There's the idea

Then there's real life

The kids, the mental load, the self-doubt, the not knowing where to even start. Women Back to Work bridges the distance between thinking about returning to work and actually doing it, no matter what your life looks like right now.

From someone who has been on both sides.

Don’t stay stuck in uncertainty and self-doubt.

You’ve been thinking about this for a while now, haven’t you.

Not because you’re not ready. But because life keeps getting in the way. The timing never feels right. The confidence comes and goes. And somewhere between the school run, the mental load and everything else on your plate, your own career keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list.

That’s not failing. That’s just where you are right now.

Women Back to Work was built for exactly this moment. Not the polished, got-it-all-together version of returning to work. The real version, where you’re juggling everything and still trying to figure out what you actually want.

Three simple steps from uncertainty to action.

Here’s how it works.

Take your next step

Join a community of women at the same crossroad. Share the wins, the wobbles and everything in between. You don’t have to figure this out alone.

The choice is yours: stay stuck in self-doubt, or reignite your career with confidence.

This is for the version of you that nobody else is talking to.

Not the woman who has it all figured out. The one who is still in the middle of it. Wondering if she has left it too late. Worried that what she knew before doesn’t count anymore. Trying to work out what she even wants, not just what makes sense on paper.

That woman deserves proper support. Not a generic resume template or a list of interview tips. Real, practical help that starts where she actually is.

That’s what Women Back to Work is.

Hi, I'm Melissa.

I spent 20 years in HR watching capable, experienced women talk themselves out of opportunities before they even applied. Women who had so much to offer but couldn’t see it themselves. That’s what eventually led me to build this.

But I also know what it’s like on the other side of that. When I had kids I made a deliberate decision not to go back into a big corporate role. I knew what it would cost me in time I wasn’t willing to give up. So I built my own business instead, slowly, around school pickups and childcare and a to-do list that never quite got to the bottom.

It wasn’t perfect. But it was mine.

I built Women Back to Work because I’ve sat at both tables. I know what employers are actually looking for, and I know what it feels like to be figuring out your next move while real life is happening all around you.

Don't just take out word for it.

“After several years away from the workforce due to caring responsibilities, I knew I wanted to return but I wasn’t sure where to start. Melissa made the whole process feel less overwhelming. She helped me uncover the transferable skills I’d gained both before and during my time away, and showed me how they could apply to industries I was genuinely interested in. We focused on roles that aligned with both my experience and my creative interests.

With WB2W’s support, I’ve now found a role that not only suits my skills but feels exciting and meaningful. It’s been a huge confidence boost.”

“Working with Melissa was a real turning point for me. She helped me take a step back and truly see the value in my transferable skills—something I’d honestly overlooked. Together, we explored different industries that aligned with my interests, and she guided me on how to position my experience in a way that made sense for those new areas. Melissa made the whole process feel empowering and achievable. I now feel so much more confident about making a career move into a field I’m genuinely excited about.”

When my financial situation changed, I knew I needed to get back into the workforce, but I felt unsure about where I fit after being away for a while. Working with Melissa through WB2W was exactly the support I needed. She helped me identify the skills I already had and how they could be transferred into roles I’d never considered before. She really listened to what was important to me—not just financially, but personally too. I’m now in a job that gives me both stability and a renewed sense of purpose.
