"The days are long, but the maternity leave is short..."

Are you feeling anxious as you count down the days of maternity leave?

Burying your head in the sand about returning to work?

Not sure how to treasure today and plan effectively for tomorrow?

Pause. Breathe.

I've created a plan to make this easier on you and your family...

Wouldn’t it be amazing to enjoy your final weeks of maternity leave, relaxing with your baby, whilst feeling confident that you have a practical plan in place to prepare everything you need for your smooth return to work?

Not sure where to start where to start with your work and childcare logistics planning -

and don't want to waste this precious time working it out?

With the 30 Day Baby Steps course, everything is pre-planned and structure for you. You will received one video a day outlining an baby step activity to minimise the anxiety, take action and get you feeling calmer, more confident and in control about the transition to becoming a working mother. Sound good?

Does this sound familiar?

• Feeling unsure or overwhelmed about your return to work?

• Struggling to work out where to start with preparing your home, your family - and even yourself - for the transition?

• Anxious about how you'll juggle everything and unsure what you can be doing now to help your future self, whilst you adjust to working-mother-life in the first weeks back?

• Wishing someone who has already been there - would just hand you a proven, workable plan of what to do and when to do it - so you can go back enjoying this time with your baby?

What if things could be different?

How amazing would it be if ...

you could stop feeling overwhelmed and had a pre-prepared guide to explain what to do each day. Spend more time in your final weeks of maternity leave focusing on enjoying time with your baby and less time worrying about the return to work!

And what if ...

you had access to a tried and tested method created by someone who has been through it herself and coached many new mothers through the transition you are now facing?

And how would you like to ...

be so well organised that you can spend your final day of maternity leave just relaxing with your baby? Allowing you to walk into work feeling calmer, more in control and confident about the transition?

If you’re finding yourself nodding along to all this,

you are not alone…

Hi, I'm Rebecca - founder of CareerMom!

In my case, as my return-to-work date loomed during my first maternity leave, I was surprised (and horrified) to discover how little practical guidance was available to help me prepare mentally, physically and logistically for this huge change.

Having lived through the highs and lows of maternity leave, I remember all too well that feeling of time seeping away. There were months left. Then weeks. And then, finally, I was on the last few days. The burden of leaving my baby hung so heavy about my shoulders, tightened my throat and weighed on my heart. I was projected back to anxious feelings of early pregnancy as nerves - and nausea once again took its grip. I scoured the Internet for a countdown guide or checklist, but only found basic suggestions such as “Be confident!”. I felt exasperated:

“But HOW?

WHAT should I be doing to make myself feel more confident?

I don’t know if I can still do my job, or how I am going to balance everything! My hair is falling out, my body will never be the same and I don’t fit into any of my old work clothes. Or shoes, for that matter.

How am I meant to even try to feel confident

when I don’t know where to start?!”

So, I had to work it out for myself...

and now I want to share what I've learnt, with you.

I have done all of the thinking - so YOU don't have to

^{_{and can focus your energy on enjoying every last day of your maternity leave.}}

FAQs

Do I need a full 30 days before I return to work to complete and benefit from the course?

Although have a 30 day planning window is optimal to maximise the benefits of the course by ensuring that there is plenty of time to undertake tasks without getting overwhelmed...

If you are just a few days away from Mat Leave (or have even recently returned to work and are struggling - but would like help to get back on track) and want to check what else you could be doing to set yourself up for success - then the course can be consumed within a couple of hours.

You can then prioritise which tasks are most important and relevant to the biggest concerns you have in your own personal circumstances.

Who is Rebecca?

Hi, I'm Rebecca - founder of CareerMom! I'm a solo mother to two little girls, a life coach with focus on working women and a corporate management consultant with two decades of experience in solving large, complex problems.

During this time, I have learned that there is no greater challenge, nor steeper learning curve, than successfully balancing family life with young children and a fulfilling career.

And how you transition into that working life really matters! My purpose in this course is to help you have an easier return than I, and millions of others, have had - but guiding you through the preparations.

Is this course intended for mothers in a particular country - who have certain maternity leave laws or policies?

This course was developed in the United Kingdom - but has been designed to be broad enough so that the concepts can apply irrespective of the country you are based in, with the fact that countries have vastly different approaches to maternity leave in mind.

The content does not cover local laws or policies and instead is focused on maximising the impact of those things that you do have in your control wherever you are living such as: successful return to work planning, organisation and mindset.

You can follow the course as presented - or can prioritise and flex your approach to consuming modules and implementing the guidance within your own country and culture, as appropriate.

This isn't my first return to work - will I and my family still benefit from the course?

If you aren't a first time mother and you have already navigated your return to work with a previous baby - then it is likely you will all ready know a lot of what is in the course.

However, we all know how exhausting it can be to be looking after multiple children - and therefore you are likely to find the structure reminders very helpful and ease your return to work, leaving you to focus on your home life through your final weeks of maternity leave.

I struggle with sticking to anything I have tried before, will this help me?

Yes! It is designed to make it as easy as possible for you: short, concise videos or audio files and clear outlines of one, manageable task to take each day

Remember: It is useful to tag one new habit to another to make it stick, so for example making a point of watching the next video / listening to that day's audio as soon as you get up and make the morning drinks, or set a daily alarm on your phone to remind you to listen early in the day.

Why "CareerMom"?

Rebecca uses the word CareerMom to identify the demographic of incredible women who returned to work after having children - and for whom the term Career Woman no longer quite fits, as it doesn't tell the full story of just how amazing she is in her ability to juggle work, home and family commitments.

Fun fact: Rebecca's family is from the Midlands in the UK - where Mom is a common spelling to shorten mother. But the principle applies whether you are a Mother, Mummy, Mum, Mama, Maman... At CareerMom we are in awe of all you do!
