I'm scared of returning to work after maternity leave, so I'm writing my future self a letter 🔵 From Emmabarnett for ipaperviews
I covered how to think about the news agenda and what strategies work best in the various daily planning meetings and conversations about filling a programme with guests. I reminded myself to smile, breathe and enjoy being on air with listeners, because live radio is a relationship and always flows better when you allow yourself as the presenter to have fun with it.
However, should a pregnant woman find herself staring down the barrel of maternity leave and with a job she wants or needs to return to, then thinking of ways to equip yourself to feel that little bit more assured as you make the transition back into working life can only be a good thing. A prescriptive letter filled with instructions, tips and some of your work highlights might not be everyone’s cup of tea. But something else might be.
A spot of luck was on my side on that front: only days after I returned to my 5 Live show did one of my political interviews go viral precisely because I was listening so intently. Rory Stewart, then a Conservative minister, came on to extol the virtues of Theresa May’s Brexit deal, claiming 80 per cent of the British public supported it.
During Covid, some people with office-based roles who were suddenly forced to work from home or furloughed faced a few of the same existential questions many women turn over in their minds during maternity leave, namely: who am I? Why do I do what I do? Is it what I want to do? Am I any good at it?
