Returning to work- Your new found leadership

Hey Mama… Did You Know You’re Returning to Work as a Fully Competent Leader?

Yes, that’s right, you heard me.

Whether you’re stepping back into your corporate role, restarting your business, or trying to figure out what next, you’re not “just going back to work.” You’re returning as a leader and not because of your job title, but because of who you’ve become.

You may not feel like a leader right now. You might feel exhausted, unsure, or overwhelmed. But the truth is…

You’ve been leading since the moment you started growing your baby.

From those early weeks of pregnancy the emotional shifts, the decisions you had to make, the way you adapted to changes in your body, your life, your routines… all of that was leadership.

You navigated uncertainty. You listened to your instincts.
You kept showing up, even when you didn’t feel like yourself.
You managed work, home, responsibilities and change all while growing a human.

And then came the sleepless nights. The decisions around feeding, naps, childcare, routines. The daily multitasking that would put most CEOs to shame.

Whether you're doing this for the first time or adding to a growing family, the truth is the same:

✨ You have been flexible,adjusting plans on the fly, responding to the unexpected.
✨ You have been adaptable ,rolling with challenges, pivoting when life threw curveballs.
✨ You have been resilient  waking up after broken sleep and still showing up.
✨ You have been emotionally intelligent attuned to your baby’s needs and learning to regulate your own emotions in the process.
✨ You have been decisive  navigating feeds, routines, doctors' appointments, development leaps, and family dynamics.
✨ You have created psychological safety  building a world where your child feels loved, secure, and seen.

Whether you’re returning to a leadership role or not, managing a team or not ,you already have the skillset. You’ve been leading. Through pregnancy, motherhood, and the juggle of it all. That’s competence. That’s leadership. Own it. 💪

Now tell me that isn’t leadership.
