About this episode

The episode discusses how to communicate a new pregnancy to your employer and the implications of career choices during early parenthood.

DEAR READY OR NOT: How do you tell your boss you're pregnant again after only just returning from maternity leave? Will stepping back from your career while your kids are little hurt you long term? And parental preference: when your kids only want mum and it's starting to create tension at home. — Got a question? Submit it here!  — Thanks for listening!
