1
00:00:10,669 --> 00:00:14,869
Speaker 1: My Heart podcasts, hear more Kids podcasts, playlists, and listen

2
00:00:14,909 --> 00:00:16,468
Speaker 1: live on the Free I hard.

3
00:00:16,308 --> 00:00:19,869
Speaker 2: A could have been every under his will and Woody

4
00:00:19,948 --> 00:00:23,948
Speaker 2: Laura Henshaw's in the studio. She just stepped down as

5
00:00:23,948 --> 00:00:27,509
Speaker 2: the CEO of Kick and she's heavily pregnant.

6
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:30,509
Speaker 3: Unrelated, They're unrelated.

7
00:00:30,989 --> 00:00:32,309
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful coincidence.

8
00:00:32,748 --> 00:00:34,309
Speaker 3: Is that right? That is exactly right?

9
00:00:34,388 --> 00:00:37,469
Speaker 1: Okay, just checking, So definitely not stepping down because you're pregnant,

10
00:00:37,629 --> 00:00:39,629
Speaker 1: and I think it's important to send the message out

11
00:00:39,668 --> 00:00:41,668
Speaker 1: that like, even if you are pregnant or having children,

12
00:00:41,748 --> 00:00:44,788
Speaker 1: you can absolutely stay in your role as CEO.

13
00:00:45,188 --> 00:00:46,709
Speaker 3: I do want to ask you, though, I Reckon, We.

14
00:00:46,668 --> 00:00:50,428
Speaker 1: Spoke to you a year and a half ago before

15
00:00:50,468 --> 00:00:52,749
Speaker 1: you were pregnant and you're doing the podcast as well,

16
00:00:52,748 --> 00:00:54,429
Speaker 1: of should I have kids? Not sure if you want

17
00:00:54,469 --> 00:00:57,828
Speaker 1: to have kids, and that idea of work did come up,

18
00:00:58,309 --> 00:01:00,268
Speaker 1: and you were kind of grappling with that idea of

19
00:01:00,389 --> 00:01:03,589
Speaker 1: I spend so much time at work and other things

20
00:01:03,629 --> 00:01:07,069
Speaker 1: like can I make the whole family thing work? How

21
00:01:07,069 --> 00:01:08,989
Speaker 1: are you feeling about the whole thing now as your

22
00:01:08,989 --> 00:01:10,469
Speaker 1: partner Dulton feeling about it?

23
00:01:11,029 --> 00:01:12,989
Speaker 4: Oh, it was actually a big part of it was

24
00:01:13,029 --> 00:01:15,589
Speaker 4: my identity because it works been a larger career, large

25
00:01:15,629 --> 00:01:17,309
Speaker 4: part of my identity that I didn't want to lose.

26
00:01:18,309 --> 00:01:21,109
Speaker 4: And so I think the further I've come on the

27
00:01:21,189 --> 00:01:24,589
Speaker 4: journey and the more people I have met, and especially

28
00:01:24,629 --> 00:01:26,789
Speaker 4: like women working in executive roles or you know, whatever

29
00:01:26,789 --> 00:01:29,309
Speaker 4: the role does have to be executive, might be what

30
00:01:29,349 --> 00:01:31,709
Speaker 4: I have found is a lot of the women that

31
00:01:31,869 --> 00:01:35,149
Speaker 4: haven't maybe stayed home for a long long time and

32
00:01:35,189 --> 00:01:37,749
Speaker 4: gone back to work and careers still stayed a really

33
00:01:37,789 --> 00:01:40,149
Speaker 4: big part of their life. They just don't talk about

34
00:01:40,149 --> 00:01:43,828
Speaker 4: it on social media, so you just don't really hear

35
00:01:43,909 --> 00:01:46,268
Speaker 4: a lot about it, which means why I was scared

36
00:01:46,269 --> 00:01:48,909
Speaker 4: that that wouldn't be able to be me, but it

37
00:01:48,949 --> 00:01:50,869
Speaker 4: can be. So that's been really good to navigate.

38
00:01:51,069 --> 00:01:52,309
Speaker 3: Do you think they don't do it?

39
00:01:52,309 --> 00:01:54,269
Speaker 1: Because and I otherwise thought it was very unfair of

40
00:01:54,389 --> 00:01:57,429
Speaker 1: like when Abby Holmes is someone who works as a

41
00:01:57,429 --> 00:02:00,709
Speaker 1: commentator for the AFL and she returned to work after

42
00:02:00,709 --> 00:02:01,229
Speaker 1: having a baby.

