Going Back to Work After Baby: Daycare, Mom Guilt & Finding Balance

Описание: No one tells you how emotional it is to go back to work after having a baby - the daycare drop-offs, the mom guilt, the exhaustion, and the identity crisis that hits when you try to “be both.”

In this episode, Amanda & Jessie get brutally honest about the reality of returning to work after maternity leave — the guilt, the grief, the chaos, and the tiny wins that keep you going.

We talk about:
💭 How to mentally prepare for going back to work
🏫 The daycare transition (and the sicknesses that come with it)
💼 Setting boundaries with work, bosses & baby brain
💔 Handling mom guilt and the grief of leaving maternity leave behind
🛠️ Survival tips for those first few weeks back
