Welcome back to Dear Ready or Not, our weekly Q&A where you send us your questions on work, motherhood and everything in between, and we answer them honestly.
This week you’re asking us:
What’s one motherhood and one work/career hack that you swear by at the moment?
How have mums felt about their career after having a child? I don't want to be a stay at home mum but I also don't feel 100% driven at work either.
How do I be part of a team culture that revolves around drinks and lunch?

Welcome back to Ready or Not, the show where Loz and Lu try to figure out how to make work, work alongside motherhood.

Today on the show:

In the age of social media and constant hot takes, is the definition of the “good mother” constantly changing, or does society still favour one version of motherhood above all?
And, as promised, Loz and Lu go more in depth about what their week to week logistics look like, including what the start of kindergarten and primary school is actually like.
