Returning to Work with Confidence & Clarity

Returning to work after having a baby is about more than childcare and logistics. You're returning as someone who has changed, and that can bring questions about confidence, identity, guilt, ambition and how to make work and family life feel sustainable.

This practical and supportive workshop will help you better understand the transition back into paid work as a mother, navigate common challenges with greater confidence and clarity, and begin creating a return to work that reflects what matters most to you. You'll have space to reflect, ask questions and learn alongside other mothers navigating the same season.

You'll leave with:

•  A better understanding of yourself and the transition you're navigating.
• Greater confidence in the strengths you bring back to work.
• Practical strategies for managing the realities of returning to work.
• Greater clarity about what matters most to you in this season.
• A workbook with practical exercises and resources to support your return to work.
• Time to begin mapping out a return to work that feels sustainable for you and your family.
• A chance to connect with other mothers who understand this season of life.

Your ticket includes:

• A 2-hour interactive workshop
• A practical workbook 
• Morning tea
• A Sarina Russo goodie bag
• Investment: $60 per person or bring a friend for $90.
