Stronger After the Gap

Do you ever look up from your laptop, see your child on another screen, and wonder, “Am I failing at both?” In Back on Track, team manager and work‑from‑home mom Fatiha El shares her honest journey from ten years of on‑site customer service, through a career gap after childbirth and Covid, to resignations, false starts, and finally a remote freelance role where she grew into leadership. This book is for moms who love their children deeply but still feel a quiet pull toward their own ambitions. Through short, relatable chapters, you’ll explore: The “invisible gap” between who you were at work and who you became as a mother How to move from guilt and “I’m behind” to permission and “I’m building” Tiny routines that make remote work and motherhood feel less chaotic Turning “mom skills” like planning, negotiation, and crisis management into real career strengths Practical scripts for talking about your career gap and asking for support at home and at work A gentle six‑month comeback plan to rebuild or level up your career You don’t need a perfect plan or endless energy. You need honest tools, small steps, and the reminder that your story is not over. If you’re a work‑from‑home mom searching for positive, realistic motivation, this book is your companion.
