Hello, you sentient balls of stardust. Welcome to struggle care. Your host, Casey Davis. I am here to talk with Nehaw-Rouche. We're going to talk about the power of pause, which is her new book, about going through that period of motherhood where you make the decision or perhaps feel forced to make the decision to quit your job,

pause your career, stay at home with kids for a time frame. Neha, thank you so much for being here.

Oh, thanks for having me. I've so admired your work for so long, so this is an honor.

Well, I've looked at your book and I wish I would have had it

when I had decided to stay home with my kids. You know, the loss of identity and figuring out your

footing and your routine and all this kind of stuff like that really and worrying about your

career. Like that is exactly what your book is about. That's exactly what I had to fumble through.

And here's where I really wanted to start because this is what I love about your book. I want to talk for a second about

tradwives because especially with the cultural moment that we're having, I feel like there's this

interesting polarization where we really have kind of like the rise of tradwives in this conservative

era that are talking about, oh, motherhood is the best thing you could do and really just

focus on your family. And it's, you know, that's just so enlightened and so beautiful.
