One of the most difficult parts of returning to work is worrying about the kids. Not only do moms have to deal with the guilt of temporarily leaving their children, but they also have to make sure that they are well taken cared for when they do so.

Our guest for today, Claire Gavin - transitional life coach and founder of Antares Lifestyle and Wellness Coaching, challenges this mindset! She shares live-saving advice and tips for mothers going back to work.

We also discuss how going back to work gives the little ones the opportunity to be with others like them which is necessary for their development, how it shows that them it's totally normal for mothers, or females in general, to strive career-wise, and why returning to work empowers not only you but the future generation.

Claire is available for international coaching. She uses Zoom to give advice for women who struggle with their motherhood transition. She's also created a three-step problem designed to guide mothers to live more fulfilling lives!
