Hey Reader
You’ve found the job. You’re back to work.
But suddenly the hard part isn’t the job itself; it’s everything that happens around it.
The logistics. The mental load. The child care which turns into the constant shuffle of who’s dropping off, who's picking up, who’s staying home, who’s sick this time.
In our latest episode of Back to Work - Childcare Real Talk: What No One Talks About When You're Going Back to Work Angie and I get real about what life looks like after you’ve re-entered the workforce:
➡️ Childcare chaos. Finding someone you trust, juggling waitlists, and paying more than you make some weeks.
➡️ Split schedules. When you and your partner are ships passing in the night and your relationship feels it.
➡️ Sick days and snow days. Because “full-time school” doesn’t mean full-time coverage.
➡️ The guilt and exhaustion that no one warns you about.
Here’s the truth. You’re not failing. You’re navigating one of the hardest transitions there is.
So let’s name it and normalize it. Because once we stop pretending it’s easy, we can start building systems and supports that actually work.
You’re doing better than you think.
In your corner, always,
Carrie
