Parenthood

Show Notes

This week I’m joined by Melina Sarris; channel 7 award winning news report and her husband Jono Laquinto to chat all things life behind closed doors.

We chat juggling careers whilst parenting 2 young children, staying connected with work while on maternity leave, bounce back pressure, how the couple handle the household responsibilities, career priorities and can we have it all?

A big thank you to our episode sponsor Care for Kids; find and compare childcare options today.
