22. Why Taking a Break From Work Might Be the Best Career Move with Neha Ruch

Can women take a career pause without losing their ambition—or themselves?

Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled – a platform dedicated to supporting women navigating career pauses and caregiving with clarity, confidence, and ambition – explores the deeply personal and often unspoken challenges modern mothers face today.

Neha opens up about her own journey leaving a high-powered tech career to become a full-time parent—and how that decision sparked a redefinition of what success truly means. She shares the emotional complexity of motherhood, letting go of guilt around childcare and building a support system for your children, the importance of financial independence, and how career breaks can become a time of intentional personal growth rather than a step backward. Overall, she believes, investing in yourself is not selfish.