43
00:02:01,229 --> 00:02:03,429
Speaker 4: I don't know exactly what the time was, seven weeks

44
00:02:03,429 --> 00:02:03,909
Speaker 4: I think.

45
00:02:03,829 --> 00:02:07,629
Speaker 1: Seven weeks after that's right, Yeah, there was and online

46
00:02:07,909 --> 00:02:09,669
Speaker 1: just like you shouldn't be at work, you should be

47
00:02:09,668 --> 00:02:10,589
Speaker 1: at home with the baby.

48
00:02:11,549 --> 00:02:13,629
Speaker 3: How did you like seeing that out there? How did

49
00:02:13,629 --> 00:02:14,269
Speaker 3: that make you feel?

50
00:02:14,508 --> 00:02:14,668
Speaker 2: Oh?

51
00:02:14,749 --> 00:02:16,469
Speaker 4: I get it's like, would you ever say that to

52
00:02:16,549 --> 00:02:19,509
Speaker 4: the dad if it's a heterosexual relationship, like you, we

53
00:02:19,549 --> 00:02:22,309
Speaker 4: wouldn't say that, right, And for Abby, she's doing the

54
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:25,429
Speaker 4: best thing for herself and if going back to work

55
00:02:25,509 --> 00:02:28,469
Speaker 4: means that she'll be a better parent, then it's her

56
00:02:29,029 --> 00:02:30,349
Speaker 4: decision of course.

57
00:02:30,549 --> 00:02:30,829
Speaker 3: Yeah.

58
00:02:30,909 --> 00:02:32,989
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy how people project like that. I wonder

59
00:02:33,069 --> 00:02:34,429
Speaker 4: for some of them it's like they didn't have the

60
00:02:34,469 --> 00:02:37,029
Speaker 4: opportunity to do that so or maybe they didn't want to,

61
00:02:37,109 --> 00:02:39,709
Speaker 4: and so it's uncomfortable that she wants to.

62
00:02:40,189 --> 00:02:42,749
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so you and if you and Dalton discussed her?

63
00:02:42,789 --> 00:02:44,669
Speaker 3: And what does Dalton do for work? Does he?

64
00:02:44,989 --> 00:02:47,269
Speaker 4: So he runs his own business, but he's actually also

65
00:02:47,349 --> 00:02:49,069
Speaker 4: just stepped down a CEO, So.

66
00:02:51,629 --> 00:02:54,509
Speaker 1: He did he make his decision before pregnancy as well?

67
00:02:54,549 --> 00:02:56,029
Speaker 3: Or is his pregnant pregnancy related?

68
00:02:56,589 --> 00:02:58,829
Speaker 4: He probably was a part of it, but not the

69
00:02:58,829 --> 00:02:59,788
Speaker 4: main the main thing.

70
00:03:00,069 --> 00:03:03,269
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, So out of the two of you, Like,

71
00:03:03,349 --> 00:03:06,029
Speaker 1: is there going to be like a if we have

72
00:03:06,149 --> 00:03:09,508
Speaker 1: to label like a primary caregiver out of the two

73
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:10,869
Speaker 1: of you, or is it just going to be like

74
00:03:10,949 --> 00:03:12,429
Speaker 1: you're going to try and just like split it.

75
00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:17,909
Speaker 4: We haven't been parents yet, so I'm very like love.

76
00:03:20,349 --> 00:03:29,029
Speaker 4: But then the road to hell is paid, both both equal.

77
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:31,469
Speaker 4: That's kind of what we where. We want to aim

78
00:03:31,469 --> 00:03:33,829
Speaker 4: for and obviously it will ebb and flow like everything does.

79
00:03:33,869 --> 00:03:36,389
Speaker 4: But that's how we want it. We want to do it.

80
00:03:36,429 --> 00:03:39,789
Speaker 4: But he's very regimented and he wants to have a

81
00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:43,589
Speaker 4: two hour schedule overnight. He made us write it down.

82
00:03:43,629 --> 00:03:47,269
Speaker 4: It's very nice. He's thinking about it from eight six

83
00:03:47,629 --> 00:03:53,909
Speaker 4: pm until the next day am and two hours. Every

84
00:03:53,949 --> 00:03:55,069
Speaker 4: two hours someone has to happen.

85
00:03:55,229 --> 00:03:56,509
Speaker 2: Child's waking up at ten am.

