Stephanie Vizard has thought and written a lot about parenting, relationships, and work. Her first novel, The Love Contract, was directly inspired by maternity leave and in her most recent release, A Smart Girl’s Guide to Second Chances, Steph explores the dynamics between mothers and daughters, and how their relationship is impacted by really different attitudes to work, ambition, and parenting.But when she’s not writing, she works as a lawyer. And here, we hear all about navigating both the corporate and creative sides of her career as a mum who wants to be as successful as her dad has been and as good to her kids as her mum has been to her. Here, we talk about drowning under the weight of it all even when on paper all your dreams have come true, starting a new job when you’re also newly pregnant, and what it feels like when your body starts to feel like yours again after years of sharing it with your children. —Thanks for listening!
