Returning To Work After Maternity Leave: Advice On Motherhood, Career & Confidence

In this episode of SheerLuxe Conversations, the team explores the emotional and practical realities of returning to work after maternity leave – a milestone so many parents can relate to. Sarah Templeman (Hodge) is joined by SheerLuxe’s fashion and creative director, Lu Hough, and mother of two and founder of My Bump Pay, Tobi Asare, to share their honest experiences, thoughtful advice and empowering tips for navigating this life transition. From the excitement of getting back into a routine to the guilt and uncertainty that can come with it, Lu and Tobi open up about finding balance, asking for help and redefining what success looks like as a working parent. They also discuss the power of fashion and personal style in helping to rediscover your confidence – plus, the joy of dressing up for work after maternity leave. Whether you’re preparing to return to work or supporting someone who is, this episode is a timely reminder that you’re not alone – and that kindness, confidence and community go a long way.
