Episode Synopsis

In the very first episode of Back to YOU, I sit down with Sindhu Nandhakumar, a strategic partnerships manager, journalist, and new mom, to talk about the highs and lows of returning to work after maternity leave.Sindhu shares:The identity shift she faced when recognition at work stopped during pregnancy.The invisible bias that shows up when people assume you can’t perform at the same level anymore.How she learned to set stronger boundaries and stop people-pleasing.Why visibility, allyship, and asking for the right opportunities matter so much for moms coming back to work.It’s a raw, honest, and inspiring conversation about rebuilding confidence, reshaping ambition, and remembering that motherhood doesn’t make you “less” at work, it makes you stronger.🎧 Listen now and join the conversation.
