You're not the same person who left for maternity leave. Your career shouldn't pretend you are.
You spent the last year keeping a tiny human alive, and now you're supposed to just walk back into your old job like nothing happened. It hasn't. And you shouldn't have to pretend it did.

Is This You?
Let's be honest about who this is for
This is for you if
You're a few months from the end of leave and still haven't decided anything
You loved parts of your old job and dreaded others, and can't untangle which is which anymore
You've searched "career change after baby" at 2am more than once
You want someone to help you think it through, not just cheer you on
You're ready to actually decide, not just keep turning it over in your head
This isn't for you if
You've already decided to go back exactly as before, and just want a pep talk
You're looking for a workbook or a course, not a person who asks hard questions
You're not planning to return to work right now, that's a different, valid path
You want someone to tell you what to do instead of helping you decide for yourself

Meet Elin
I didn't want to just survive the comeback. I wanted to choose it.
I spent eleven years in brand marketing, including the year I came back from leave holding my son in one arm and someone else's crisis in the other, both of them nonstop. I made it work through sheer stubbornness. Then I did it again after my daughter, and that time I didn't want to just get through it. I wanted to actually decide.
That's the work I do now: sitting with people through the part nobody prepares you for, the part between "leave" and "back," where you're allowed to ask what you actually want.

What Clients Say
Real words, from real comebacks
"I came in for one call because I couldn't decide anything anymore. I left with an actual plan, not just less anxiety."
Marit, back after 14 months of leave
"Elin didn't try to talk me into going back. She helped me admit I didn't want to."
Sofia, now runs her own studio
"I didn't need a cheerleader. I needed someone to ask the question I kept avoiding."
Ingrid, marketing lead
"Three months in, I stopped feeling guilty about wanting something different."
Live, product manager
Ready When You Are
You don't have to have this figured out alone.
One call is enough to start. No pressure to sign up for anything else, and no judgment for whatever you're leaning toward.

What if I haven't decided anything yet?+
That's exactly who this is for. You don't need a plan to book a call, you need the call to help you build one.
Do I need to already know what I want?+
No. Most people start without knowing. Figuring that out together is the actual work.
What if I decide I want to go back to my old job, exactly as it was?+
Then that's the answer, and it's a good one, as long as it's actually yours and not just the default. We'll get you there either way.
How is this different from therapy?+
Therapy often looks back to understand. This looks forward, toward a specific decision, with a specific timeline. Some people do both.
I've already been back for months and still feel stuck. Is it too late?+
Not at all. A lot of clients start here, months in, once the "just push through it" approach stops working.
How long before I see results?+
Most people leave the first call with real clarity. Actual decisions usually take a few weeks of sitting with it, not months.
