Have you considered intentionally working less in your business or career to prioritize your motherhood? Or maybe you desire to take a career pause from your paid work to focus your time and energy on family life?

These decisions can be tough ones to make, especially when it can feel like the world is telling us that we should do it all and just keep pushing harder and harder. If you're craving slowing down, softness, maybe you feel a little over girl bossing right now, or maybe you've decided you don't want a seat in the C-suite right now, but you do still consider yourself an ambitious woman, this episode is for you.

I’m talking to Neha Ruch, creator of Mother Untitled about what it can look like to take a career pause or downshift your work or business. Pausing doesn't mean you're falling behind. It just means you know your priorities for the season and you're pursuing those priorities. So, in this episode, we're really talking about what that can look like and how we can start redefining how to do a pause.

Neha shares about:

• Why the term stay-at-home mom needs a rebrand
• The reality of what it looks like to be a stay-at-home mom in 2024
• How many American women are desiring career pauses and downshifts (and what we can do to pursue one)
• What a pause or downshift even is (if those terms feel new to you)
• What you can do to enjoy a career pause
• How you can use a pause to develop your sense of identity aside from your work

Plus, she also talks about how you can ultimately leverage time away from the traditional workforce to network, explore, and ultimately return stronger than ever. As a mom of little kids, I felt just so honored to get to have Neha on the podcast, and I hope that you love this conversation as much as I did.
