36. What if your dream job isn’t a new job—it’s sharing the one you already have? If you’re considering job sharing, this is the episode I wish I had when I started.

Five words: I just had a baby. That was my why—the deep, personal reason I was determined to make job sharing work. I wanted to be fully present for my 6-month-old daughter without stepping away from the career I had worked so hard to build.

In this special re-release of an essential lesson in job sharing, I share how my first week job sharing with 4 consecutive days off kept my WHY in focus for the hard-won lessons I learned figuring it out on my own. From that first, life-changing week of job sharing—when I felt free, present, and completely re-engaged with myself and my family—I knew this was the future of work.

Whether you’re a new parent, navigating burnout, or craving real work-life balance, job sharing could be your next bold move. In this episode, I walk you through 5 types of professionals who thrive with job sharing and 6 life-changing reasons to say "Yes!" 🙌 🙌
