Ep 032 - Beyond Maternity Leave: Tips for Reentering the Workforce

Hello, it's Amanda, and today on "Redefining Motherhood," we're talking about the realities of returning to work after maternity leave. I share the challenges of leaving my little one while managing work responsibilities, giving a shoutout to all the mothers out there juggling work and motherhood. Reflecting on my own experience, I realized the standard 8 weeks of maternity leave weren't enough. Many moms feel the same, except for a few eager to return to work sooner. I openly admit that It would have helped me if I took more time off after having my baby, especially navigating postpartum depression. I also discuss managing mom guilt, emphasizing the importance of self-care post-childbirth. I offer practical tips for re-entering the workforce, like advocating for flexibility and not expecting to be a superhero on day one. I wrap up the episode by highlighting the importance of communication and task-sharing in motherhood. I encourage you to share this episode with any moms who may need to hear this!
