Longtime maternity coach Morris supports mothers in their transition back to the workplace. The first part of her book details the emotional experiences many women face and fear during their pregnancy: “mommy guilt,” overwhelm, concerns about money and childcare, and worry about change itself, just to name a few. Drawing on her experience in the field, Morris focuses on helping mothers find new perspectives through cognitive reframing. The second half zeroes in on strategies for reconnecting with self by showing women how to crystalize their personal values, make choices that work for them, and effectively communicate those decisions to others. The book concludes with sections on working collaboratively (flow time), ensuring that one gets enough sleep, and managing milestones, such as working on the handover at home and planning a return to one’s day job. The book encourages long-term planning, and there are appendixes that include fillable forms and a list for further reading.
VERDICT A must-have resource for expecting or new working moms. This title is heavy on information about nearly every possible scenario faced by mothers transitioning in and out of the workplace after a pregnancy.
