  • Excellent!

    This show is top notch! Nothing about their discussions is superficial or stereotypical or lame, but just real life and nuanced and also very relatable. Yes it’s by two mums who discuss life as mums but they both address life’s ups and downs generally with or without kids really poignantly! J’dore!

  • So glad I found this podcast

    I was looking for a resource as a new first time mum who is currently on mat leave as trying to wrap my head around how to make work work when I go back.

    Ready or not is like a chat with mates about the realities of juggling work and mum life.

    I love that Loz and Lucinda represent the average Aussie mum and talk honestly about what works and what doesn’t.

    They’re authentic and answer the real questions we all have about motherhood, work and life.

    I feel far less stressed about what retur... more

  • So relatable

    Listened to my first ep and am disappointed I did not find your podcast sooner. Q&A episode was great and felt seen and heard. As a mum who is 9months post partum with my second bub returning to work in a few months was really validating to listen and know my feelings are felt by many! Thank you
