184. Making work, work! With Lu and Loz from Ready or Not Podcast
Have you felt overwhelmed with the juggling act of returning to work as a parent? Wondering how to navigate part time hours, negotiations with your boss, daycare drop offs, meal planning, and finding work that you’re actually passionate about? This week we’re chatting with the incredible Lucinda and Lauren (Lu and Loz) from Ready or Not Podcast, on how to make work, work! In this episode we cover so much on the return to work transition, how to best manage the challenges that can come along with it, and how employers can make their workplaces more parent-friendly. We also have a yarn about Mum life, and absolutely loved chatting with Lu and Loz. This episode is full of great, relatable info, and of course, lots of lols! Lucinda McKimm and Lauren Treweek (aka Lu and Loz) are the brains behind Ready or Not - the podcast and go to guides created to support mums in making work, work. From interviews to banter to advice, the pretend cousins (Lu is married to Loz's cousin) release three episodes every week on all things motherhood and career, and have created expert online guides to support mums and all parents in transitioning back to paid work.
