As your maternity leave comes to an end, remember you’re not the person you were before. Your hormones are different, your days are fuller, and you’re juggling more than anyone can see from the outside. That’s not a flaw. That’s just true.
If the anxiety about going back to work after maternity leave feels like one huge, overwhelming thing, try breaking it down instead, the drop-off, the first meeting back, the school run, the evenings. Each piece is manageable on its own, even when they feel impossible stacked together.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to take it one piece at a time.
