Episode Description from the Publisher

This week, Georgia sits down with Dolly Jones, former editor of Vogue.com and author of Leaving the Ladder Down, who interviewed over 200 women across every profession to find out how they really navigate working parenthood.From the unspoken rules of not mentioning your kids at work, to the guilt that follows you everywhere and the practical childcare logistics nobody warns you about - this is the conversation you wish someone had with you before you went back. Dolly also gets into why we judge each other so harshly at the school gate (spoiler: we're imagining it), the myth of the "perfect" return to work and the one piece of advice that takes the fear away entirely.Find a new episode every Tuesday & Friday and in the meantime check out Made By Mammas on Instagram: @madebymammas.Made By Mammas® is an Audio Always production.Made By Mammas is brought to you by Love Honey.
