3 million women have been pushed out of the workforce

What if I told you that you could more than survive this pandemic and half your workload, caregiving, and mental load with job sharing?

I want you to hear this message: If something has happened to the professional life you spent years developing, it is not your fault. I’ve been thinking A LOT about how to keep women from becoming one more than 3 million who were pushed out of the workforce by the pandemic. I understand how they feel more than ever.

You see, I too was forced to stop working for a time when suddenly caring for my mom and kids all while working/schooling/living at home. If this is you or you’re barely hanging onto your job, stressed by the instability of the pandemic without any social safety net, help is on the way.

a secret benefit of job sharing

There’s a job sharing secret benefit that could be more life-changing RIGHT NOW than ever before — equity at work AND home. Job sharing at work organically sets up equal co-parenting by halving your workload, caregiving, and Mental Load.

This is our household before I started job sharing when my baby Iris was 6 months old. The top two are from her first day of daycare when I raced across town, feeling so guilty that my husband took her.

Those days were hard. Over the years, many of my friends commented, “Mike is just so great. If only I could get (insert husband’s name) to do (insert chore/Mental Load activity/caregiving duty).” And I agree, my husband Mike is a great guy. But there’s more to it…

How to half your workload, caregiving, and mental load job sharing (and how to know job sharing will work in your job)

In this training, I share something I’ve never revealed before — how we achieved a truly equal co-parenting household because of job sharing. And how, even when I stopped job sharing to start Work Muse, equal co-parenting became an ingrained family value set.

I also dive into exactly how you will confidently know job sharing is right for you and why it will work in your job. You see, job sharing doesn’t just enable you to level up at work by utilizing two minds in one job while working part-time, but the structure itself creates boundaries around:

1. The unpaid labor you do,
2. The Mental Load, and
3. Setting up an equal co-parenting dynamic where you each take the lead half the week.
