Why Supporting Mothers Matters for Modern Workplaces with Zoe Scorah

In this episode of the Boostara Podcast, I speak with Zoe Scorah, CEO of MyMaternityCoach, about the overlooked challenges women face when returning to work after maternity leave. We discuss the emotional and psychological shift that comes with this transition, and why many organisations still underestimate the level of support new mothers need. Zoe explains how maternity coaching helps women rebuild confidence, navigate changing identities, and return to work feeling supported and prepared. We also explore the wider business case, how workplaces that lead with empathy, flexibility, and understanding not only support their people better, but also improve retention, engagement, and culture. While technology and AI can play a supporting role, this conversation reinforces that human connection and kindness remain at the heart of meaningful support. This is an important discussion for any organisation serious about building an inclusive and supportive workplace. ✨ Key Takeaways Returning to work after maternity leave is a major transition that requires structured support. Many women face emotional and psychological challenges during this period. Maternity coaching provides guidance, confidence, and practical support. The transition is often underestimated by employers. Mothers bring valuable skills and perspective back into the workplace. Kindness and understanding are critical for successful reintegration. Misconceptions still exist around the purpose of maternity coaching. AI can support services, but human interaction is essential. Supportive workplace cultures improve retention and engagement.
