In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Neha Khanna and Ruohao Zhang about how government shutdowns prevent active air-pollution monitoring—and end up leading to more air pollution from coal-fired power plants while monitoring is on hiatus. Professor Khanna from Binghamton University and Assistant Professor Zhang from Pennsylvania State University published a related study, with another coauthor, examining the impact of the 2018–2019 government shutdown on pollution emissions from federally regulated coal-fired power plants. The authors found that the hiatus on pollution monitoring by federal employees, who were furloughed during the shutdown, led to an increase in the types of pollutants that required manual regulation at power plants. In this podcast episode, Khanna and Zhang reflect on how these findings may likewise inform how pollution rates may have changed during the government shutdown that ended just last week.

All season long, we've been talking about what I call The Everything Era—that season when you have to make so many of the biggest, most consequential decisions of your life all at once. It's full of possibility, but it's also full of pressure—especially when some of those decisions don't seem to fit together very well. And one of the trickiest examples of that is the tension between career and motherhood. What happens when the rhythm that used to work suddenly doesn't anymore? When the version of success you used to chase doesn't quite fit the life you have now? Or when your family needs you in one way, but your career seems to demand something entirely different? My guest today is Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled and author of The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids—and Come Back Stronger Than Ever. Through her work, Neha is helping women rethink what it means to take a pause in their careers after having kids—showing that stepping back doesn't mean stepping away from your ambition. She's helping us reimagine this in-between space as a powerful, intentional season of reflection and realignment—a chance to build a life and career that actually work together, not against each other. Whether you're already a mom, planning for motherhood, or just thinking about what your next chapter might hold, this conversation will give you permission to press pause—not out of fear or failure, but as a power move. Alright friends, let's dive in. Here's my conversation with Neha Ruch. Mentioned in this episode:

If you've ever felt like pressing pause on your career made you less ambitious, this Motherkind Moment will help you see it differently. In this short but powerful clip, author and founder of Mother Untitled, Neha Ruch, explains why stepping back from paid work doesn't mean stepping away from growth. She reframes motherhood as a “power pause”, a chapter that can expand your sense of self, deepen your values, and open new possibilities, rather than close them. I chose this moment because it captures one of the most freeing ideas from our full conversation: that ambition doesn't disappear in motherhood, it just evolves. Neha reminds us that caring for others is still work, that our worth isn't tied to a job title, and that pressing pause can be an act of power, not loss.

Maybe we'll find a tiger there."Hi: जैसे ही उन्होंने घने जंगल में प्रवेश किया, कोहरा बढ़ने लगा।En: As they ventured into the dense forest, the fog began to thicken.Hi: हरियाली के बीच अब अंधेरा ज्यादा गहरा था।En: Among the greenery, the darkness grew deeper.Hi: नेहा की चिंता बढ़ रही थी।En: Neha's worry was increasing.Hi: उसकी हर धड़कन उसे वापस मुख्य मार्ग पर लौटने का संकेत दे रही थी।En: Every heartbeat was signaling her to return to the main path.Hi: "आरव, सुनो। हमें लौटना चाहिए। ये सही नहीं लग रहा," नेहा ने दृढ़ता से कहा।En: "Aarav, listen. We should return. This doesn't feel right," Neha said firmly.Hi: अचानक, पत्तों की सरसराहट ने उनकी निर्देशिका को बदल दिया।En: Suddenly, the rustling of leaves altered their direction.Hi: उन्होंने देखा, चाँद की चाँदनी में कुछ चमक रहा था।En: They saw something shimmering in the moonlight.Hi: दोनों ने थोड़ी देर के लिए एक-दूसरे की ओर देखा और फिर वहाँ पीछे मुड़ गए।En: For a moment, they looked at each other and then turned back.Hi: वो बाघ की आँखों की झिलमिलाहट थी।En: It was the glimmer of a tiger's eyes.Hi: एक पल के लिए वो स्तब्ध खड़े रहे।En: They stood still, stunned, for a moment.Hi: समय जैसे थम सा गया।En: Time seemed to stand still.Hi: उन्होंने महसूस किया कि उन्हें अब लौटना चाहिए।En: They realized it was time to return.Hi: वो वापस गाइडेड मार्ग पर लौट गए, जहाँ एक सुरक्षा का एहसास था।En: They went back to the guided path, where there was a sense of safety.Hi: नेहा ने अपनी सहज बुद्धि से उन्हें सही रास्ता दिखाया था।En: Neha had shown them the right way with her intuition.Hi: आरव ने नेहा की ओर देखकर मुस्कराया, "तुम सही थीं। सारी अनुभूति सफर में ही थी।"En: Aarav looked at Neha and smiled, "You were right. The whole experience was in the journey itself."Hi: इस सुदूर जंगल की गहराईयों में, उन्होंने न सिर्फ प्रकृति की अद्भुत खूबसूरती देखी बल्कि ये भी सीखा कि कभी-कभी अनुभव अपने आप में मंजिल हो सकता है।En: In the depths of this remote jungle, they not only witnessed the incredible beauty of nature but also learned that sometimes the experience can be the destination itself.Hi: यह सफर उनके लिए एक यादगार कथा बन गया।En: This journey became a memorable story for them.

