Sarah and her husband moved to Melbourne from abroad over a decade ago. In this episode, we discuss raising children away from family overseas, being a working parent and Australia's maternal and healthcare benefits.

This episode of the Motherlode touches on the following topics:

  • Working mothers
  • Women and mothers in the workplace
  • Open conversations with children
  • Public healthcare
  • Maternity leave
  • Fertility
  • Owning a home in Melbourne
  • Feminist values
  • Avoiding gender roles in the home
  • Breastfeeding

As we do in each episode, we also talk about all things parenting - from how we were raised, the pregnancy,  the early days and the present.
