  2. Ella Salera on the pressure to be perfect

    Ella Salera on the pressure to be perfect

    Whenever we work with a brand that we love, I immediately want to know the founder’s story. And when our manager relayed Poonami founder Ella Salera’s motherhood and career journey back to me, I knew we had to interview her, because in so many ways, her story captures so many of the common challenges and experiences that our listeners face: working corporate while launching a side project, redundancy, two wildly different postpartum journeys, wondering if your postpartum symptoms are normal or something more, and the many challenges that come with starting a business.  Here, we talk about the weight gain and symptoms that led to the diagnosis of Hashimoto’s disease after her first baby, delivering her second baby six weeks early just after launching her business, unpacking the pressure to be perfect, and the gap that still exists between being a mum and a business owner.   — Thanks for listening!

You can also find us on Instagram: @readyornot.pod @laurentreweek_ @lucindamckimm_ —  In this episode, we cover the below topics:  Postpartum anxiety, premature birth, weight gain postpartum, hashimoto’s disease, launching a business before giving birth, redundancy after maternity leave, returning to work, juggling motherhood and career, launching a business, small business, childcare sickness, identity and more. — This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Boon Wurong people of the Kulin Nation.

    Melissa Reader on the conversation she wishes she had before her husband’s death

    Melissa Reader’s youngest baby was just nine months old when her husband was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. Just 15 months later, he died, leaving behind three children, a wife, and no will in place. Melissa became a single, self-employed mother and in amongst the agonising grief, she felt angry. Angry that they didn’t plan for the worst and overwhelmed by the death admin that comes with losing your husband, on top of navigating everything else.  And here, she tells us all about it; her story of loss and life after it, navigating motherhood and work through each chapter, and how her experience led her to start Violet, a not-for-profit helping families plan for the last stages of life.  — Thanks for listening!
