From Leave to Launch: Becoming The Working Mom

Life as a new parent is often a time filled with challenges, firsts, and new beginnings. Navigating your new identity, learning a new schedule, creating a support system that meets your needs, all while trying to learn about your baby and their needs. Just when it feels like you have gotten into a good routine and figured out this new normal, your maternity leave is up and it’s time to head back to work. The navigation of a new normal begins all over again. 

You might be left wondering: 

• How do I leave my baby with people I just met?

• How will I balance being a working professional and a parent at the same time? 

• How will I keep the bond with my baby if we won’t be spending as much time together? 

• Will I ever recognize my body again? 

We created From Leave to Launch to help bring more clarity to all of these questions. Supported by a team of Registered Counsellors, a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, and a Pelvic Floor Specialist. Over six weeks we will explore the parts of this transition that still feel unclear:

• Your changing identity 

• Your and your baby’s nervous system 

• Reconnecting with your body after birth 

• Preparing for daycare 

All while being part of a community who understands what you are going through and is right there with you.
