Amy Bradshaw is the head of Australia at global media agency, Vayner Media. She’s worked in New York, London, and now back at home in Sydney, where she lives with her partner and two children. What I loved about my conversation with Amy is how pragmatic, honest, and genuine she is. She doesn’t dramatise the struggles of being a working parent, but she doesn’t over simplify it, either.

In this episode, we talk sailing around Croatia with a newborn, setting up Vayner Media’s Australian arm, the need for workplace flexibility for not only mothers but for all people and the importance of letting go in order to share the parenting load.

Amy returned to work four months after her daughter Romy was born, so this is a good one for those parents returning to work on the earlier side of things or while still breastfeeding.
