There’s a difference. For 7 years we’ve been championing an updated narrative about the modern “stay-at-home mom” to move past the caricatures from generations ago. Modern women on career pauses or downshifts to make room for the complicated, immense work of family life today have accrued more education and more work experience before motherhood, we have equitable relationships with partners with this generation of dads spending 3x the amount of time with children, we have access to digital landscape for flex work, education and ongoing growth and connection. And it’s imperative we update the perception so women choosing to pause or downshift aren’t counted out as giving up on ambition or expected to meet an ideology of doing it all on their own in the home. But lastly, we are finally at a moment where we are reexamining work and family and embracing a more nuanced fluid view that stands to unite women.

This dynamic has arisen, she says, because men have less to gain by changing their behavior, while women are more likely to want to alter the s... See more
