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

    HOT TOPICS: Why Women Are Leaving the Workforce with Neha Ruch from Mother Untitled
    Oct 1 2024
    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.

    I AM DONE COUNTING CALORIES. The majority of your questions throughout this series have been about nutrition and exercise, so, let’s talk about how we can best prepare our bodies for this time in our lives, beginning in our 30’s.
