In this episode of The Netmums Podcast, Wendy Golledge and Alison Perry welcome the incredibly insightful Emma Barnett, an award-winning journalist and broadcaster known for her work on BBC Radio 4's Today programme and Women's Hour. Emma, a mother of two, shares her experiences surrounding maternity leave and the often-unspoken realities of motherhood.
The conversation includes:
- The Reality of Maternity Leave: Emma discusses the challenges of feeling both isolated and in need of connection during this transformative period.
- Rebranding Maternity Leave: Emma proposes a new perspective on maternity leave, framing it as a time of service and kindness rather than just a break from work.
- The Impact of IVF: Emma opens up about her IVF journey, reflecting on the emotional rollercoaster and the importance of community support during this time.
- The Myth of Motherhood: The trio explores the romanticised notions of motherhood and how the realities often differ from expectations.
- Finding Balance: Emma shares her approach to juggling work, motherhood, and her new business venture, Claire Your Streets, while offering practical advice for parents seeking to find their footing.
Join us for a discussion that challenges the norms of motherhood and offers a fresh perspective on the journey of parenting.
