Karoline Leavitt’s departure from the White House is not a story of scandal, but of a young mother choosing to redraw the lines of her life. After returning from maternity leave with her second child, she realized the brutal truth: the all‑consuming demands of the West Wing could not coexist with the kind of motherhood she wanted to give.
