You’re barely surviving most days, and now someone expects you to show up like your old self at work? Let’s be honest — returning to work after losing your baby is one of the hardest, most disorienting parts of life after loss. And it’s not just about grief — it’s about identity, exhaustion, pressure, and a complete reshuffling of what matters.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real and raw truths about what it’s like to return to work after stillbirth — from my own experience as a hairstylist to the stories I hear every day from the moms I coach.

We’ll talk about the pressure to go back before you're ready, the guilt for not wanting the same career anymore, and why this transition is about so much more than just showing up for a paycheck.

You’ll walk away with real tools for checking in with yourself, setting boundaries at work, and making this transition on your own terms — even if the world is telling you to "get back to normal."

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How to know if you’re truly ready to return to work
• Practical ways to ease back in (and how to ask for them)
• Scripts to handle coworkers’ questions or insensitive comments
• Why it’s okay if your career no longer fits — and what to do about it
• What 30% of women do differently after loss — and why you might too
• How to protect your energy and emotional bandwidth at work
