This event is part of The Power Pause book tour and celebrates the Chicago local community existing in what the author calls the “vast gray area”—the space between the old labels of “stay-at-home” and “working mother.” This event features intentional networking, light bites, and wine, and a conversation between founder of Monica & Andy, Monica Royer, and Neha Ruch, the founder of Mother Untitled about her new book, The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids – And Come Back Stronger Than Ever. Co-owner of Wonderland Books, former parenting editor at The Washington Post, Amy Joyce, will join the conversation.
This book is a groundbreaking, practical guide for women navigating career shifts with confidence, financial dignity, intention, and support, while empowering them to own their stories as they re-enter the workforce. It’s set to transform the conversation around career breaks and downshifts for family life, offering women more options and helping them return to the workforce with less penalty.
