Prabha Nandagopal on finding her second wind

mardi 23 septembre 2025 • Durée 34:22

Prabha Nandagopal is a force. She’s a human rights and discrimination lawyer who’s worked on big national enquiries on immigration detention law and policy and Respect@Work. She’s also a woman of colour who became a single mum at just 10 days postpartum.

And when you add those things together, it’d be easy to conclude that in life and in work, the odds have been stacked against her. But, as you’re about to hear, Prabha has always considered herself a rebel and a changemaker, and she’s made a career out of it.

From her experience navigating a challenging conception journey and life as a single mum to the ways in which motherhood has impacted her for the better, this is a story that is inspiring and comforting in equal measure.

Gen Z vs everyone else: How does our generation define how we show up at work? Is questioning the ‘why’ of the task at hand lazy or smart?

Dr Katie on switching from mum mode to work mode

mardi 16 septembre 2025 • Durée 56:47

Often, when work is feeling stressful, I think to myself, Lucy, you’re not saving lives, why are you letting this get to you so much? And then I think to myself, wait, how do the parents that ARE saving lives in their day job navigating it all? So I had to bring on Dr Katie to answer that question.

She’s an emergency doctor, she’s a mother of three, she’s much loved for the content she creates for social media, her husband is a stay at home dad, and her beautiful boy Alexander is autistic and non-speaking. And so, as you can imagine, her life is very full, and she’s here to tell us all about it – how her sense of identity has changed while moving through her career and parenting journey, the unique challenges and joys that come with parenting an autistic child, why finding community support is crucial and what a week in the life actually looks like for the busy mum.

This conversation is particularly close to my heart as an auntie to a very similar child, and I thank Katie for sharing her story so vulnerably with us.
