5 Types of Professionals Who Thrive with Job Sharing AND 6 Life-Changing Reasons to Say “Yes!”
The 5 types of professionals who thrive with job sharing may just surprise you.
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.
If you’ve ever said “there’s got to be a better way to work,” this is your sign.
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 who benefits the most from job sharing and 6 life-changing reasons to say “Yes!”
In Episode 36, you’ll learn:
- ✔️ How to know if job sharing is right for you (including 5+ types of professionals who thrive most)
- ✔️ Why knowing your “why” is non-negotiable if you want to get the green light from your employer
- ✔️ 6 life-changing benefits of job sharing no one tells you about
- ✔️ How job sharing doesn’t just change your work—it can transform your home life, your parenting, and your mental health
- ✔️ Why I created Work Muse (and how I’m helping others skip the pain of figuring it out alone)
