EPISODE 12: The Return: Navigating Work After Maternity Leave

🎧 Smart, Successful and Stressed Mums with Jazmin Pursell

Episode 12 is the first of a four-part series called Career Crossroads. We're diving deep into career transitions that many working mums face. These topics come up all the time—whether with my coaching clients or chatting with friends and family. And I can’t wait to unpack them with you.

I’ll be sharing insights, lessons I’ve learned the hard way, and hopefully a few things that might make your own career transitions smoother.

Today’s focus: returning to work after maternity leave—an incredibly significant and sometimes daunting milestone.

Because this topic is so important, it actually deserves its own masterclass.

🎓 Masterclass Alert
I’ve created a masterclass you can register for—Reclaiming You: Redefining Your Career Identity After Motherhood.
Once registered, you’ll get the recording link (which doesn’t expire), plus a free Reflection Workbook to help you move through this transition with more clarity and confidence. You’ll find the link to register in the show notes.

So to recap, here are some of the key tips:

1. Work out your timing for returning—what’s right for you.

2. Put time-saving hacks in place before going back.

3. Get clear on your support network—paid and unpaid.

4. Talk logistics with your partner—don’t assume they know.

5. Reconnect with your workplace if possible, even before returning.

If this resonated with you, and you want to go deeper into redefining your career identity after motherhood, please register for my free masterclass. You’ll find the link in the show notes.

Thank you so much for listening to part one of the Career Crossroads mini series. I can’t wait to share the next episodes with you.
