Returning to work after maternity leave can feel overwhelming.
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 the systemic barriers that can work against returning mothers. From inflexible working cultures to inadequate parental leave policies and childcare gaps.
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.
