This Glorious Mess

• From The Archives: “Women Can Have It All” But Can We Really?

  Money, money, money - we truly wish it was just an ABBA song, but in reality, talking about money can be very uncomfortable. For primary carers, finances and superannuation can take a significant hit, especially when relying on a partner’s salary during maternity leave. In this week's episode, Annaliese and Tegan tackle the question: when it comes to money, career, and family - can women really have it all, or have they been sold a lie? Plus, Sarah Marie helps a mother who’s torn between having another child and returning to work.
