Neha Ruch: The Power Pause & Why It's Okay to Step Away from Your Career

What if taking a step back is actually the way forward? On this first episode of Mostly Together, I sit down with Neha Ruch — author and creator of The Power Pause. We have a candid conversation about identity, ambition, and what happens when the life you built no longer feels aligned. This episode dives into: * Why we tie our identity so closely to our careers * The pressure to have life "figured out" from a young age * What it really looks like to step off the expected path — and why it's so hard * How to redefine success on your own terms I also share details about my own recent career pivot—after years in a fast-paced, public-facing role—while Neha reflects on the pivotal moments that led her to question traditional definitions of work and worth. ———————————————— Connect with Neha: Website: https://www.thepowerpause.com Instagram: @neha_ruch Book: The Power Pause  Explore Mostly Together: 🌐 Website & episodes: https://mostlytogetherpod.com/   — explore the show, past conversations, and what we're building here 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mostly-together/id1871317737  🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Q2TPERHFNgnapvuOQJqSx?si=3b7425378a0e4fc1  📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mostlytogetherpod Connect with Me: Instagram & Facebook: @nicolenalepatv  Podcast IG & FB: @mostlytogetherpod Take what you need, leave the rest — and I'll see you next week.
