Deb Perelman's New York Times piece, In the Covid-19 Economy, You Can Have a Kid or a Job. You Can’t Have Both. struck a chord with parents everywhere. She wrote: "Every single person confesses burnout, despair, feeling like they are losing their minds, knowing in their guts that this is untenable." 

In this episode, I catch up with my childhood friend, Sheila Joy, about the challenges she's faced parenting her 7-year old son Micah during lockdown.  From juggling three different jobs - mother, teacher and employee - to Micah gatecrashing her meetings, Sheila shares how she's coped. She also talks about her joy of discovering an aspect of Micah's personality and what she misses most about being in the office.
