We need to talk about the Motherhood Penalty. A penalty that only mothers pay when they become parents. A penalty that can last a lifetime when it comes to salary, career, and retirement savings. And a penalty that I have personally experienced. This podcast series is going to talk about the Motherhood Penalty. It is going to shine a light on what it is, get curious about the system that creates it and talk to experts to get their ideas on how we can all smash it so that our children and their children never have to experience it.
In this very first episode we set the stage for what is to come and dive into defining what the Motherhood Penalty is:
