'Reflecting the motherhood penalty in earnings' is the most jarring statement I've read in a long time, it just opened my eyes so much. Wow! So well written and timely too!

It felt jarring to write! The stats of financial impact, everytime I do a piece like this, are overwhelming — especially when it comes to motherhood and those in caregiving positions.

And you said it so matter of factly. I’m glad you didn’t sugarcoat it at all. We need to hear it

so eye opening. Thank you for this. All my friends are taken, and it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that being single is horrible. But it’s not. I’m going to focus on what’s important from now on!

I totally understand though that being surrounded by people in relationships makes it harder to ignore. Proud of you for focussing on the right thing and not giving into social pressure 🥰
