Jobshare Revolution: Flexible Work for Work-Life Balance

43. Summer Self-Care & Taking a Real Pause When end-of-school chaos meets the need for genuine restIf there's one thing I know for sure, it's this: There will ALWAYS be challenging seasons to navigate when life moves fast and work is intense.Fresh off my daughter's high school graduation and our five-day "grad-u-palooza," I'm bringing back our #1 most popular episode—and I think its popularity speaks to how absolutely overrun we all feel, especially during "Maycember" (that chaotic collision of May's end-of-school madness with summer's promise of freedom).End-of-school craziness paired with scrambling for summer childcare can feel overwhelming for parents juggling work schedules. Whether you're piecing together camps, relatives, and friends for younger kids, or navigating the complex world of teens who've aged out of traditional childcare, the struggle is real.Personally, the end-of-school season always hits me like a two-by-four. If there's one thing I miss about job sharing, it's having a work bestie to help keep my well-being in check—someone with the authority to signal when it's time to pause and practice real self-care.In this encore episode, you'll discover:How to handle summer transitions without losing your mindWhy taking a pause isn't selfish—it's essentialHow to pivot and downshift when kids are home and work routines go out the windowWhat real self-care actually looks like (hint: it's more than massages and facials)How job sharing principles can help you rest, refresh, and recharge—even outside of workLinks Mentioned:Join our weekly newsletter (biweekly this summer!): workmuse.com/newsletterGrab your FREE Guide to Job Sharing

42. The workplace mental health crisis is real—and current solutions aren't working. Here's what actually does.It's the end of Mental Health Awareness Month—and if you're a working parent, you know the cruel irony. May is supposed to be about mental health awareness, but it's also the most mentally exhausting month of the year. Graduations. End-of-school chaos. Emotional rollercoastering that would make anyone question their sanity.I'm living it right now. My daughter Iris graduates high school in two days, and between the "lasts" and the logistics, I'm feeling it all.But here's what this overwhelming month perfectly captures: We're in a workplace mental health crisis, and what employers are offering isn't working.In this episode, I'm having the conversation we need to be having about mental health at work—not the surface-level wellness app solutions, but the structural changes that actually support well-being.Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why 65% of employees report mental health challenges but only 25% find employer resources helpfulThe real reason burnout rates keep climbing (hint: it's not about individual resilience)How job sharing creates mental health infrastructure, not just another perkWhy 87% of job sharers say it was the difference between staying and leaving their jobThe business case for reimagining work structures to support human well-beingThis isn't just about being nice to employees—it's about building sustainable, high-performing teams in an era where talent retention is everything.If you're a people leader watching your team burn out, an HR professional trying to move the needle on engagement, or an employee barely keeping your head above water—this episode is your roadmap to something better.Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is admit the current system is broken and dare to imagine something different.Links mentioned:Episode 41: A Wake-Up Call for Working Moms: What Two Job Sharers Did to Save Their Health—and Their SanityEpisode 30:My Coping Strategies: How Job Sharing Creates Stability During Uncertain Times2025 State of Workforce Mental Health Report, LyraMcKinsey's Women in the Workplace Report, 2023Deloitte Workplace Burnout Survey, 20247 Things to Know about Workplace Mental HealthThe Job Share Project study key findingsEpisode Website: workmuse.com/42Transcript Send Melissa a Text Message.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS Thank you for supporting my bootstrapped social good business and mission! “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

41. A powerful story about burnout, boundaries, and reclaiming your life. It's Mental Health Awareness Month—and let's be real: for moms, May might just be the most mentally exhausting month of the year. Talent shows. Awards ceremonies. Prom. Final projects. Finals. You name it—May has it. I'm in the thick of it. My daughter's graduating in mere weeks, and the calendar is jam-packed with celebration and emotion, stretching me very thin. That is exactly why we're revisiting this powerful conversation. In this episode, I sat down with Work Muse clients Mary Kaye Stuart and Sommer Hruska, whose job share was born from the toll of a demanding job on Mary Kaye's health and a deep need for change. Mary Kaye hit a wall, and instead of pushing through, she got honest about what she needed… and did something about it. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why burnout isn't just about stress—it's about unsustainable systemsHow Mary Kaye and Sommer created a job share arrangement that saved her career and wellbeingWhy job sharing is a practical AND powerful solution for long-term healthHow you can use job sharing to build in boundaries, breathing room, and balanceA doctor's sage advice for longevity and a young mother's determination to find more time for her children and homestead might have been the impetus. However, job sharing led both Mary Kaye and Sommer to enjoy other parts of life society "doesn't deem as worthy" like exploring passions such as writing and being truly present with one's children and self. If you're feeling the weight of it all—this one's for you. Especially if you've ever whispered to yourself, “There has to be a better way…” There is. And this episode shows you what it can look like. It may just be the wake-up call you need to consider sharing your job.Links mentioned:Work Muse Guide to Job Sharing (Free Guide)Job Share, Live Life + Slay Work Facebook GroupDM me on LinkedInEpisode Website: workmuse.com/41Transcript here.Send Melissa a Text Message.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS Thank you for supporting my bootstrapped social good business and mission! “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

