Motherhood Rebranded: Neha Ruch on Pausing Careers With Purpose

In today’s world, working moms are celebrated, but stay-at-home moms rarely get the same recognition.

Neha Ruch is on a mission to change that. As the founder of Mother Untitled, Neha has built a thriving community for ambitious women who take career pauses to focus on family. In this episode, she shares insights from her upcoming book, The Power Pause. It’s a guide for mothers on navigating new identities, staying connected to their aspirations, and expanding their network while on a break.

This conversation is about honoring all paths in motherhood, embracing the freedom to choose, and challenging outdated perceptions.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Finding Strength in Career Pauses: Taking a break from your career doesn’t mean the end of ambition. Career pauses can lead to new, unexpected growth opportunities, allowing you to balance family and professional goals on your own terms.
Debunking the "Mom War": Working and stay-at-home moms share more common ground than you think. We invite moms to embrace each other’s choices and celebrate the diversity of modern motherhood.
Building Community to Thrive: Surrounding yourself with a network of supportive, like-minded women can help you overcome challenges, share insights, and stay connected to your personal goals. Leaning on others for support is key to thriving both as a mom and a career woman.
