Neha Ruch is the founder of Mother Untitled, the leading platform for ambitious women leaning into family life. A thought leader, influencer, and sought-after speaker focusing on women, work, parenting and identity, Neha’s transformative insights and reframes resonate with the hundreds of thousands of women in the Mother Untitled community and beyond. Through Mother Untitled, she has sparked meaningful, supportive conversations, catalyzing a shift in how society views stay-at-home motherhood.
After 10 years working in Brand Strategy and receiving her MBA from Stanford, Neha decided to pause her career after the birth of her second child. She quickly encountered outdated stereotypes associated with being a stay-at-home mother—stereotypes that seemed more fitting to a bygone era than her own experience or the modern women she was meeting. She became determined to create the world’s first collective of ambitious women on career pauses – or downshifts – to reshape the narrative around stay-at-home motherhood and give visibility to the gray area within which many women find themselves during a pause from traditional work outside the home.
