Having a baby is life-altering in every respect - and your finances are no exception.

Stephanie Pow is the founder of Crayon. She’s on a mission to make it easier for parents to effectively manage the dollars and cents alongside the nappies and sleepless nights. 

She joins Nadine this week to discuss what people need to know about parental leave, including some 'quirks' in the law that can be surprising - and costly - for parents.