Ep 40. The Complicated Truth About Mother's Day (And Why It's Okay to Feel Everything)What if Mother's Day didn't feel joyful… and instead brought up a swirl of emotions?You're not alone. In this deeply personal episode, I'm unpacking the messy middle of Mother's Day—why it feels so complicated for so many of us, and why we need to stop pretending it's one-size-fits-all.From loving-but-complicated relationships with our own moms, to loss, longing, caregiving, and navigating shifting family roles—Mother's Day can bring up more pain than pampering. As I reflect on my own experience—from my childhood to my daughter's last Mother's Day at home before heading to college—I share the real talk I wish someone had told me years ago: It's okay to do this day your way.You'll also hear how job sharing isn't just about workplace flexibility—it's about building a life that allows space for real connection, caregiving, and yes, even grief. Whether you're a mom, have a mom, lost a mom, or have complicated feelings about the whole thing… this episode is for you.Here's What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why Mother's Day can bring up grief, pressure, and emotional landminesMy story of mothering, caregiving, and setting boundaries in a blended familyHow Alzheimer's changed my relationship with my mom—and gave something unexpected backWhat I want my daughter to know before she heads off to collegeWhy it's okay if Mother's Day sucked this year—and how to make next year betterA loving permission slip to celebrate your way (or not at all)Whether you're in the thick of motherhood, mourning, or making peace with what you've been handed, I hope this episode gives you space to breathe, reflect, and feel seen.❤️‍

39. If you ever thought, "It'll get easier when they get older," think again. This Mother's Day, we're diving into the mental gymnastics of parenting—from toddler tantrums to college applications—and how sharing the load can be your saving grace.In this episode, I share my personal journey of navigating the college application process with my daughter, Iris, and how my husband, Mike (aka "my guy"), and I have learned to co-parent effectively by job sharing the mental load. We'll explore practical ways to apply job sharing principles at home, especially during the chaotic month of May—affectionately dubbed "Mayday!"—filled with end-of-school activities, tests, and graduations.Plus, we'll uncover what moms really want for Mother's Day (hint: it's not flowers) and how everyone can pitch in to give Mom the gift of shared responsibility.Here's What You'll Learn:The concept of job sharing at home and how it can alleviate parental stress.How my husband and I co-parented our daughter through the college application to acceptance process, perhaps as hands-on on toddler days!What is Lead Parenting and how can this pitch-and-catch concept help me?Strategies to manage "Mayday" madness—the end of school countdown!—with shared responsibilities4 stats on what moms truly desire for Mother's Day (that might surprise you) Links Mentioned:Fair Play by Eve RodskyThe Double Shift substack by Katherine Goldstein Grab The Work Muse Guide to Job Sharing  ✅More from Me:Join Work Muse Facebook Community: Job Share Live Life + Slay Work ✅DM me on LinkedInEpisode Website: workmuse.com/39Transcript hereSend Melissa a Text Message.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS Thank you for supporting my bootstrapped social good business and mission! “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

38. Is Giving Up Control Holding You Back from Job Sharing? This Mindset Shift Changes EverythingIf you've ever said, “I love the idea of job sharing... but I don't think I could give up control,” this episode was made for you.One of the biggest fears I hear from my high-achieving, big-hearted clients is the worry that they won't be able to let go enough to be a good job share partner. The truth? That fear doesn't disqualify you. It's actually a sign you'd be great at it.In this episode, we're flipping the script on control and turning it into your job share superpower—with help from Mel Robbins' Let Them Theory. I'm sharing what I learned from my own journey of letting go (especially in my second job share when it didn't come easily), and how my biggest fear turned into my greatest growth.You'll also hear a powerful story from job sharers Amber and Kimberly about how their own letting go moment deepened their trust and teamwork.So whether you're feeling skeptical or just need a little permission to loosen your grip, today's episode is your invitation to breathe, trust, and discover the freedom job sharing can bring.Here's What You'll Learn:Why “control freak” energy isn't a dealbreaker—it's a strength in disguiseHow to use The Let Them Theory to reframe your job share fearsMy personal story of control, fear, and finally letting goA case study from real job sharers who've been there too3 mindset shifts that will help you trust more and stress lessLinks Mentioned:The Let Them Theory by Mel RobbinsSign up for Job Share Academy Waitlist  ✅Grab The Work Muse Guide to Job Sharing  ✅Join Work Muse Facebook Community: Job Share Live Life + Slay Work ✅DM me on LinkedInEpisode Website: workmuse.com/38Transcript hereSend Melissa a Text Message.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS Thank you for supporting my bootstrapped social good business and mission! “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

Here's what needs to change.Women's Equal Pay Day isn't just another date on the calendar—it marks how far into the year women must work to catch up to what men earned last year. And in 2025? The numbers still don't add up.The gender pay gap has barely budged, despite decades of advocacy.

