About this episode

The episode discusses the pressures and guilt associated with hiring a night nanny for mothers.

The bad news is we had a technical glitch and lost our audio files, the good news is we extracted the video audio so we didn't leave you without an ep this week. A night nanny sounds like the dream, so why does accepting help come with a complimentary side of shame and guilt? Today we’re unpacking the weird pressure to do it all, the judgement around outsourcing the night shift and why exhausted mums simply cannot win.
