The Power Pause – Virtual Book Discussion & Fireside Chat
Motherhood is a profound identity shift—one that can feel both deeply fulfilling and unexpectedly disorienting. Especially for mothers who choose to pause or downshift their career for their families, the loss of a professional title can feel daunting. The Power Pause invites women to embrace this transition with intention, redefining success and selfhood along the way.
Join Lily Walla, Founder + CEO of Auggie, Neha Ruch, author of The Power Pause and founder of Mother Untitled, and Nikki Millman, Head of Community at HATCH for a virtual book discussion and fireside chat exploring how career pauses or downshifts for motherhood can reshape identity, ambition, and purpose.
We’ll dive into:
✔ The identity shifts that can happen when mothers choose at-home parenthood or flexible work—and how to navigate them
✔ Why pausing can be a source of power, not a setback
✔ How to redefine ambition and fulfillment on your own terms
✔ Stories from other mothers on carving a path that feels right
This event is for moms at all stages—whether you’re deep in the newborn haze, re-entering the workforce, or still figuring out who you are in this season of life. Let’s have an honest conversation about the realities of selfhood after motherhood—without the pressure to have it all figured out.
