42) Returning to Work in the Netherlands: Maternity Rights and Career Confidence

The first day back at work after maternity leave is a life-changing milestone that rarely gets the emotional credit it deserves. In this empowering episode of Dam Parenting, we’re joined by Angela from Every Mother Knows to take a warm, honest, and direct look at the transition from full-time motherhood back to the professional world.

We dive into the practicalities of Dutch labor rights—including pumping breaks and flexible hours—but we also go deeper into the psychological shift of "becoming" a working mother. Angela shares expert strategies for reclaiming your confidence, battling imposter syndrome, and managing the emotional tug-of-war between your career and your baby. Whether you are counting down the days until your return or already back in the office feeling a bit lost, this conversation offers the solidarity and tools you need to thrive in both roles. Your career hasn't ended; it’s just evolving.
