The Empowered Back-to-Work Mom

Reclaim your professional identity — and return with the confidence you’ve earned.

You haven’t been ‘out of work’. You’ve been running one of the most complex, high-stakes operations there is: a family. Time management, logistics, emotional intelligence, negotiation, budgeting, and advocacy - all critical executive skills.

And yet, the world often overlooks that. When women return to the workforce after years of full-time caregiving, we’re met with doubt. Not about our capabilities, but about our currency.

The Empowered Back-to-Work Mom helps you close that perception gap and gives you the language, strategy, and confidence to show up as the leader you already are.

Karen
