From Pause to Purpose: Career Transitions for Mums
A practical workshop + restorative sound bath for women ready to move from wondering “what next?” to actually knowing.
Saturday, 28 March | 11:00–13:00 | Wellbeing House, West Wimbledon
Most career advice for mums returning to work is either too generic to be useful, or too overwhelming to act on. This session is neither.
In 60 minutes, you will: identify exactly what’s been holding you back (it’s rarely what you think), map the transferable skills you’ve been undervaluing, and leave with 1–2 concrete next steps you can act on this week — not someday.
Career transitions for mums come with a specific set of obstacles that standard career coaching doesn’t address: the confidence gap that builds during time away, the guilt of prioritising yourself, the logistics of retraining or pivoting while running a household, and the identity shift that comes with no longer being the professional you once were. We cover all of it — directly, practically, and without the fluff.
This workshop is led by Mafalda Novo of Positive Impact Coaching, a specialist in supporting parents through major life transitions, who has helped women successfully navigate exactly this crossroads — whether that meant returning to their field, pivoting industries, going freelance, or building something from scratch. Places are capped at 8. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
What the session covers:
We start with an honest look at the real obstacles — the confidence gap, the guilt, the logistics, the identity shift. Then we move into structured self-reflection: mapping your transferable skills, identifying what you’re actually good at, and clarifying what matters to you now.
We explore the full range of possibilities — pivoting, reskilling, going freelance, redesigning how and when you work — with real examples of women who have done exactly that. And we close with action planning: 1–2 specific, realistic next steps you can take this week, plus worksheets and follow-up resources to support you beyond the room.
Followed by: a sound bath with Kasia Richter
After the workshop, participants are invited into a 60-minute immersive sound journey using symphonic gongs, crystal singing bowls, and supporting instruments — a deliberate transition from thinking to integrating. When the mind has been working hard, sound therapy offers something rare: a genuine neurological rest. Research supports what practitioners observe — guided brainwave entrainment facilitates the shift from high-alert beta activity into the slower alpha and theta states associated with emotional processing, clearer thinking, and restoration.
It’s a fitting end to a session about transition.
