Return to Office is Anti-Women | Two Cents Podcast ft. Deanna Cuadra

<p>In this episode of Two Cents Podcast, we sit down with Deanna Cuadra (reporter at P&amp;C Specialist Commercial at FT Specialist and formerly Employee Benefit News) to talk Return To Office mandates, why they’re hitting caregivers the hardest, and how a “back to normal” push can quietly become anti-woman.</p><p><br></p><p>Return To Office is anti-caregiver… and because women are still expected to carry most of that load, it becomes anti-woman. We get into the real reasons RTO is back in full force, why childcare costs make “just come back in” financially impossible for a lot of families, and what happens when companies ignore the talent they’re pushing out the door.</p><p><br></p><p>Plus, we talk what would actually make RTO more equitable: genuine hybrid schedules, stepping away from the rigid 9–5 mindset, and giving people more agency over how they show up, without sacrificing performance.</p><p><br></p><p>Whether you’re being pulled back into the office, trying to balance work with caregiving, or just wondering why this conversation feels so loaded right now, this episode is for you.</p><p><br></p><p>And if you liked this episode, we’d appreciate it if you gave us a follow and a review.
