The most common fear we heard from you while planning this series,
was what children would do to your career. Progression, relevancy,
loss of superannuation, loss of identity, and comments like "why
would you have kids if you're going to go back to work," all
contribute to women making the decision to have children. And with
increased rates of homelessness among women in Australia, and women
retiring with 28% less superannuation than men, these fears are not
baseless. But having children doesn’t have to end or derail your
career. Children could even help your career. In this episode Laura
speaks with two women on different sides of the career &
motherhood journey. Founder & coach Janey Martino had three
children under 3 in her early 30’s while her career was on a high.
She continued working and now that her children are teenagers, she
is able to role model to them what working parenthood looks like.
Britt Austin loves her career in sports marketing so she created a
plan that would help her return to work four months after giving
birth to her first baby in April. Then you share your

Read KPMG’s report ‘The Gender Superannuation Gap’ from 2021 which
states “The median superannuation balance for men aged 60‑64 years
is $204,107 whereas for women in the same age group it is $146,900,
a gap of 28 per cent.”

female, an increase of 10.1% from 2016, compared to a 1.6% increase
for men in the same period
