Any advice for a parent returning to work after a long break to be with family? How do you start to fit into your old pace, team, leadership role? Honestly, I was considered a high performer and my biggest fear is I won't be able to return to that.

I might be confused in reading this but are you going back into the office for the first time since Covid started?
Most people are going to feel this way and it will be awkward and uncomfortable for everyone.
Or do you mean you’ve been completely unavailable and with family and just now getting back to work? (In office or home?)

Try thinking of it as your “new” pace instead of your “old” pace. It will be an adjustment for sure, but putting boundaries in place at work so I could be with my kid during certain times actually made me better at my job when I returned from maternity leave. If your company has a culture that “high performer = willing to work 15 hrs/day all the time,” then that’s another conversation altogether.

I had this after being laid off for a while. Fell back in the groove pretty quick.

Just don't second guess yourself. Go in, make moves.

We have only been seeing each other for a couple of weeks and not had any sort of exclusiveness discussions or anything but he is texting and expecting replies multiple times a day (I am currently on vacation away from the city we both live in), planning trips together in several months, letting me know how much he likes and misses me several times a day. I like him but I am starting to feel very overwhelmed.

We’re not sit on the beach 24/7/hike 6+ miles/xtreme water sport people. Budget seems similar for both.
