Getting to the top and wanting to get down: Is it changing our idea of success?

Karoline Leavitt, a 29-year-old mother of two young children, recently stepped down from her role as the youngest press secretary in the history of the White House in the United States. She had held this high-profile position since January 2025, which provided significant exposure, power, and proximity to the president. According to Donald Trump, who announced her departure on August 12, Leavitt wanted to spend more time with her family. She herself explained that after returning to work following the birth of her second daughter, she realized she could not fulfill both her roles as a mother and as a White House spokesperson, requiring consistent time, energy, and attention.
