FINAL MYTH-BUSTING EPISODE: The Financial Truth About Job Sharing
Think you can’t afford to job share? This episode will completely change your perspective on the financial impact of sharing your role.
I was an equal breadwinner carrying benefits for my family when I started job sharing. I had the same money fears you might have right now. But here’s what I discovered: you don’t just afford to job share—you can’t afford NOT to job share.
What you’ll learn in episode 51:
- ✅ 5 ways job sharing saves money immediately (childcare alone could save you 40%! )
- ✅ Why job sharing is a negotiation that protects your income and benefits
- ✅ How job sharing can boost your career and earning potential
- ✅ The surprising promotion rates of job share teams
- ✅ Real examples of income maintenance and growth in job shares
The truth: Job sharing doesn’t mean half pay. It means strategic career planning that often leads to promotions, better work-life balance, AND financial benefits you never considered.
We’ve officially busted all 5 myths over this series:
- Episode 48: Your job CAN be shared
- Episode 49: Finding a partner is easier than you think
