The Power Pause: Rebranding the Stay-at-Home Mom

Описание: Let’s explore identity and ambition through the lens of caregiving and career.


I’ve talked a lot this year about settling into my “baby-making era,” working full-time while raising a toddler and an infant in this tumultuous time of trad wives and girl bosses. There’s a concerning disconnect between what women want and what society thinks of those desires. Joining me to talk about all this is Neha Ruch, founder of The Power Pause and author of the USA Today bestselling book of the same name.


Neha is a marketing professional who stepped back from the corporate world to raise her son and become an advocate for women’s autonomy in work and life. We engage in a bold conversation about the problem with binary narratives around motherhood and how a shift in perspective can help us all achieve our goals, both within the home and outside it. 


Let Neha’s work inspire your career and caregiving journey:

• What’s wrong with the phrase “stay-at-home mom,”
• Why the binary choice of being a working or at-home mom is both unrealistic;
• Why stepping back from your career doesn’t mean giving up your ambition;
• Tangible ways companies and moms can normalize taking a “power pause”.
