Motherhood is broken - here is how to fix it with Reshma Saujani
About this episode
I am really excited to bring you this week's episode with guest Reshma Saujani. Reshma is best known for the organisation she founded called Girls Who Code. It is one of the most influential nonprofits in the world and it has introduced millions of women to coding and the tech industry. During the pandemic, Reshma found herself with a 3-week-old and a pre-schooler trying to run her organisation and look after her family full-time. And that's when she broke. She says she spent the last 10 years telling girls to lean in and fight to get to the top; however, after her experience parenting and working during the pandemic, her message changed. Find out what she now has to say during this powerful episode.