86
00:03:58,789 --> 00:04:01,069
Speaker 4: We haven't we haven't had children, he said, Laura, I'm

87
00:04:01,069 --> 00:04:03,749
Speaker 4: going to take eight pm until two am, but I'm

88
00:04:03,789 --> 00:04:05,949
Speaker 4: not going to go to sleep the whole time. Why

89
00:04:06,469 --> 00:04:08,189
Speaker 4: just in case maybe needs me.

90
00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:14,389
Speaker 2: That is in first Wow, get sleep when you can.

91
00:04:15,069 --> 00:04:16,508
Speaker 3: I just love the idea. Off you were sitting up

92
00:04:16,549 --> 00:04:18,988
Speaker 3: being like, no, it's my ship. Just punching red bulls.

93
00:04:19,428 --> 00:04:19,669
Speaker 4: Wow.

94
00:04:20,389 --> 00:04:26,429
Speaker 2: Preparing late, oh wow, to be fair getting back in

95
00:04:26,509 --> 00:04:29,469
Speaker 2: his job sounds like you need something to feel his time.

96
00:04:29,549 --> 00:04:33,589
Speaker 1: I was listening to babies crying in preparation. Wow, Like

97
00:04:33,629 --> 00:04:37,309
Speaker 1: I caught a baby boot camp ridiculous. Wow, don't do that.

98
00:04:37,869 --> 00:04:38,988
Speaker 1: It's not the same as having.

99
00:04:38,869 --> 00:04:39,669
Speaker 3: A real baby crying.

100
00:04:41,109 --> 00:04:43,349
Speaker 2: So how so, when do you officially stop work or

101
00:04:43,389 --> 00:04:44,429
Speaker 2: have you officially stopped work?

102
00:04:44,669 --> 00:04:46,709
Speaker 4: I haven't yet. I've stepped out of the rule, but

103
00:04:46,749 --> 00:04:47,949
Speaker 4: I'm still working.

104
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:50,149
Speaker 2: Because you're aware that all of this could flip very quickly.

105
00:04:50,229 --> 00:04:51,789
Speaker 2: I was just thinking of a friend of mine who's

106
00:04:51,829 --> 00:04:54,269
Speaker 2: a high power, Like she's a partner at a personal

107
00:04:54,269 --> 00:04:58,309
Speaker 2: injury firm. She works incredibly hard, and she recently just

108
00:04:58,349 --> 00:05:00,509
Speaker 2: took her matt leave and I think the first week

109
00:05:00,589 --> 00:05:02,669
Speaker 2: she was she caught it with like a maide of

110
00:05:02,669 --> 00:05:05,389
Speaker 2: mine's dad for coffee, just to fill the time.

111
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:08,229
Speaker 3: Like she like she was proper.

112
00:05:08,349 --> 00:05:10,709
Speaker 2: And I know how busy you are, so you know

113
00:05:10,829 --> 00:05:14,949
Speaker 2: there will be probably a gestation period there mind the

114
00:05:14,949 --> 00:05:19,309
Speaker 2: pun off when you begin this change of your life,

115
00:05:19,629 --> 00:05:23,709
Speaker 2: that's all you've known. Yeah, it'll be like wow. And then,

116
00:05:23,789 --> 00:05:25,869
Speaker 2: because I mean it's funny, we're asking all these questions,

117
00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:28,789
Speaker 2: you won't like, you won't know exactly, you won't know.

118
00:05:28,869 --> 00:05:30,629
Speaker 2: And then you hear these stories of other people who

119
00:05:30,829 --> 00:05:32,509
Speaker 2: are career people, their whole lives, they have a child,

120
00:05:32,509 --> 00:05:33,949
Speaker 2: they throw the whole thing out the window and they're like,

121
00:05:33,988 --> 00:05:35,308
Speaker 2: why would I ever do anything to do with that

122
00:05:35,349 --> 00:05:37,149
Speaker 2: ever again? And then you know you got to Abby,

123
00:05:37,469 --> 00:05:40,429
Speaker 2: who knows it's all so different from everyone's No way

124
00:05:40,429 --> 00:05:43,229
Speaker 2: you can do it. Yeah, I'm certainly not a two

125
00:05:43,229 --> 00:05:44,628
Speaker 2: hour by two hours nightly.

126
00:05:46,749 --> 00:05:52,069
Speaker 4: For two hours, I was like, I've got forty five

127
00:05:52,109 --> 00:05:53,909
Speaker 4: minutes to go and to wake up for them.
