Identity After Motherhood: Returning to Work with Confidence and Clarity

Returning to work after a career break is tricky.

Firstly, you may find yourself confused about where to start. Every job description feels like a mountain to climb. Then you may find yourself lacking confidence. Everything felt familiar yet alien, and you worry about the lack of practice.

Recent research has shown that nearly half of UK job seekers now have a gap on their CVs.In fact, in 2025, 24% of UK job seekers had a career gap of a year or more, up from 18% in 2020. Bringing up children or caring for relatives is one of the most common reasons for taking a career break, with mothers being a key population within the group.

If you are a mother looking to return to work, join us, Summie Yeung and Sanjukta Mitra Sethu, on this online workshop on the topic of “Identity After Motherhood: Returning to Work with Confidence and Clarity” on Friday 12th Dec 12-1pm.

We are two ICF-accredited Life and Career Coaches who are passionate about working with people in career transition, particularly mothers, as we have been there before as mothers. Together, we bring you more than two decades of experience in our own careers in corporate and business, alongside our coaching expertise, to facilitate a much-needed conversation on the subject.

Expect to take away the following from our online workshop:

• Conversations in a trusted space to help you gain clarity on your multiple identities
• Reflective questions that would enable you to feel more confident about your “why”s in work
• Access to resources and insights that empower you to be more confident in this crucial life transition

Register early to avoid disappointment as places are limited.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
