"After taking a career pause to be a
stay-at-home mom and then feeling imposter
syndrome when preparing to return, I felt
supported, valued, and empowered in the
Light + Fit Returnship program. And those
feelings are invaluable when transitioning
to re-enter the workforce."

tell you that I came out of it with a lot more
confidence in my skills and knowledge, the value
I can offer, my place in the current marketplace,
and my ability to manage any work environment,
in-person, remote, or hybrid.”
