Show Notes
If you're expecting, a new mum, or wrangling a toddler, we have all the best resources for new parents in our free newsletter here. When you become a mum, every career choice suddenly comes under scrutiny. All of a sudden, it can feel like you owe everyone an explanation for why you’re a stay at home mum, or still in love with your job, or just slogging it out, trying to make ends meet. Like lots of things in motherhood, it seems there’s no right way to do it. In this episode, we dive deep on motherhood and careers. You’ll hear from journalist Narelda Jacobs about how her career in TV news made her want to hug her daughter so much tighter. From comedian Veronica Milsom, who has just left her drive time radio gig to give birth to her second child. From disability activist Stephanie Thompson about how her whole career had to shift after childbirth. And many more.

Mum guilt—it's something most of us have heard about. But what about Dad guilt? Does it exist? Annaliese and Tegan take a deep dive into their own experiences with Mum guilt, exploring where it stems from. To get the Dad perspective, they brought back resident dad Thom Lion to share whether dads feel the same weight of guilt. Plus, a few of Mamamia's own dads shared their honest take...
