"Life Bleeds into Work" with Sophie Black

Today on the show we have Sophie Black – a life-long journalist & writer currently in the role of the Head of Publishing at The Wheeler Centre, and Mum to two kids named Walter & Maggie. Sophie has had a brimming career, including working on the multi-award-winning podcast, The Messenger, the ABC Radio National program, Talkfest, and heading up titles such as Crikey, Daily Review... I could go on.  In today's conversation, Sophie talks about how deeply life and parenthood bleed into work, managing to continue her incredibly successful career whilst growing and raising two humans, being cured of her lifelong affliction of FOMO, and the painfully solitary experience of secondary infertility & the IVF process. TW: This is an episode that may be sensitive to people who are experiencing fertility issues, and or miscarriage. I think the story and experiences that Sophie shares are incredibly valuable for those supporting friends and/or family through these issues and perhaps even for some people experiencing similar things to feel validated for their emotions and pain. So it is a worthwhile listen if you are feeling up to it.   Show NotesMen at Work: Australia's Parenthood Trap – Annabel Crabb The Wife Drought: Why Women Need Wives, and Men Need Lives – Annabel Crabb Broadside – Monika Lewinsky & Sophie Black: Sexism & Feminsm Lean In: Women, Work, & the Will to Lead – Sheryl Sandberg _____________________   Original Music by J.
