode?
Is a boring but flexible job worth it?
How do I deal with pass-ag colleagues when it comes to judgement on working within school hours?
When can I “lean back in” after having kids?
How do I make a career pivot on mat leave?

This episode is a re-run, we have fresh content coming to your ears next week!
