Joeli Brearley on debilitating childcare costs and the motherhood penalty
She’s the founder of Pregnant Then Screwed and she’s a powerhouse when it comes to tackling the motherhood penalty. That’s 54,000 of us every year lopped out of the workforce for daring to have a baby. This episode digs deep on the current childcare crisis and how so many of us are getting into debt simply trying to function as a working family. Expect practical advice and an innate knowledge of what the flip is going on with a government that seems to think kids are a recreational side hustle. Cathartic for sure. Supportive, too.
