Returning to work after babies isn’t the empowering “hot coffee and adult conversations” moment we were promised. It’s more like an emotional triathlon - guilt, logistics, identity shifts and a workplace that still thinks you’re the same person you were before birth… cute.
In this episode, we get honest about the messy, lonely, hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking reality of going back to work as a mum. We share our own return-to-work stories, the data behind the motherhood penalty, why confidence takes such a hit, how matrescence changes everything, and what workplaces actually need to do so mothers stop walking out.
Plus our Shit Tip of the Week, a camping mishap, manifested Oasis tickets, and why snacks might just save your career.
If you’re returning, thinking about returning, or still crying in the bathroom at work... this one’s for you. Join us, and come feel less alone.
