A small-group, in-person workshop for moms going back to work after leave. Plan your first 30, 60, and 90 days on purpose.
About this Event

You are rehearsing the conversation with your manager in the shower. You know the pediatrician's number, the daycare pickup rules, and what is in the diaper bag, and nobody ever decided that was your job. You are excited to go back, you are heartbroken to leave your baby, and you cannot say one without the other.

Nothing is wrong with you. This is one of the biggest identity shifts of your life, and almost no one makes it easy. Spend 90 minutes with a small group of Philly moms and walk out with a real plan.

What we will do together:

Check in with yourself. We start with a deep self-check-in: how you are really doing at home, at work, and inside.

At home. Boundaries, an equitable split of the household load, and an if-this-then-that plan for the hard mornings.

At work. Feeding and pumping, boundaries, communication with your manager, and setting expectations.

Your plan. We finish by writing your 30-60-90 day plan, with one next step sized for real life.

You leave with a written 30-60-90 day plan, language for the conversation you have been dreading, and one thing to do tomorrow. There is nothing to bring. You do not need to be back at work yet; planning ahead is welcome.

What mothers say about Empower Your Return:

"This is everything I wish I had had when I transitioned back to work after my first kid. Thank gosh I have it now for my second!" Susie, project manager, new mom

"I don't know what I would have done without this guide. It helped me become aware of so many future complications (...), so my husband and I could go through the reflections, have thoughtful and productive conversations, and make an equitable plan together. So great." Erica, architect, new mom

Led by Coral Edwards, a Philadelphia mom of two and ICF-PCC credentialed coach, founder of IMHMO. I went back to work at twelve weeks with a plan I made up. This is the workshop I wish someone had handed me.

Seats are limited to 18 so the group stays small and you can actually be heard.

Ticket options: the workshop alone; the workshop plus the printed 42-page Empower Your Return field guide; or the Return-to-Work Circle, which includes the workshop and field guide plus six months of twice-monthly small-group Zoom office hours and the digital course.
