In Beastdad 11, it’s another solo episode!  Mike outlines his experiences in Returning to Work following parental leave.  If you’re a dude thinking about parental leave, there’s a lot more to consider than just the finances - that’s for sure.  Even though more men are taking parental leave, there’s a lot to navigate.  Changes in your work portfolio, changes in your working relationships, changes in your home life.  Man - there’s a lot to consider.   Some parents are so unfortunate that they return to a hostile workplace that resents them for taking a “vacation”.   Even if your workplace shows visible corporate support for parents taking leave and “work/life balance”,  how it plays out in reality can be quite different.  If you’re thinking about taking parental leave - or getting ready to return from one - we hope this one helps you prepare!  Shout at us at [email protected] or connect with us @beastdadmode on “the instagram”!
