Can women take a career pause without losing their ambition—or themselves?Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled – a platform dedicated to supporting women navigating career pauses and caregiving with clarity, confidence, and ambition – explores the deeply personal and often unspoken challenges modern mothers face today. Neha opens up about her own journey leaving a high-powered tech career to become a full-time parent—and how that decision sparked a redefinition of what success truly means. She shares the emotional complexity of motherhood, letting go of guilt around childcare and building a support system for your children, the importance of financial independence, and how career breaks can become a time of intentional personal growth rather than a step backward. Overall, she believes, investing in yourself is not selfish. RESOURCES: Learn more about The Power Pause by Neha Ruch: https://www.thepowerpause.com/CHAPTERS: 00:00 Navigating Hair Care and Personal Choices03:01 Balancing Work and Family Life05:49 Redefining Ambition and Career Pauses08:57 Financial Independence and Partnership Dynamics12:00 Intentional Growth During Career Pauses14:45 Quality vs. Quantity of Time with Kids23:00 The Importance of a Supportive Network for Children26:07 Navigating Guilt and Trust in Parenting28:57 Conversations Around Family Vision and Support31:52 Flexibility in Work: A Double-Edged Sword38:57 Redefining Success and Presence in ParentingLISTEN NOW: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-well-better Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/get-well-betterYouTube: Or search “Get Well Better by The Lanby” on your favorite podcast platform!VISIT THE LANBY: Explore membership and learn more about The Lanby's functional medicine approach:https://www.thelanby.comFOLLOW THE LANBY ON SOCIAL: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelanby TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thelanby LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thelanbySTAY IN THE KNOW: Subscribe to The Lanby newsletter for health tips, podcast drops, and expert insights: https://www.thelanby.com/newsletter
