Anxious. A bit excited.
Guilty for feeling either.
If that's you right now, you're not broken and you're not alone.
Most people go back with a childcare plan and not a lot else.
No plan for how you'll feel walking back in, no plan for the
manager conversation or how you will maintain your career.
Just a date in a calendar and a hoping it works itself out.

GUIDE
The Parental Leave
Playbook+
My annual guidebook covering pregnancy, leave and the return in plain English. Updated every year so you're never working off old rules.
£14
Your best people don't leave during maternity leave.
They leave in the year after.
85% of UK employers now offer 12+weeks of full maternity pay.
Only half of parents say their return was actually easy. The
policy was never the problem, the ecosystem around it is.
Support it not a wellness perk. It's good for business.
Training Programme
The Confident Return Programme
Structured return to work training for your employees, with optional (recommended!) line manager sessions built in. Three tiers depending on level of support you require.

FROM PEOPLE GOING THROUGH IT RIGHT NOW
"It's helping me feel "I can," and not only that, that I have strengths to contribute as a result of being a mum"
ABOUT NATASHA
I've been exactly where you are.
I'm Natasha - a Chartered Surveyor currently on my second maternity leave, returning to corporate employment in August 2026. I built Maternity Mentor because the support I needed simply didn't exist.
I know what it's like to love your career and feel terrified of losing it. To worry about being session differently. To have no idea how to have the conversation with your manager.
Everything I create is practical, honest and grounded in real experience.
