A Self-Awareness Guide for Mothers Re-Entering the Workforce.

When Ana returned to work after maternity leave, she kept losing things: her laptop charger, her train of thought, her patience. She told me, “I don’t feel like myself anymore. It’s like my brain rewired itself.” She wasn’t wrong. And she wasn’t alone. “Mom brain” is scientifically real, but what most women don’t realize is that identity change is just as real, and just as powerful.

Despite being highly experienced, Ahmed found himself working survival jobs in Canada while his résumés led nowhere. Through Enneagram coaching, we reframed his experience as a transition and rebuilt his narrative confidence.
