Listen "How to Reclaim Your Identity in Motherhood When Returning to Work"
Episode Synopsis
Returning to work after maternity leave can feel like stepping into a whole new world - one where your values, identity, and confidence may feel completely different from before you left. You may look the same on the outside, but on the inside, you feel like a new person.
I chat with Sarah Gibbins, a leadership coach, HR expert, and mum of four, to explore the unspoken truths of navigating career, identity shift, mum guilt, and motherhood.
We dive into:
The identity shift women experience after becoming mothers
Why guilt and “shoulds” weigh so heavily on working mums, and how to let them go
The truth about confidence after kids and how to rebuild it step by step
Why “balance” is a myth and what to focus on instead
How to navigate the return-to-work transition with more confidence and self-belief
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not the same person anymore… and I don’t know who I am now” — this conversation is for you.
