We’re replaying this episode because—yet again—it’s school holidays here in New Zealand and both myself and Caz are right in the thick of it.This is a conversation that runs so much deeper than it appears on the surface. In this episode, I tackle the huge, hard topic of how our systems are failing mothers. Be warned—it’s confronting. I unpack the gender pay gap, occupational segregation, and the reasons women return to work, don’t return, or leave the workforce altogether. I explore the long-term impacts on our wellbeing and why all of this desperately needs to be challenged.Important New Zealand Research Discussed:Noy, S & Sin, I (2021).

In this podcast I share my first CrossFit Open with you - the roller coaster of ups ands downs - this is not really about CrossFit but about deeper conversations around doing something just for you, taking on a challenge that you don't feel ready for, the thoughts and feelings that are familiar to so many of us "can I do this?" and "it all feels too hard"....then how you feel on the other side
