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:

• How do you navigate a job that’s significantly more intense than the one you have now?
• How and when do you ask for 4 days or 3 days when the role was advertised for 5 days?
• Is it wrong that I’m bored on maternity leave? I’m 4 months in, absolutely obsessed with bub but bored.
•

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:

• And then, with International Women’s Day coming up, let’s talk about the hidden cost of being a woman. Find the Two Broke Chicks post here.

This week you’re asking us:

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?
