Career breaks have long been a complicated decision for many women, and Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled and author of The Power Pause, is helping to reshape the narrative. 

In this episode, we dive into the art of stepping away from work and the strategies for returning, if you want to. Neha opens up about her own career pause and the lessons she learned along the way, offering personal insights into balancing ambition with family and personal fulfillment.

We also take a broader look at the fascinating history of women in the workforce in America, exploring how societal expectations and economic realities have shaped the choices available to women over the decades. From the evolving role of stay-at-home moms to the modern challenges of reentering the workforce, Neha offers advice for anyone navigating these transitions.
