Help me get my work confidence back

Long story short, I've struggled with work since having my kids, now 6YO and 8YO.

I used to love my job, it was my identity. Then I got put at risk of redundancy and redeployed just before having DC1. I hated the job, but stuck around due to generous maternity package and needing the income. Same thing happened again just before having DC2. Stayed again because the role was better for childcare, but not what I wanted to do. I did it until DC2 started school and went back full time. I thought the job would be great but it was awful. It really knocked my confidence.

I started a new job last year. It is WFH and I am struggling. I don't know if it is me or the job. I feel like I have no confidence in my decisions. I don't feel like I can reach out to others with WFH.

I can't work out if it's me or the job or both. It's hard juggling everything at home and at work. I feel like I know what I'm doing and them something pulls the rug from under me.

Does anyone have any advice?

Bump? Anyone?
