Coaching for parents navigating work, identity, and life after welcoming a child

Becoming a parent reshapes your world — and returning to work brings its own mix of excitement, uncertainty, and change. You may feel a shift in your sense of identity, wonder how your career fits into this new chapter, or find yourself renegotiating boundaries, confidence, and belonging at work.

These transitions are profound, and you don’t need to navigate them alone.

inWorkingParent coaching creates a space where you can explore who you are becoming — as a parent and as a professional — with clarity, compassion, and support. Whether you’re preparing to return to work, already back and finding your rhythm, or simply craving a steadier balance between your career and your growing family, this is a space designed for you.
Together, we look at your needs, your values, your energy, and the wider system around you — your child, your partner, your team — so you can move forward with intention and confidence.
