Introducing: My Journey Back to Work

What happens when we go back to work after parental leave?

At least 100,000s UK parents return to work after parental leave each year. That’s a lot of first days back isn’t it?

How was yours?

  • "Before I had my daughter, work was everything..."
  • "I knew I wanted to take a year off… but with that comes… ?"
  • "There was a real tidal wave of excitement about the industry..."
  • "Where you still have to adapt in your work even 12 years on"
  • "I’d be interested to listen to your podcast and hear what other women have to say…"

What's it like on the inside? And how do our experiences along this path shape what comes next?
