She Wished There Were a Course for "How to Go Back to Work After Baby"...So She Created One
I always knew I wanted to continue to work after having children, but when I went back full-time after my first and then second child, I found myself in tears on the kitchen floor more often than I'd like to admit. There were courses out there on every baby-related subject imaginable, but nothing about how to manage the professional and identity-shift to "working parenthood." A risk-averse lawyer by nature, my first inclination was absolutely not to start a company to solve this problem. But I felt so passionately about supporting new parents in this challenging time that I decided to give it a try, and in 2014, Mindful Return was born.
