In this episode, we sit down with Michelle Pelletier, COO of a major real estate firm and mom of one, to talk about what no one prepares you for—returning to work after having a baby.

Michelle shares how the transition back to work can actually make you stronger, more focused, and more intentional—if you give yourself permission to embrace your new life. We talk about shifting identity, setting boundaries, letting go of perfection, and how companies can better support moms in the workplace.

Whether you're in the thick of your return or just preparing for that season, this episode is filled with real talk, perspective, and practical advice.
