Summary

Becoming a mother is one of the single biggest factors behind women dropping out of the work force - but why don't do we do something to stop 50% of our workforce potentially disappearing? It's something very much on Kate's mind which is why we brought Mother Pukka (aka Anna Whitehouse) onto the show to discuss how she's been campaigning for workplaces to offer more flexibility and the impact of the pandemic on the campaign. But of course, we cover so much more - on how Anna & her husband Matt have written three books together, how they keep the spark alive after having children and we even get to meet the family.
