Comedian Esther Manito joins Lisa and Alix to talk about returning to work after maternity leave. As well as discussing the almighty juggling act of teaching, breaking into comedy and parenting two small children, Esther chats post-return guilt, the unexpected joy of a commute and the dubious merits of baby salsa. Plus, there are voice notes from the Stylist audience on a whole host of post-leave dramas, from forgetting how to dress to the challenges of in-office breast pumping.
