    Can we afford the number of kids we actually want?

    01/11/2026 | 24 mins.
    New analysis from The Parenthood says raising two or more children now costs at least $36,500 a year, while Australia's fertility rate has fallen to 1.48 children per woman. So are Australians having the number of kids they actually want, or the number they can afford?

    What the hell do I wear to work after having kids?

    28/10/2026 | 10 mins.
    DEAR READY OR NOT: How do you dress for work when you’ve lost your style after having kids? Should you save your annual leave when you’re trying for another baby? And should you hide how many kids you have in a job interview?

    Is there ever a good time to change jobs when you’re trying to have a baby?

    21/10/2026 | 8 mins.
    DEAR READY OR NOT: Is there ever a good time to change jobs when you’re trying to build a family? Why does your partner’s “big week at work” automatically become your big week too? And is doing life admin on company time fair game?

    Women don’t take advantage of passed out men

    18/10/2026 | 30 mins.
    The Cornell 7 (or 57) case has made headlines around the world and, rightly, sparked a huge amount of outrage and conversation about consent, sexual violence and male behaviour. But Loz came across one reel about the case that raised a different argument she hadn't really considered before, and she wants to play it before we get into it.

About Ready or Not
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.
