Returning to Work: A Rollercoaster of Emotions


Listen Later

Going back to work after maternity leave can feel big with one child… let alone three.


In this week’s episode, Ellie shares the very real emotions she’s sitting with as she prepares to return to full-time work next month with a 4-year-old, a 2-year-old and a baby not yet six months old.


It’s a classic “two things can be true” season - excitement and anxiety, guilt and gratitude, ambition and overwhelm. We talk honestly about the mental load, the anticipation of the juggle, and what it means to step back into work while still holding so much at home.


If you’re in this season or remember it clearly, this one will feel familiar. 💛
