The tapestry of life is woven with ups and downs, rough with smooth, joy and sorrow. A wobble shows you care and that you want to find the right balance for those you love and those who rely on you at work. This you will do magnificently.

This was great Georgina. So much resonated with me. Going back to work will be a transition for sure, but I hope it’s as seamless as possible. And I agree, having something that’s just yours is crucial always ❤️

It feels impossible to imagine leaving them, doesn’t it? But one day you’ll be running up an escalator, hot coffee in hand, wearing clothes that haven't been pawed at by sticky fingers, and you’ll realise you’ve missed that freedom and independence of your old life as well. And maybe that’s what motherhood will be for a few years - a constant tug between missing your child and missing yourself.

The in-between is so much harder than the here-or-there! The transition between maternity leave and going back to work is such a powerful time. You’re giving your past and future self such a gift by paying attention to all that it holds!!

Thank you, what a nice way to look at it. It wouldn’t be such a wonderful journey if it didn’t have these moments in it!

Georgina! Every word, I felt it all. You brought me back to my own end-of-mat leave era and reminded me why I still cling to this space today. I'm so glad we're both here. 💚
