That's what I do."Topics IncludeNavigating those "Returning to Work" wardrobe worriesDropping the "Bad Mother" Guilt-FestTips on how to pace yourself in the first weeks back at workSetting precedents for your work/life balanceHow to "stay calm and carry on"Work it Baby, Work it! – Tips on how to make every minute count!Dealing with Emergencies
