Dear Anxious Working Mom

Here’s how it begins:

Dear Anxious Working Mom Going Back to Work,

I wish I could give you the gift of hindsight and the peace it brings, but I can’t. Yet I will tell you what I wish I had known 10 years ago when I went back to work after having my baby…

It’s the start of a letter I wrote to fellow working moms I’ve seen going back to work after having a baby. It was inspired by my own experience and also the Good Mother Project’s theme for November, “It takes a village.” Indeed, there is nothing like going back to work after having a baby that makes you crave, create, and cling to your village!

The entire letter is running on The Good Mother Project. What’s The Good Mother Project? It’s a cozy online community of mothers sharing the realities of motherhood with honesty, bravery, and heart. It’s as awesome as it sounds.

I’d be honored if you visited, commented and shared.

Thanks dear readers!
