In this Shortcuts episode of Storytellers: Journeys, host Bernadette Hill shares a practical, confidence-building insight inspired by returner and people leader Priya Venkatesan.

Returning to work after a long career break can feel overwhelming — especially for women navigating identity, caregiving transitions, cultural expectations, or major life shifts. This micro-lesson introduces the power of iRelaunch and similar return-to-work programs, along with the mindset shift that helps women move from hesitation to courage.

Whether you’re relaunching your own career or supporting someone who is, this Shortcut offers clarity, direction, and gentle encouragement to take your next step with confidence.

Topics in this episode:

• What “relaunching” really means for women returning to work

• The mindset shift that supports confidence and clarity

• How programs like iRelaunch open doors and rebuild networks

• Why career breaks do not diminish your value

• Micro-steps to begin again
