What this session covers
Returning to work after having a baby is more than a logistical transition. For many parents, it’s also a shift in identity, priorities, and expectations.
While much of the preparation focuses on practical details like childcare, feeding schedules, or sleep, the emotional and mental adjustment of holding multiple roles at once—parent, professional, partner, and individual can feel unexpectedly complex.
In this live class and conversation, Licensed Perinatal Therapist and Coach Priya Rednam Waldo will guide parents through the psychological and practical realities of returning to work after baby.
Together, we’ll explore how becoming a parent reshapes identity, why balance often feels difficult during this stage, and how boundaries can support both family life and professional responsibilities.
In this session, we’ll cover:
The emotional and psychological shift that often happens when parents return to work
Why the idea of “balance” frequently changes after becoming a parent
How to set sustainable boundaries at work and at home
Practical strategies for protecting your time, energy, and mental load
Ways to stay connected to yourself while caring for a growing family
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the return-to-work transition and practical tools to navigate it with greater clarity and intention.
This class is designed for parents preparing to return to work after parental leave or adjusting to life as a working parent during the first year after baby.
