E4 featuring Michelle Junaid: Hiding in the loo to get things done

This week I have been talking to Michelle Junaid who always knew she wanted a big family and a career with longevity, but never thought about how those things would impact each other. Michelle had her first child whilst working for a company with no maternity benefits above statutory minimum and she helped the company enhance this knowing that it was already too late for her to benefit from that policy herself. Michelle talks about how she and her husband play to their strengths and split parenting equitably so they both pursue their interests and objectives. Michelle is also writing a book called "When I grow up I want to be..." which will be a brilliant resource for parents to share with their kids to talk about their futures, although she has had to hide in the bathroom to get some peace and quiet to write. She is one amazing lady with her head screwed on and is a real inspiration so please listen in!!
