Welcome to the very first episode of CoastRise Returnee — the podcast for career returners ready to relaunch with clarity and purpose.

In this episode, we’re talking about something almost every returner experiences but few openly discuss: the confidence dip.

If you’ve been doubting your skills or feeling like you’ve fallen behind, this episode is for you.
