Redefining Career Pauses: A Fresh Perspective on Stay-at-Home Life | Neha Ruch (EP377)

Redefining Career Pauses: A Fresh Perspective on Stay-at-Home Life | Neha Ruch (EP377)

Are you tired of the question, “What do you do?” as an at-home parent—a question that oversimplifies and undervalues the role? In this podcast episode, I spoke with Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled, to explore the multifaceted reality of taking a career break after having kids. We discuss the invisible yet essential labor of managing a household, the need to redefine success during this unique life phase, and practical ways to stay connected to professional goals while prioritizing family. Neha offers actionable strategies for remaining prepared to re-enter the workforce when the time is right, while also addressing the cultural stigma surrounding career pauses. Together, we reframe parenting as a valuable and fulfilling chapter, challenging outdated narratives about success and family balance. Whether you're navigating this journey or curious about modern perspectives on work and family, this conversation offers an empowering look at thriving in every phase of life.
