Reconnect & Integrate: Working Parents
Returning to work after having a baby isn’t just a schedule change—it can shift how you experience yourself.
Even if things look “fine” on the outside, you might feel different on the inside in ways that are hard to explain.
You might notice:
You feel like you’re constantly switching between “work you” and “home you”
Work tasks that used to feel manageable now feel emotionally heavy or draining
You’re more forgetful, scattered, or mentally overloaded than before
You feel guilt no matter where your attention is—work or home
You miss yourself, but can’t quite name what’s missing
You feel like you’re never fully present anywhere
You’re “functioning,” but it takes everything you have just to keep up
You feel more irritable, sensitive, or overwhelmed than you used to
You struggle to transition between roles without feeling depleted
You find yourself thinking, “I’m not doing enough in either place”
Start your journey today — whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum, or reflecting on your evolving identity, there’s a clear path for you.
