Maternity Returning: How to Get the Career You Deserve.

You may feel conflicting and powerful feelings regarding going back to work after having your baby. And according The NCT our culture seems to be failing to ease the transition for us too:
” It’s hard to understand how we’ve created a culture where women are somehow made to feel ‘greedy’ for wanting both a family and a career. Stylist recently discussed the rise of the power maternity leave where women use their baby break to kickstart a new business. But for those of us who are happy in a salaried job there’s still some worry. A survey by the national Childbirth Trust (NCT) found that one in three women return to work after maternity leave to find their job ‘unrecognisable’ to the one they left, whilst recent figures from a Mumsnet survey found that 84% of mums feel that having children has made it harder to progress in their career, 76% feel less employable since having a child, and 85% believe that UK employers are ‘poor’ when it comes to being family friendly.”
This does not make the best reading! However all is not lost if you have the ability to resolve some of your own conflicts first. 
Women are good at resolving conflicts. Women are good at seeking the help that they need. Women are good at expressing their emotions and drawing their own unique conclusions. So, if nobody will make it easy for us, best we step-up ourselves! 
Beneath all the ‘should & oughts’, you do know what you want, and, if you listen to yourself, you will be able to action this. You will recognise more swiftly when all is not well with you career path, if you have taken the time to hear what your true ambitions are. When you are clear about your vision all the pieces can fall into place much more swiftly than you might imagine.
