Publisher's Description
Life changes a lot after having a baby, and it changes again upon returning to work. How do Christian mums navigate this shift in a way that honours God and those around them? This book unpacks it all. Real Christian mums who have recently made the shift back to work explore its impact on their faith, relationships, emotions, and all the practicalities. In exploring what the Bible has to say about work, readers will discover specific ways to glorify God in their workplace; prepare themselves for how their return to work can impact their faith; and explore how to guard their hearts, navigate career progression and motherhood, mum guilt, and even how to dress for work again. Take a deep dive into money, managing household and family responsibilities with a spouse, setting up a business, establishing morning and evening routines, and managing time effectively. Reflect on how returning to work can impact a marriage, one's connections with one's children and friends, and how to manage these changes well. Readers will also hear from career development coaches and mums in ministry to get their incredible guidance on this big chapter in life.

“Having written from the trenches of mothering a toddler, Maryke Jesudason gives a uniquely raw and real insight into the struggles and joys of decisions around work after baby. The wisdom she shares feels less like a book and more like a hot chocolate with a friend, who gets how tough this season is.”
“Work After Baby is a fresh, fun, and fast read—perfect for mums on the go with busy lives and little ones to look after. The book is approachable, practical, and feels like a conversation with a dear friend who ‘gets’ what it’s like to be a working mum.”
