LEADERSHIP & CONFIDENCE COACH
Bringing clarity and focus to mums returning to work after maternity leave
When you return to work after parental leave it can feel like starting a new job - but strange, because it is YOUR job and it should feel familiar.
Everyone says "not much happened while you were away". On your Keeping In Touch days, no-one really had any updates for you. But things don't feel quite the same.
The decisions you used to make easily take longer and you've started to second guess them. Colleagues you relied on for advice and a friendly word have moved on to different things and even though the office is busy, you are starting to feel isolated.
You rush to do the nursery drop off, handing over a tearful child to a kind stranger (who assures you they will be fine when you've gone ....). You scramble to pull yourself together before heading into your meeting.
Pulling Postman Pat out of your bag along with your papers you have a moment where you wonder what on earth you are doing here.
What happened to the confident career woman? When did she become a tired, tearful and slightly frazzled mess? You wonder when it will get easier - surely it should be feeling easier by now?
You find that you are constantly kicking yourself for missed opportunities. You wish you’d spoken up in the team meeting last week - but at the time, you weren't sure what you had to say was relevant.
You might have been passed over for a big project that would have had your name on it before - because "you've not been back long" or "you only work part time". You feel a weird mix of frustration that your career is stalling along with relief because maybe, you wouldn't have been up to it anyway.
Perhaps your frustration with work is starting to spill over into family life. You've found yourself feeling guilty for losing your temper and snapping over little things.
Or maybe you've seen a job that you would have been brilliant at before maternity - but you are questioning if you would really be good enough to apply now?
You are not who you used to be and maybe you aren’t quite sure who you are now. You are still adjusting to the working mum version of you. You might be worrying that your professional skills have gone a little rusty.
You might be feeling stuck, lost, lonely and guilty. Knowing that something needs to change but not sure where to start or if you have the energy.
As a certified Coaching Professional with a background in Behavioural Science, I am here to help you thrive after your return to work. Whatever you are struggling with right now, it is time to bring back the best and bravest version of you.

Re-ignite Your Leadership Potential - Without Sacrificing Your Family or Your Sanity!
You are juggling multiple identities - mum, manager, finder of lost things - and you are struggling to keep it together.
The traditional leadership training and corporate environments don’t meet your real needs as a mum, and you’re left feeling misunderstood and unsupported.
-
The Weight of the Transition: Returning to work after maternity leave feels like starting over. You’re unsure of how to navigate this shift and face the pressure of managing both work and family, often at the expense of your own needs.
-
Identity Conflict: Balancing your identity as a mother and a leader leaves you feeling disconnected from both roles. You want to succeed at work but don’t want to sacrifice the time and energy needed to nurture your family.
-
Lack of Customised Support: Most leadership programs are tailored for people without the added responsibilities of motherhood. You’re looking for something designed specifically for you—someone who’s at the intersection of career ambition and the transformative journey of motherhood.
