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:

What does seeing me work all the time do to my kids? We go deep on that piece on The Cut that’s gone viral. Then:
“I’ve lost my ambition, and I’m okay with it…”: Amil Niazi is the author of a new book called Life After Ambition: A Good Enough Memoir, and she recently shared an excerpt of it on Chatelaine that had led us on a meandering conversation of what ambition means and where we’re at with it.

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:

Loz goes deep on the fascinating research that tells us how mums start the new year, and just a hint, it’s not “new year new me” and,
How to go back to work at a job that makes you feel hollow. This is a brilliant post I stumbled upon on Instagram, and for those of us sitting at our desks feeling a little despondent, I thought this might be the pep in the step that we all need.
And particularly today but also everyday, it feels particularly important to acknowledge that this podcast was recorded on the lands of the Boon Wurong people of the Kulin Nation.
