Are you feeling:

  • Unsure of where to even begin?
  • Afraid you’ve lost skills or don’t have anything valuable to offer anymore?
  • Afraid that you might choose the wrong path?
  • Overwhelmed by where the workplace even IS now compared to when you left?
  • Nervous about explaining your career "gap"?
  • Worried you won't be able to get an interview?
Maybe you’ve thought about updating your résumé, looked at job listings, or started researching what’s out there—but it still feels confusing to know where to begin or which direction makes the most sense.

The solution is simpler than you think.

Angela had spent 12 years raising three kids.

When her youngest started high school, she finally felt the nudge that it was her turn again—but she had no idea where to begin.

Every time she opened her résumé, she froze.
Her inner voice whispered:
“Who am I outside of motherhood now?”

She wasn’t ready to apply yet.
She didn’t even know what direction she wanted.

Inside RETURN, Angela didn’t have to figure it all out at once. She started by reconnecting to her strengths, identifying what she actually enjoyed, and seeing how her experience still mattered.

Within a few weeks, she wasn’t panicked anymore — she was curious.

She finally felt possibility again, and that tiny feeling was enough to move her forward.

My years at home weren’t a gap at all. They became my most valuable experience.

—Angela

I know what this feels like—because I’ve been where you are, too.


I had to return to the workforce after an 18-year career gap.  I applied to 88 jobs and didn’t get a single reply.

The silence chipped away at my confidence.

I knew I had the drive, the discipline, the problem-solving—but none of it seemed to “count.”

What I eventually realized is that it did count. I just needed to bridge the gap between what I’d done and how employers understood it.

That’s what RETURN helps women do every day.

The Truth Most Mothers Returning to Work Don't Understand

 

When you're thinking about getting back into the workforce, it's easy to get stuck overthinking the next step--wondering if your experience still matters or if the right opportunity will ever show up.

But the truth? Clarity doesn’t come before you start—it comes because you start.

It’s not your time away that’s holding you back.  It’s the story you tell yourself about what that time means. Every year you spent managing, organizing, creating, and showing up still counts—it just needs to be translated into job skills.

And the good news? That’s exactly what RETURN helps you do.

You already have the experience. Now, it’s time to use it.
