After returning from maternity leave, I was determined to prove nothing had changed. I overworked, overperformed and hid thee fact that I had a life - and a child - outside of work. On paper, it was working. But behind the scenes, it was costing me more than I realised.

In this episode I share:

- What it really looked like to work like I wasn't a mum

- The moment that made me question everything

- The unexpected shift that changed how I show up at work

- Why maternity leave can make you more capable - not less

- How to stop performing and start owning your value

- A practical challenge you can try this week

We also tackle the real concerns - bias, workplace culture, and the motherhood penalty - without sugarcoating them.

If you've ever felt like you need to hide part of yourself to be taken seriously, this episode is for you.
