The biggest lie we tell mothers | Neha Ruch

What if stepping away from your career wasn’t falling behind, but actually getting ahead?Motherhood hasn’t caught up to reality. Women are still pushed into extremes: all in at work or all in at home, with very little space in between.In this episode of Broadlines, Natalie and Rae sit down with Neha Ruch, author of The Power Pause, to challenge everything we’ve been told about ambition, motherhood, and success.The system wasn’t built to support women, and yet women are still expected to make it work. 1 in 4 American women return to work just two weeks after giving birth and many don’t even qualify for paid leave. Neha offers a different perspective. A career pause isn’t a setback, it’s a strategic chapter.EPISODE CREDITS...Hosted by Natalie Lizarraga and Rae WilliamsDirected by Lauren AmesExecutive Produced by Sydney Kramer and Rachel ApirianProduced by Lauren Ames, Rae Williams, and Natalie LizarragaEdited by Davielle WaldnerBROADLINES IS ALSO ON...SpotifyAppleJOIN THE CONVERSATION...InstagramLinkedInTikTokXWebsiteBroadlines is a production of The Female Quotient and recorded in Los Angeles, California.
