@quietfacelessmom: What nobody tells you about the gap between financially needing to go back to work and emotionally not being ready - and why I started building something. It arrives on ordinary days. Not dramatic ones. Just a Sunday afternoon when both things are true at the same time and there is nowhere to put it. I started building this because I did not want December to be the thing that decided it for me. I wanted to at least try to close that gap myself. Save this for the days maternity leave feels too heavy. Follow along if you are living in it too. 💜 The emotional reality of maternity leave ending - financially needing to go back and emotionally not being ready.
