HOT TOPICS: Why Women Are Leaving the Workforce with Neha Ruch from Mother Untitled

We’re talking hot topics throughout Season Three of The Paula Faris Show and one of the hottest topics is this: Women are leaving the workplace because it simply doesn’t work for them. 1 in 3 women are planning on “pausing” and nearly half are considering downshifting, to lean into family life.  What’s behind this trend? And, how can we support women throughout their entire journey of kids and career?  I’ve invited Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled, to the conversation to talk about why women are leaving the workforce, plus how we can reframe the way we think and talk about “at-home” parents.  Motherhood Untitled is the leading platform for ambitious women who are leaning into family life. Neha and I have a very honest and spirited conversation about the pros and cons of leaving the workforce and how we can put an end to the #MommyWars.  Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It.  Listen in to learn more: (0:00:00 - 0:03:00) Community Resilience and First Responders (0:03:28 - 0:06:28) Challenges Faced by Working Mothers (0:06:36 - 0:09:36) Reframing Stay-at-Home Motherhood (0:20:11 - 0:23:11) Navigating Career Pivots After Motherhood  (0:38:47 - 0:41:47) Ending the Divisiveness in Parenting Choices SUMMARY: In this episode, we are diving into reframing the role of a stay-at-home parent, the many multi-faceted reasons a parent may choose to pause or downshift their work outside the home, the crux of the mommy wars and how we can solve them, the power of choice and advocating for better support for every parent, and the motherhood penalty women face in the workforce.
