Stop 

losing your best talent.

Give parents the

they

 deserve 

UK media organisations are losing brilliant talent because returning mums aren’t getting the support they need. They’re juggling deadlines, nursery runs, mum guilt, and the never-ending mental load—without a playbook.

 The Problem 

 The Result 

They leave. And that’s costing you time, money, and future leaders.

  • With 19% leaving the workforce entirely. A lack of practical systems for managing home responsibilities makes returning to work unsustainable.

  • Due to caregiving responsibilities, impacting their income, career progression, and job satisfaction.

  • Is linked to a lack of systematic support to help them stay in senior roles while balancing family responsibilities.

talent is slipping away

talent is slipping away ✨

The Comeback Collective is here to fix that.
This isn’t some fluffy “welcome back” chat.

It’s a high-impact, action-driven program designed specifically for media organisations to help working mums stay, thrive, and succeed—at work and at home.

What makes this different….

Community-Driven -
Peer groups that support each other long after the program ends

Media-Specific -
I get the fast pace, tight deadlines, and client chaos

Work & Home Focused - Because life doesn’t pause when you log in to Zoom.

Action-Packed Learning -
No fluff, just real strategies that actually work.

This is about keeping your best people, cutting recruitment costs, and building a leadership pipeline that doesn’t leak.

How it works….

Peer Power – Monthly Action Learning Sets where mums tackle real-life challenges head-on

Workshops – Practical tools for mums to handle sick days, surprises, and the daily juggle — so work gets their best, not what’s left

One-to-One Support – For those who need a tailored plan to balance work and home life

Runs for six months. Online or in-person. Designed for mums in their first two years back

What’s in it for you…

Stop the talent drain – Keep experienced professionals instead of constantly replacing them

Save money – Less recruitment, less burnout, more retention

More women in leadership – Because career breaks shouldn’t be career killers

  • “When I think about those earlier days as a mum I just wish I had this knowledge about my relationships. And that I had Zoe. I'm the happiest I think I've ever been.

    Kate, Performance Coach and Mum

  • “The thing that I was struggling with was focus at work. I felt I needed to check in often with my son’s nursery if he wasn’t 100% (which is a lot in those early years) or if he hadn’t eaten / slept well. Zoe helped me by sharing one of her tools for worry and anxiety. She also helped me form a communication plan on my terms so that I felt in control and I had assurance that my son was fine so I could dive back into the work projects I love.”

    C Suite Leader & Mum - Brand Strategy and Creative Agency

  • ‘“Thinking about how I felt before I started work and how I feel now… I definitely thought I would be completely out of sorts. But actually the transition has been much easier since our sessions. I feel like I’ve remembered how good I am at work”

    Head of Campaigns & Mum - Global Customer Experience, Data and Digital Marketing Agency

  • “Zoe’s tools and systems have been SO helpful during my transition back to work with my second child. I know that I’m great at my job but I was struggling with the logistics of having 2 children under 4 to manage at the same time. With Zoe’s help I’ve set up slick tools and systems like a weekly delegation meeting with my partner, a back up plan for childcare (that can be utilised last minute) if one of the children is sick and even a process for leaving them to go on work trips - a lot of my team and clients are in New York. It’s made me realise the whole thing is not only manageable but enjoyable and I’m so pleased because without my career I don’t think I’d feel like me. “

    Senior Campaign Manager & Mum, Leading Business Publication

  • “Zoe opened my eyes to the support I had around me, especially when it came to childcare, and helped me create a plan for when and how to use it. It’s meant I’m no longer just running from work to mum duties. I have more space to focus on my career and feel more balanced overall. I finally feel like I’m getting back to me.”

    EA to the CEO & mum, Public service Broadcaster

  • 'Brilliant blend of thought provoking activities and chat.’ ‘Really welcoming, chilled but focused.’ ‘Zoe was so insightful and empathetic.’

    - On Zoe’s workshops/talks

  • ‘Loved the fact you had practical tools / takeaways to apply.’ ‘This REALLY suits my personality as I’m such a planner. I LOVE these systems.’

    - On the content

  • ‘The community LOVED it and it was so nice to create a space for us to talk about this stuff! Really great ideas!’

    - Founder of Founder Mums

  • ‘I loved seeing the light bulb moment on our mums faces when they saw how easily they could slot some of these systems into their life!’
