I think I've lost all my social skills after having a kid

So I'm single a mum to a lovely 6 year old boy. I've always had a bubbly talkative personality. Since finishing maternity leave I've had various part time jobs that were very small teams or working on my own. I now have a job in a very large organisation with very big characters I find myself being very quiet, not being able to join in on convos or speaking up in the office. I want to chat to people but I find myself stumbling on my word or not knowing what to say.

I felt like I've lost myself. I don't have a big social circle so I don't really get to chat to people much and I'm not close to my family. So feel like I hardly talk to anyone outside of work. I'm feeling very isolated and like my mind is paying the price. I kind of just want some advice on how to bring myself back or strike up convos. I don't feel like me anymore
