Back to life, back to a new reality: returning to paid work after mat leave
It’s a big season of change over here—after 13 months off of work, Kasandra’s wrapping up mat leave and heading back to paid work. That means 2 kids in daycare, 2 parents working full time… can we do this?
We don’t know yet! But in this episode, we’ll talk about closing this chapter (pour one out, a bottle my baby never took preferably), what we’ve done to prepare for this new one, and of course—how we’re feeling about it all.
In this episode, we talk about:
Starting a baby at daycare and how we did the transition
Setting up our household for two parents working (the practical prep we did, but also the emotional prep)
Our current daily routines—how we plan to make work work
Reflecting on maternity leave and what’s to come in this new phase of life
The first day back at work after over a year away (first-day jitters and a year's worth of Sunday scaries!)
Trying to remember how to do your job after living a completely different life for over a year
How both parents at paid full-time work impacts family dynamics (eg., am I still the default parent?)
