Returning to work after a period of leave can feel overwhelming, particularly for new parents.

Juggling career ambitions with new responsibilities while navigating systems that weren't always designed with working parents in mind.

This workshop will help you understand the challenges you're facing and equip you with practical strategies to thrive, not just survive.

What we'll cover:

We'll explore some of the barriers that exist around coming back to work, then we'll focus on what you can control: letting go of the "perfect mother" myth and the "shoulds" that drain your energy; rebalancing the domestic and mental load at home using evidence-based approaches like the Fair Play Method; protecting your wellbeing by prioritising joy over endless to-do lists; and building your support network through coaching, workplace ERGs, and community connections.

What you'll leave with:

Clarity on which battles to fight and which standards to drop, plus actionable strategies to reclaim your time, energy, and ambition.

Who should attend:

Anyone preparing for or navigating their return to work after having children, or supporting someone who is.
