Show Notes

This week on Mum’s The Word, Georgia Jones and Kelsey Parker are joined by the unstoppable Anna Whitehouse, better known as Mother Pukka who's a broadcaster, author, activist, and founder of the Flex Appeal movement.

Anna opens up about the reality of being a working mum and why flexible working isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity!

Together, they dive into: 💪 What the Flex Appeal really is and why it matters ⚖️ How mothers are still being discriminated against in the workplace 🤝 What Anna means by an “army of women” fighting for each other 💷 And why society continues to undervalue mothers, especially financially

It’s a must-listen for every parent trying to juggle career, family, and everything in between.
