Description

Balancing family life with personal ambitions is no small feat, especially when career pauses are part of the journey. Redefining success and embracing your evolving identity can be powerful steps toward personal growth—even during time away from paid work.

This week, I welcome Neha Ruch, the founder of Mother Untitled, the leading platform for ambitious women leaning into family life, to discuss the challenges and rewards of navigating career pauses.

She joins me to discuss:


  • Embracing and redefining personal identity during career pauses

  • The importance of support systems, self-compassion, and intentional choices

  • The evolving dynamics of gender roles in caregiving
