Staying Relevant During Mat Leave & Slow Seasons (Without Losing Yourself)

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the fear of losing relevance, especially during a slow season like mat leave, postpartum, or any major life transition. As I move through this slower chapter myself, I’ve been thinking a lot about what relevance actually means, and how we can stay aligned without constantly chasing visibility or momentum. If you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or unsure how to show up in this season, you’re not alone!Here’s what I explore:• 01:40 – How slower seasons like mat leave can spark fears of falling behind• 04:05 – Letting go of hustle culture and redefining success on your own terms• 06:19 – Navigating identity shifts and ambition after becoming a mother• 10:47 – What to do when relevance turns into anxiety and how to return your focus inward• 15:26 – Five practical ways to stay visible and grounded in this season, without the hustle:   1) Redefine your personal definition of relevance   2) Choose one ‘low visibility anchor” (monthly post, newsletter, podcast episode)   3) Audit the noise, mute accounts that trigger urgency or comparison   4) Turn inward before you turn outward   5) Stay relational, not performative Just because you’re not moving fast doesn’t mean you’re not moving forward. Staying relevant doesn’t require you to be everywhere, it just asks you to be aligned. If this landed with you, DM me over on Instagram @rachellesaevil.
