Girl math is more fun than mum math and why we're done with over apologising | Witching Hour

Welcome back to Witching Hour: the show that looks at what's exciting, delighting, intriguing, and frustrating us as we navigate making work, work alongside parenting.

In today's episode, we cover:

• Are you my momager? The burnout that millennial managers - particularly women and mothers - are experiencing in managing their team's emotional wellbeing, not just their workload. Plus, where do we draw the line between the personal and the professional and what should we expect from our bosses? (Find the piece and subscribe to our Ready or Not Substack channel here).
• Girl math is way more fun than the mental gymnastics of mum math and why we're afraid to admit that we spend money on anything that helps us parent (read the piece here).
• Workplace discrimination is rife for pregnant women and working parents, and why we're done with over apologising for taking sick days to tend to our sick kids (read the study here).
• Plus our Instagram community answer two of your questions: how to prepare financially for babies when considering trying to conceive, and making mum friends in a new town (submit your questions to our DMs via Instagram).
• Plus, Loz shares a mother's group tip.
• Just a heads up, there's a few swear words and we briefly touch on a story including attempted suicide in this episode.
