My Maternity Coach
Helping women and organisations navigate maternity leave and return to work
The Reality
Returning to work after maternity leave is one of the most significant and high-risk career transitions.
For many women, confidence drops, guilt increases and their sense of professional identity shifts, even in roles they previously thrived in. Without structured support, this transition often leads to disengagement, reduced performance and, in many cases, resignation.
For organisations, this is one of the most common and costly points of female attrition. When maternity return support focuses only on policy and process, valuable talent is lost, recruitment and retraining costs increase and future leaders quietly leave.
With the right support at the right time, maternity leave becomes not a risk, but a powerful opportunity to retain, re-engage and develop experienced female talent.
