Becoming a mother changes your priorities, confidence, identity and capacity, then you’re expected to walk back into work, remember your passwords and carry on as though nothing enormous has happened.
I’m Michelle, a mom of two preparing to make this transition again. I created Reborn & Returning because I found plenty of advice when having a baby but far less honest support when you have to transition back to work.
This is a space for practical tools, honest conversations and realistic support around childcare drop-offs, mom guilt, confidence, mental load and finding your feet at work again.
You don’t have to choose between loving your child and wanting something for yourself. You’re allowed to feel grateful, devastated, excited, anxious and completely unsure all at once.
