Anxious. A bit excited.
Guilty for feeling either.
If that's you right now, you're not broken and you're not alone. Most people go back with a childcare plan and not a lot else. No plan for how you'll feel walking back in, no plan for the manager conversation, and no plan for how you'll keep your career moving. Just a date in the calendar and hoping it works itself out.

FROM PEOPLE GOING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW
"It's helping me feel "I can," and not only that, that I have strengths to contribute as a result of being a mum"
ABOUT NATASHA
I've been exactly where you are.
I'm Natasha, a Chartered Surveyor (MRICS) and mum of two. I'm back in a senior corporate real estate role three days a week, and I built Maternity Mentor because the support I needed simply didn't exist.
I know what it's like to love your career and feel terrified of losing it. To worry about being seen differently. To have no idea how to have the conversation with your manager.
Everything I create is practical, honest and grounded in real experience.