Motherhood changes us — and not just in the ways we expect. For many women, having a child prompts a deep reevaluation of priorities, identity, and ambition. It's not that ambition disappears; it evolves into something new. And in a world that often pushes women to choose between work and family, this shift can often leave new mothers feeling confused, lonely, or even disempowered. But what if pausing your career to focus on family wasn't a setback, but a powerful, intentional move that reshapes your life and strengthens your future? That's exactly what today's guest, Neha Ruch, wants us to see. In this episode of Chick Chat, I sat down with Neha to talk about how we can reframe motherhood, ambition, and success, especially for women navigating the “gray area” between caregiving and career. Who Is Neha Ruch? Neha Ruch is a thought leader, author, and speaker on women, identity, and work. After a decade in brand strategy and earning her MBA from Stanford, she chose to pause her career following the birth of her second child and quickly realized how outdated the conversation around stay-at-home motherhood still was. She launched Mother Untitled, now rebranded as The Power Pause, a movement and platform that supports modern women who are embracing career pauses or slowdowns as a strategic, meaningful chapter in their lives. She created a space for ambitious women who are pressing pause, not delete on their careers. Her work has sparked a cultural shift around caregiving, ambition, and redefining success in the parenting years, resonating with hundreds of thousands of women. Her debut book, The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids – and Come Back Stronger Than Ever, is a first-of-its-kind guide that reimagines this chapter as one filled with purpose, growth, and long-term opportunity. Final Thoughts If you've ever questioned your worth during a season of slowing down or wondered how to hold onto your ambition while being present for your family, this episode is for you. Neha Ruch is rewriting the script around what it means to be a mother, a professional, and a whole person. Her work gives voice to a growing movement of women who are choosing to press pause and reminding us all that there is power in every chapter.

Send us a textAnkita Raturi basked under the Playwright's Spotlight for the World Premiere of her play Neha & Neel. In this discussion we break down the concept of applied theatre and being a teaching artist, how it effects character, exercises that extrude character and whether or not the practice makes it into a piece. We unpack earning a monologue, the first steps of playwriting, writing bi-lingually, dramaturgical playwriting, and the audience's experience. We also discuss finding directors for foreign language pieces, writing multiple characters for one actor, discovering "magic" in grad school, self producing, keeping notes, ego, and good ideas, and clear guidelines and the ethics of paying fees to have one's work read. Ankita is a force to be reckoned with that every playwright can learn from.

