Reentry, Not Restart
A grounded guide for experienced women returning to work without shrinking themselves
This guide is for women who:
Are reentering the workforce after disruption, transition, or time away
Are “new” in a role but not new to leadership or complexity
Feel underestimated, overqualified, or quietly sidelined
Work in male-dominated environments where experience is not always recognized
Notice subtle self-doubt creeping in where confidence once lived
If you’ve thought, Why does this feel harder than it should?
Nothing is wrong with you.
