Returning to Work After Maternity Leave, Burnout, or Illness?

Going Back Doesn’t Have to Feel Like Giving Up Who You Are Now.

Rebuild Confidence, Set Boundaries, and Return to Work With Calm, Clarity, and Control — In Just 5 Gentle Days.

If you're dreading that first day back... unsure how to explain yourself... and worried you won't feel like you anymore — this is for you

You thought you'd be ready

But the date’s on the calendar now… and your stomach’s tight.
You’re trying to feel “normal” again—but the truth is, you’ve changed.
You’ve grown. You’ve healed.
And the thought of stepping back into your old role… the old pace… the old expectations… feels wrong.

You’re not alone.

Whether you’re coming back from maternity leave, mental health leave, long-term illness, or even a career break — most professionals feel an internal panic rising the closer their return date gets.

“Will I still be good at this?”
“What if I burn out again?”
“How do I explain the gaps?”
“Why does this feel like going backwards?”

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to return as who you were.
You get to return as who you are now.

And with the right mindset tools, boundaries, and emotional support—you can walk back in with confidence, calm, and control.

That’s exactly what The First Week Back was created to do.

I Know That Fear. I Lived It.

What if everything’s changed... or worse—what if nothing has?

I created The First Week Back because I’ve been exactly where you are right now.

I remember staring at my calendar, heart racing, knowing that my first day back at work was coming—and feeling completely torn up inside.

After maternity leave, and later again after hitting burnout, the thought of “going back” felt like walking into a storm with no shelter.

I was scared I wouldn’t fit anymore.
Scared the job had evolved without me.
Scared the team had bonded without me.
Scared I was too out of practice to keep up.
Scared that I’d forget how to do basic things, or worse—let everyone down.

And deep down, I was terrified that I’d end up right back where I was before: overworked, overwhelmed, and completely burned out.

“What if things haven’t changed... and I end up crumbling again?”
“But what if things have changed... and I can’t keep up?”

The fear pulled me in both directions.
And through it all, I kept wondering…

Why doesn’t anyone prepare you for this part of returning to work?

We talk about logistics and HR forms.
But not about how it feels to come back.

No one tells you how to navigate the emotional chaos—the doubt, the guilt, the “who even am I anymore?” spiral.

That’s why I built this course.

To offer the support I wish I’d had.
To guide you through the emotional side of returning—with tools that actually help.

To make sure you don’t just return… but you're back!

INTRODUCING: THE FIRST WEEK BACK

A 5-Day Reset for Professionals Returning to Work After Maternity Leave, Illness, Burnout, or Career Breaks

This is not another corporate checklist or HR form.

It’s a gentle, powerful return-to-work reset designed to help you feel like yourself again—without pretending to be the old version of you.

Whether it’s been 3 months, 9 months, or years away, this course meets you where you are—and walks you back into work with calm, clarity, and confidence.

Inside, You’ll Discover…

🌱 The 60% Rule – Why returning at full throttle is a trap… and the simple mindset shift that helps you perform better by doing less
🧠 The Shame Detox Tool – Break free from guilt, “catch-up mode,” or the need to prove yourself on Day One
🗣️ Script Templates – What to say to your manager or team so expectations are aligned (and you don’t overcommit)
💡 Micro-Boundaries That Change Everything – These 5-second resets protect your time, energy, and sanity—without looking “difficult”
✍️ Your Personal Return Plan – A wellbeing agreement you can actually use to avoid overwhelm and burnout (no HR jargon required)
💬 Affirmations that Actually Work – Like: “I am enough—now and always” to calm the inner critic and build real self-trust
🔮 Your Empowered Future Self Visualization – A powerful bonus audio that helps you feel what success looks like before you even return

This is the course that helps you walk in on Day One… and not just survive—but feel steady, supported, and truly ready.

WHY THIS WORKS

Finally—Support That Goes Beyond Phased Hours and Desk Adjustments

Most return-to-work plans only address the physical side of coming back.

You might get a phased schedule. A new desk. Maybe a short meeting with HR.

But what about the emotional rollercoaster?

What about the voice in your head whispering “You’re not ready…”? What about the panic when you open your inbox? What about the fear of being forgotten, or not being good enough anymore?

That’s where The First Week Back is different.

This course addresses the psychological layers that most employers and professionals completely overlook—yet they’re the exact things that determine how well someone re-integrates and performs.

IMAGINE THIS...

It’s your first morning back.

you take a deep breath.

And you feel ready.

Not perfect.

Not over-prepared.

Just calm, grounded, and in control.

You walk into work—not as someone desperate to catch up...

but as someone who knows her value, owns her space, and sets the tone.

Colleagues ask how you are.

And instead of shrinking or rushing to prove yourself,

you smile, take your time, and answer with quiet confidence.

You’re not chasing your old self.

You’re embracing who you’ve become.

You have a plan.

You have boundaries.

You have the tools to reset when stress creeps in.

And best of all—you feel proud of how you’re showing up.

THIS ISN’T JUST A COURSE — IT’S A COMEBACK PLAN.

One That Pays Off in Confidence, Clarity, and Career-Long Resilience.

You don’t want to wing it. You want to return with purpose.

This isn’t a cost. It’s a career safeguard.

ACT NOW. HERE’S WHY:

🕒 Your window to prepare before or during you return is short
🎯 You only get one first week back
💥 You’ll never regret being too prepared

FAIL TO PREPARE, PREPARE TO FAIL

Let’s Handle Any Doubts…

“I don’t have time for this right now.”
You need 60 minutes a day for 5 days. That’s it. And every minute helps ease your return.

“What if I’m already back at work?”
Even better. You’ll apply the tools in real time—and start shifting how you show up immediately.

“Shouldn’t my employer be providing this?”
Yes, ideally. But most don’t. And waiting won’t help you feel ready. Take control now—and share the plan with HR if you like. Why not ask HR if they will reimburse you - they probably will as part of their supporting you back to work.

“What if I’ve been gone too long to fit back in?”
This course was designed exactly for that fear. And it gives you the scripts, boundaries, and mindset to return with self-respect and confidence.

FINAL CALL: YOU’VE GROWN. LET YOUR RETURN REFLECT THAT WITH PRIDE.

You’re not going back to your old job as your old self.

You’re returning as someone wiser, stronger, and more self-aware.

Let The First Week Back help you own that transformation.
