S10 EP31: Jacinda Ardern

Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe's Parenting Hell

Tuesday, 10 June 2025 - 1 hour 10 minutes

Joining us this episode to discuss the highs and lows of parenting (and life) is the former Prime Minister of New Zealand - Jacinda Ardern.

You can buy Jacinda's brilliant new book 'A Kind of Power' HERE

About the book: From the former prime minister of New Zealand, the world’s youngest female head of government and just the second world leader to have a baby whilst in office, comes a deeply personal memoir chronicling her extraordinary rise and offering inspiration to a new generation of leaders.Jacinda found out the news that she was pregnant with her first baby right before taking office in 2017, then had to announce this whilst new to her role as Prime Minister, and took just six weeks maternity leave. On her return, she had to just make it work - juggling sleepless nights and having a small office room converted into a nursery in New Zealand's official government building, The Beehive.
