"In the grand scheme of things I love motherhood, but in this moment there's this email I'm really excited to reply to"
The push-pull of motherhood and paid work, from Episode 48 with Tori Bowman Johnson
Tori Bowman Johnson never considered herself overly maternal, so it's come as a surprise even to herself how entrenched her work is in the motherhood space.
Through her books, Afterwards and Before, and her production series The First Word, Tori is deeply passionate about opening up conversations not just about motherhood, but womanhood, too.
As a mother of two who has never taken traditional maternity leave, she knows a thing or two about making work, work and here, we talk about the messiness of navigating motherhood and paid work, wanting to pursue both, and tackling mum guilt.
