Turning Pause into Power: Priya Das on Motherhood and Career - S2E49

Episode Title: Turning Pause into Power: Priya Das on Motherhood and Career

Episode Shownotes:

Motherhood isn’t a straight line — it’s an agile journey where emotions, priorities, and situations keep changing. In this heartfelt episode of the Changepreneurs Podcast, hosts Sathish Kumar and Sunil Sathyendra speak with Priya Das, Career Coach and founder of Start Again with Priya, about how working mothers can transform self-doubt and pauses into confidence and purpose.

Priya shares her personal story of balancing motherhood, career, and identity — from experiencing burnout to discovering coaching and realizing that a pause doesn’t mean the end, but a powerful new beginning. She explains how children act as mirrors, reflecting their parents’ emotions, and how self-awareness and emotional intelligence can transform both parenting and professional life.

Drawing from her own journey, Priya also talks about her decision to take a 60% work plan instead of quitting, the lessons she learned from content creation, and the deep clarity she gained through coaching and self-reflection. Her message is simple and inspiring: motherhood doesn’t end your journey — it refines it.

This episode is a must-listen for working mothers seeking clarity, coaches helping parents navigate transitions, and anyone who believes in lifelong growth and purpose.
