Parental guilt - Why mums shouldn't try to have it all

One Day You'll Thank Me

Show Notes

It's our season finale this week, and Jenni and Rebecca are touching on one topic that has come up a lot during the season - can parents really have it all? The two discuss trying to maintain a work-life balance, how having kids have changed their career trajectories, and what having a kid has done to their identity. They are then joined by Newstalk ZB newsreader Raylene Ramsay, who shares her experiences with balancing career and family, before clinical psychologist Jacqui Maguire shares her tips and why parents need to stop trying to have it all. New episodes will be back from August 28th! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
