Episode 36: Neha Ruch of Mother Untitled on Life In the Grey Area Between Career and Motherhood and Using A Career Pause to Unlock Your Full Potential

 

When I reached out to my community and asked who in the motherhood space you wanted to hear from, the resounding answer was Neha Ruch from Mother Untitled.

After 10 years working in Brand Strategy and receiving her MBA from Stanford, Neha decided to pause her career after the birth of her second child. She quickly encountered outdated stereotypes associated with being a stay-at-home mother—stereotypes that seemed more fitting to a bygone era than her own experience or the modern women she was meeting.

She became determined to create the world's first collective of ambitious women on career pauses - or downshifts - to reshape the narrative around stay-at-home motherhood and give visibility to the gray area within which many women find themselves during a pause from traditional work outside the home.

Today we talk about everything from finding clarity to pursue this path to what it looks like to unlock your full potential during a career pause. I urge you to pre-order her book, "THE POWER PAUSE: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids – and Come Back Stronger Than Ever." I myself cannot wait to read it.
