For some women, leaving the workforce to care for children or family is a choice. For others, it is a necessity. But Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled, doesn’t think a career pause means putting aside professional ambitions. PBS News' Ali Rogin sat down with Ruch to discuss her new book, “The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids – and Come Back Stronger than Ever." "In pausing or shifting our career to make room for family life, we can actually make room to tune in to what actually lights us up," Ruch told Rogin. "Even if we don't have the same amount of time available to us, we can still get strategic about ways in which to grow that then end up serving us on our return," Ruch said.

Earlier this week, President Trump suspended a program to expand the country’s network of electric vehicle chargers. It's the latest in his series of efforts to undo Biden-era policies encouraging EV adoption. But in some parts of the U.S., EVs and other low-carbon technologies are becoming more popular not because of government policies, but because they make economic sense. @AliRogin visited Utah, a politically red state where some residents are going green.

1 in 10 women of reproductive age around the world suffer from a condition known as endometriosis, which can lead to infertility, debilitating pain and financial hardship. It’s an illness where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows in places it’s not supposed to. “The famous statistic around endometriosis is that it can take an average of seven years and seeing seven different doctors before a woman can get her definitive diagnosis of endometriosis,” Dr. Laura Homewood told @AliRogin.

A group of musicians is using their art as a gateway to forging a bond between Americans and Cubans amid the island's economic downturn and isolation. Grammy-winning musician Troy Andrews, better known as Trombone Shorty, started the event "Getting Funky in Havana," which gives student musicians from New Orleans a chance to experience the culture of Cuba and connect with young Cuban musicians. "We can save lives through music," he told PBS News Hour's Jeffrey Brown.
