You Just Need Your Next Step.]]></title><description><![CDATA[The belief that before we make a decision, change direction, or begin something new, we should first have the entire plan figured out. We wait for certainty. We tell ourselves that once we know exactly what we want, the next step will become obvious. That one day we'll wake up with complete clarity, a detailed roadmap, and the confidence to move forward without hesitation. It's an appealing idea.

"Why does this feel so hard?" From the outside, everything may appear to be falling back into place. The childcare arrangements are organized, the laptop is open again, meetings are back in the diary, and colleagues have welcomed you back. Life is moving forward. And yet, underneath the practicalities, there can be a quiet sense of...]]></description><link>https://www.groundwaycoaching.com/post/returning-to-work-after-children-why-it-feels-harder-than-you-expected</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a28083257d70dac9796da8f</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Jun 2026 12:38:52 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_0ecfde90dd744b698eb892c9bd7b6a8e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Liliana Saraiva</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Life Looks Fine on Paper But Doesn't Feel Right]]></title><description><![CDATA[There are moments in life when nothing appears to be wrong, yet something doesn't feel quite right. You may be doing well at work. Your relationships may be stable. The things you've spent years building are largely in place. From the outside, life looks successful, or at the very least, exactly as it should. And yet there can be a quiet feeling that's harder to explain. Not unhappiness. Not crisis.

Many women find themselves struggling to go back to work after maternity, not just because of practical challenges but because their sense of self has shifted. The idea of returning to who we were before having a child can feel impossible, and that pressure often leads to frustration and guilt. Instead of trying to fit into an old mold, it helps to understand matrescence—the profound transformation women experience as they become mothers—and embrace the new...]]></description><link>https://www.groundwaycoaching.com/post/embracing-matrescence-redefining-our-identities-after-maternity</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a1dda6e43a3e299a4b480b1</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 19:17:37 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/e8e7cb_f3324db37c5c48809dd92aee7ee74409~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Liliana Saraiva</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
