Mindset is a guide to getting out of your own way and a blueprint for professional success.
In this series, neuroscience coach Shelley Laslett will join FW’s Sally Spicer to explore the negative feelings that threaten to hold us back before FW’s Helen McCabe and Jamila Rizvi share their practical wisdom, moving you just that little bit closer to resilience and fulfilment.
Hey Mindset listeners! We wanted to share another podcast we think you'll love about Australia's childcare crisis. It's called At What Cost?
In the blur of early parenthood, many parents don’t stop to think about how the roles they adopt at home – as the primary caregiver, or as the breadwinner – impact their careers and finances in the long-term. But they do. And when families can’t access affordable childcare, it’s generally women whose job security takes a hit. This fuels gender inequality on a national scale… contributing to the gender pay gap and the super gap. It also leaves real mums like Emma, whose story we hear in this episode, grappling with housing insecurity and an uncertain future.
Join our host Georgie Dent in our third and final full-length episode as we unpack the costs of the childcare crisis to gender equality and the economy Plus: experts share five key solutions that could help make childcare truly accessible and affordable for all – which would be transformative for our country, and especially women.

CHILDCARE CRISIS: The childcare deserts
Hey Mindset listeners! We wanted to share another podcast we think you'll love about Australia's childcare crisis. It's called At What Cost?
When is a choice not a choice? Almost a quarter of Australia’s population is now living in a ‘childcare desert’ - and this scarcity means that many families’ financial and work schedules hinge on being offered a childcare spot in the first place.
In this episode, we hear from real parents and experts about the near-impossible workarounds for families who can’t access suitable childcare and can’t afford not to work: from regional mum Kelly, who forked out for a private carer when the local childcare refused her son full days of care, to agricultural workers taking their kids to work on the farm.

Childcare crisis special: "The guilt filled juggle."
Hey Mindset listeners! We wanted to share another podcast we think you'll love about Australia's childcare crisis. It's called At What Cost?
Australia is known as the “lucky country”. So how did struggling to access affordable childcare become the norm? Amid a cost-of-living crunch, most families say they need two incomes to make ends meet. But with childcare fees in Australia being among the highest in the world, parents are caught in a “cost of working trap”: they can’t afford not to work, but the cost of care is so high it eats into their earnings.
