Coming Back to Myself After Maternity Leave

What I thought I’d lost – and what I found instead

For a while, I wasn’t sure I’d go back.

Not because I didn’t care. But because I couldn’t feel it.

The passion. The spark. The part of me that used to light up on client calls, that could see exactly where someone was stuck and help them move again – I couldn’t imagine accessing that energy, let alone channelling it into coaching.

Nine months into motherhood, things are different.
Not easier. But clearer.

And it turns out, my work wasn’t gone.
It was just buried – under hormones, exhaustion, and a whole new identity I didn’t know how to hold yet.
