This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Boon Wurong people of the Kulin Nation. The land on which we're lucky enough to raise our sons and daughters always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We Pay The Rent and you can too here.

The podcast for and about mums who make work, work, brought to you by two sort of cousins Loz (mum of three) and Lu (mum of two). Each Monday, we banter on all things motherhood, feminism, career, ambition, and pop culture. Thursdays, we answer three listener questions on all things motherhood and career. As an extension of the motherhood/career conversation, each month, you'll also find an interview with a real mum that's definitely not doing it all, but rather, doing her best to navigate it all.

“When should I start trying for baby number two?”

DEAR READY OR NOT: Can you ask for a pay rise after maternity leave? What do you do when you return after baby number three and suddenly hate a job you used to love? And how do you deal with a colleague who questions your commitment because they think you’re too young?

Paige Connell, who you might know as @sheisapaigeturner on social media, has become loved by her many hundreds of thousands of followers for her straight shooting, helpful, and intelligent reflections on the mental load of motherhood. 

She’s a mum of four in America, with two adopted children of colour and two biological white children, and this somewhat unique experience of parenting has taught her a lot about racism… about how early it’s experienced, how naive she was to it before, and why she believes white parents need to talk to their kids about racism. 

She’s a podcast host and a sought after speaker on gender equality, the mental load and the urgent need for affordable childcare and paid leave, and so, as you can imagine, here, we have a fascinating conversation that encompasses it all. 

At some points in the conversation, you'll hear that we had a slight challenge in the audio but we're sure the quality of her words, advice, and reflections will be what stays with you.

How to talk about the mental load with Paige Connell (aka @sheisapaigeturner)

21% of our community answered a recent Ready or Not poll in the same way, but Lu’s not sure she believes it. Here, we talk through the myth of 50/50 parenting in a world that is not equitable and equal for men and women.

Is this the biggest parenting lie we tell ourselves?
