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:

• Why your newborn might be “sleeping better” than your toddler – Loz is in the trenches with sleep at the moment and no, it’s not from her 9 month old, it’s from her toddler who’s 3.
• Nine things that genuinely make parenting better, from a parent educator and mum of four. Gen Muir recently shared the best tips and I want to unpack it with you and get your insights along the way.

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:

• I currently work a 4 day work-week. Do I spend the day ‘off’ with my toddler or put them in care and get on top of life / house work?
• How do you manage mum rage?
• Are parents moving away from gentle parenting?
•

Amy Carmody is someone that I’ve long admired from afar; for the way she’s built her business and community, for the way she talks about the light and shade of parenting with so much candour and warmth, and for my now confirmed suspicion that the person you see on the internet is the exact same person that you’ll meet in real life. She’s just real.

She’s real about how much her first birth impacted the earlier days of her mothering journey. She’s honest when it comes to recalling the lonely experience of being the first in the group to have a baby, and she won’t gaslight you when it comes to answering the “how do you do it all?” question. Because hint: she doesn’t even try to do it all.

Here, we – you guessed it – get real on it all. Going from zero to one, going from one to two, more recently going from two to three, and how she’s navigated her career alongside it. This felt so much like a chat between friends, and perhaps after listening, you might just feel like Amy is your friend too. So let’s get into it.
