About This Book
Leaving your career to raise your kids doesn't mean leaving your ambition behind—but nobody told the world that yet.
When Neha Ruch stepped away from her corporate job after her first child, she couldn't answer the most basic question: "So, what do you do?" That experience led her to build Mother Untitled, now the leading community for women navigating the stay-at-home transition. The Power Pause tackles the questions that follow that decision—Can I afford this? Who am I without my career identity? How do I return to paid work?—through expert guidance, diverse real-world stories and interactive exercises designed to help women plan for the long term.
For the generation of women who reject both 1950s stereotypes and the idea that ambition has an expiration date, this is the handbook they've been waiting for—practical, honest and built around a simple premise: a pause is not a period.
