It’s one of the most common fears I hear from mums returning to work.
I remember sitting at my desk after maternity leave, staring at my inbox and thinking,“Do I even remember how to do this?”
It wasn’t that I had lost my skills. It was that I had lost my confidence. My brain had been wired around nappies, night feeds, and nursery runs — not strategy meetings and performance reviews. But what I’ve learned is this: your intelligence doesn’t disappear. It simply shifts. And when you come back, you return not just as an employee, but as a more resilient, intuitive, and efficient version of yourself.
This is exactly why I created HERA — to support women navigating this quiet fear with tools, perspective, and confidence.
You haven’t forgotten your role. You’ve evolved.Let’s build from there.
