Navigating Work After Baby: Letting Go of Old Expectations
They say you’ll “bounce back” after having a baby, but what if it’s not that easy? Should we really hold the expectation that we’ll return to who we used to be? Motherhood doesn’t just change your life—it transforms who you are. In this episode of Behind the Fold, I get real about the messy, beautiful transition into working motherhood again. With baby number two just weeks away, I’m sharing what’s on my heart: the fears, the shifts, and the hard-won lessons I’ve learned from doing this before. This isn’t just about coping strategies for returning to work, it’s about returning to yourself in a whole new way.
In this episode, I share:
- 00:52 - How I’m preparing for baby number two with more self-compassion and fewer rigid expectations than I had during my first mat leave.
- 05:29 - Why switching between “mom mode” and “work mode” is so hard and what I’m doing to create smoother transitions in my day.
- 17:54 - My favorite tools and boundaries to avoid burnout and stay sane.
- 26:10 - Redefining productivity and success in a new season and what success looks like to me right now.
