    • How companies like Simply Get Results are redefining the work life for parents (and it's about time!). This episode is bursting with inspiration!
    • A deep dive into why work-life balance matters for ALL working women (mums, dads, everyone!). We're talking about equality, folks!

    Listen in if you're a parent who feels like they're on a work-life tightrope or if you just want to understand the fight for flexible work. Plus, Elizabeth throws down some knowledge bombs about the gender pay gap, so grab a notebook and your favourite beverage!
