  • The ultimate working mum Q&A | Witching Hour
    Jan 18 2026

    Welcome back to Witching Hour – the show where two mums and sort of cousins figure out how to make work, work. This week on Witching Hour, we flipped the script and answered your questions, the ones flooding our DMs every week about career, parenting, and everything in between.

    Some of the questions we chat about include:

    • Can you get promoted part-time?
    • How do I handle work guilt when my child is sick?
    • How much parental leave should I take if I run my own business?
    • How do I switch from work mode to mum mode?
    • Is a boring but flexible job worth it?
    • How do I deal with pass-ag colleagues when it comes to judgement on working within school hours?
    • When can I “lean back in” after having kids?
    • How do I make a career pivot on mat leave?

    This episode is a re-run, we have fresh content coming to your ears next week!

  • Why Sophie Cachia is done with trying to do it all
    Jan 13 2026

    Sophie Cachia is coming into her own in her mid thirties, and she’s been on quite the journey to get there. She had her first baby at 23, at a time when her career wasn’t certain and people assumed that pregnancy and motherhood would mean the end of it, and just last year, as a successful businesswoman in her mid thirties, her youngest baby entered her family – a family that, as Sophie will tell you herself, didn’t look exactly as she would’ve anticipated at the age of 20.


    In between all of that, there’s been separating with her older children’s dad, building her business, the online trolling that came with her growing success, and finding love again.


    Here, we talk about the petrifying feeling of knowing how quickly it’ll all pass and how that informs her mothering, why the fire in her belly is still aflame but burns differently now, what those OG mummy blogger days were like – from the good bits to the nastier side – and what it’s been like to build her multimillion dollar sweepwear label, Cachia.
