Are Stay-at-Home Moms Giving Up? Are Working Moms Selfish? Let’s Talk w/ Neha Ruch

In today’s episode I am joined by Neha Ruch, author of The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break after Kids and Come Back Stronger Than Ever, to unpack the long-standing tension between stay-at-home and working moms. Together, we explore the myths, societal pressures, and hidden labor behind both choices—while challenging the idea that ambition and motherhood are at odds. Neha shares how taking a career pause can be a power move, why it’s time to end the shame around different parenting paths, and how we can better support all moms, no matter their choice.
