Episode Description

After a 10-year career and an MBA from Stamford, Neha Ruch became--what society calls--a "stay-at-home mom". But it was a title she was not buying into. Neha didn't believe that she'd become a shut-in or that her career would be over. Instead, she reframed the situation and called this period "the power pause" -- a label so many women across the country are catching onto and getting behind. Neha chats with Nicole about her new book, "The Power Pause" and also gives some helpful advice to any women out there who may be struggling with the idea of a career pause for family life -- or who are curious about downshifting their hours without the fear of being judged.
