1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: I would love to be a full time mom at

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: some point, but I think the anxiety of what if

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: I get bored? What if I want to return to

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: the workforce, What does that even mean? What does that

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: look like? You know, as the morning anchor, viewers want

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: to see a beauty queen. So I'm pranktic now I've

7
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: gained like forty pounds. I knew it would be an issue.

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: The Paycheck is back for a second season, and this

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: time we're talking about the one thing that hurts women's

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: earnings more than anything else, motherhood. As I was campaigning

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: for the Senate, I felt like I was leaving my

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: daughter behind. I learned the hard way that there is

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: no work life balance. We're going to investigate what happens

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: to women's paychecks, their lives, and the global economy when

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: women choose to have kids or don't. Wages have effectively

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: remained flat, while the cost of childcare it has gone

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: up nearly a thousand per cent, and it does lead

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: young people to have a legitimate question, is it okay

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: to still have children? The Paychecks new season starts April ten.