Check out OpenSolar OS 3.0 at: https://suncast.media/opensolar More batter density = more value, right? Not so fast.In this episode, we challenge the hype around energy storage density—and reveal what really drives value for battery storage assets.At RE+ 2025, Nico Johnson got to connect with two powerhouse product leaders from Wärtsilä Energy Storage: Neha Sinha, Head of Hardware Portfolio, and Ruchira Shah, Lead for Software Product Management. Together, they're crystal clear about how hardware and software integration impacts performance, revenue, and long-term viability in energy storage projects. And how that translates to strategic value for battery operators.If you think “more megawatt-hours per box” is the endgame, you might be oversizing your system—and leaving cash on the table. Neha and Ruchira explain why “usable energy,” not just nameplate capacity, is the real metric investors should care about. And why that's not solely defined by the MWH you can stuff inside a container.Expect to learn:

Editor's note: Given the Trump administration's efforts to roll back California's electric trucking rules, heavy duty transport is top of mind right now. So we're bringing you a deep dive into the industry, an episode of The Green Blueprint on Terawatt Infrastructure's $1 billion strategy to build charging depots. In 2021, Neha Palmer co-founced Terrawatt Infrastructure with a bold mission: create the backbone for America's electric trucking revolution. Within its first year, Terrawatt secured a billion-dollar investment. But as the company developed plans for a nationwide charging network, it confronted the daunting challenge of building infrastructure for an electric truck market that barely existed.  High-profile bankruptcies like Nikola Motors cast long shadows over the sector's viability, raising questions about whether heavy-duty transport can truly be electrified. In this episode, Lara talks with Neha about how Terrawatt aims to transform freight transport despite market skepticism. Neha explains Terawatt's strategic approach to site selection, innovative charging designs for fully-loaded trucks, and the vision for a revolutionary California-to-Texas network.

There's a concerning disconnect between what women want and what society thinks of those desires. Joining me to talk about all this is Neha Ruch, founder of The Power Pause and author of the USA Today bestselling book of the same name.Neha is a marketing professional who stepped back from the corporate world to raise her son and become an advocate for women's autonomy in work and life. We engage in a bold conversation about the problem with binary narratives around motherhood and how a shift in perspective can help us all achieve our goals, both within the home and outside it. Let Neha's work inspire your career and caregiving journey:What's wrong with the phrase “stay-at-home mom,”Why the binary choice of being a working or at-home mom is both unrealistic;Why stepping back from your career doesn't mean giving up your ambition;Tangible ways companies and moms can normalize taking a “power pause”.Related Links:Connect with Neha - https://www.instagram.com/neha_ruch/Get “The Power Pause: How To Plan A Career Break After Kids” - https://www.thepowerpause.com/thepowerpauseLearn more about Neha's organization - https://www.thepowerpause.com/The 2023 American Mothers on Pause study - https://www.thepowerpause.com/americanmothersonpauseTAKE ACTION with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/Follow Emilie on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/emiliearies/

Estee gave up her career to become a full-time housewife—and proudly lets her husband make all the decisions. Critics say she's turning back the clock on women's rights. Supporters say she's redefining modern femininity. Dr. Phil sits down with Estee and her husband Conner to unpack the “tradwife” movement. Is it submission—or empowerment? Neha calls it a dangerous setback. Mara runs a company and can't imagine ever “submitting” to a man—let alone being one's wife. Conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey backs stay-at-home moms, but questions if tradwives are being honest. Meanwhile, Austin says he had to leave the U.S. to find a woman with traditional values. Is this trend a threat to feminism—or a radical form of it?

In this episode, I sit down with Neha Nautiyal, a vegetarian macro coach who lost 30 pounds—without giving up her beloved Indian food. If you've ever felt like macro counting means sacrificing your cultural dishes or eating separately from your family, Neha's story will show you a different way. We talk about how she overcame the challenge of fitting high-carb, low-protein traditional meals into her macro goals, and how she ditched the “either/or” mindset to find balance. This conversation is about more than just food—it's about embracing your culture while still making progress toward your goals. If you've ever felt stuck between two worlds, this episode is for you.Find show notes at bicepsafterbabies.com/378Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok!Links:Neha Nautiyal's InstagramNeha's List: Ways to Adapt Any Dish to Be Macro-Friendly
