88. Can You Actually Afford Motherhood?

Most women prepare for pregnancy.

Far fewer prepare for what motherhood does to their long-term finances.

In this episode, Nat explores the motherhood penalty, why women's earnings often fall after having children while men's continue to rise, and why the biggest financial cost of motherhood isn't nappies or childcare, but the change to your entire financial trajectory.

If you're already a mum, or you're thinking about becoming one, this is a conversation every family should have.
