Episode 23: The Episode You Need if You Are About to Return from Maternity Leave

All three of us have made the transition from maternity leave to working. And all three of us had different experiences every single time. For some women, they are excited for the opportunity to head back where others may end up with tears streaming down their face in the parking lot at daycare drop off.

All feelings are valid. It doesn’t make you any less of a mother if you are joyfully packing your work bag to head back. And it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be a working mother if you’re in tears, it just may mean it takes a bit more time to fully transition.

Today we give dozens of tangible takeaways to make this transition smoother for you and also a warm hug of solidarity in any way you may be feeling. This is the perfect episode to send over to a friend or come back to when the transition from maternity leave is coming.
