This episode of The Driven Women Project Podcast is not just for mothers—it’s for any woman who has ever questioned society’s definition of success.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to conform to someone else’s definition of success, this episode will reframe everything.

In this episode, I sit down with Neha Ruch, the founder of Mother Untitled, a movement redefining the way we view stay-at-home motherhood. Neha’s work has caught the attention of Oprah, Drew Barrymore, Kourtney Kardashian, Mandy Moore, and more, and her new book, The Power Pause, is changing the narrative around career breaks for women.

We talk about:

🔥 What it really means to be a driven woman

🔥 How to own your decisions—whether that means focusing on career, family, or both

🔥 The biases that women face when re-entering the workforce—and how to overcome them

🔥 Why pausing is not giving up, and how to preserve your career optionality

🔥 How to have financial conversations with your partner before stepping away from work
