Book cover of Work Pause Thrive: How to Pause for Parenthood Without Killing Your Career

Book description

We worry putting our family first means we'll be forced to abandon our careers. We're afraid if we pause our careers, we'll be forever off-track. This thinking is outdated—forget what you've heard about how pauses are career limiting, about how those who pause lack ambition, or that if you do…

Why read it?

1 author picked Work Pause Thrive as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
