Don't Call It A Comeback

“The only certainty is change. Stability is an illusion, not a goal.” - Will Meyerhofer

I’m writing this during my first full week back to work after maternity leave. Somehow time has entered a vortex where it is both fast — evidenced by the fact that I am now mom to a 4-month-old baby girl — and slow, demonstrated by how long the nights are during the dreaded 4-month sleep regression. (FYI - It’s as hellish as it sounds.)

What it means to “come back” has been rolling around in my head all week. There is a sense that I should be able to pick up exactly where I left off. I should hit the ground running and jump right in.

I could do that. 

I’ve spent a lot of time setting up the systems and practices in my business to be repeatable and predictable. I love the coaching practice I've developed. I feel proud of the transformations I’ve been able to facilitate for my clients.

The only problem is that I’m not repeatable and predictable.

I can’t pick up where I left off because the woman who left for maternity leave in December isn’t the same woman writing this newsletter today.
