Between Meetings & Motherhood

What I Wish My Boss Had Asked After Leave


Listen Later

The first one-on-one after leave.
A full calendar. A forced smile. A quiet hope that someone—anyone—would ask how I was really doing.

But no one did.

In this episode, I’m sharing the conversation I wish I’d had—and the questions every manager needs to ask a returning parent.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why “How’s the baby?” isn’t enough

  • The emotional cost of reentry silence

  • The exact questions I now teach leaders to ask

Whether you’re returning to work or leading someone who is, this episode will shift how you see the first 90 days—and why it’s never just about logistics.