32. Women, Work & the Pandemic: 5 Years Later, Have We Made Progress?It's been 5 years since the COVID lockdown. Here's how the pandemic reshaped careers, caregiving, and what's next for women in the workplace.In March 2020, the world changed overnight. Many of our kids left for Spring Break, never to return to school in person until the 2021-22 school year. For millions of women, the pandemic wasn't just a global crisis, it was a career crisis. Between job losses, caregiving responsibilities, and impossible choices, many were forced to make life-altering decisions. Now, five years later, where do we stand?In this special re-release, we revisit one of our most powerful episodes: Karen Browning's pandemic resignation letter. In the summer of 2021, Karen courageously put into words what so many women experienced at the height of the pandemic—being pushed to the brink and left without the support they needed to stay in the workforce.Browning wrote her resignation letter not just as a farewell but as a mic drop moment—a wake-up call for employers and a message of solidarity for women facing the same impossible choices. As we mark five years since lockdown, Karen's story is more relevant than ever.Here are 3 Key Takeaways from this episode: ✔ What Karen's resignation letter reveals about workplace culture, flexibility, and the support systems that failed women during the pandemic—and how many still feel the impact today. ✔ How to advocate for yourself in today's workforce—whether you're returning, pivoting, or demanding better from your employer. ✔ What's changed in the workplace (and what still needs to change) since 2020. Why This Episode Matters in 2025We often push through difficult times without fully processing their impact. Five years later, you have the opportunity to reflect—not just on the struggles you've faced, but on the lessons you can carry forward. Karen's story is a reminder that advocating for yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary. Whether you left a job, changed careers, or are still searching for work-life compatibility, this conversation will inspire you to take control of your future.Resources Mentioned In This Episode:

31. Why Did Google Erase International Women's Day? And Why DEI Matters More Than Ever.Something happened this International Women's Day that I can't stop thinking about—and I bet you missed it too.Google quietly erased International Women's Day from its calendar app. Not just that, but they also removed other major cultural observances like Women's History Month, Black History Month, Pride Month, and Holocaust Remembrance Day.Coincidence? I don't think so. It's not just about a missing calendar event. This is happening at a time when Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are under attack, despite overwhelming research proving that diverse companies outperform their competitors.If you care about gender equality, representation, and creating a future where all voices are valued, this conversation is for you.Here Are 3 Key Takeaways From This Episode:1️⃣ DEI is NOT just ‘good PR'—it's a business advantage. Companies with diverse leadership teams are 39% more likely to outperform their peers financially. Ignoring DEI isn't just wrong—it's bad business.2️⃣ Representation matters more than ever. Silencing historical and cultural observances is a deliberate act, one that signals to marginalized communities that their contributions don't matter.3️⃣ Women's careers (and leadership opportunities) depend on work structures that support them.Job sharing isn't just about flexibility—it's a career accelerator that allows women to balance work and life while moving into leadership roles.Resources Mentioned In This Episode:Research: McKinsey & Company's "Diversity Matters Even More" Report (2023)Article: Google & Apple's Calendar Controversy (NY Post & Politifact)More From Me:Want to explore job sharing? workmuse.com/guideJoin Job Share, Live Life + Slay Work community for like-minded folks who value flexibility AND their careersFollow me on LinkedInEpisode Website: workmuse.com/31Transcript here.Send Melissa a Text Message.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS Thank you for supporting my bootstrapped social good business and mission! “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

22. Steal my election week self-care strategies to stay sane over the next week, infused with a big dose of hope for Care.As we wrap up our 10-part lesson-focused series I'm calling Reaching Your Goals Despite [Fill in the blank - i.e. all we've been through/return to work mandates/layoffs etc.] and we hold onto our seats for the election of a lifetime, I am more hopeful for CARE than ever.With the untenable childcare and eldercare crisis pushing caregivers to the brink, we are at a tipping point that policymakers and companies can no longer ignore. Fresh off a roundtable for care leaders on the Austin leg of The Care Gap's Global Tour, I'm energized by those doing the work and the ideas flowing to close the care gap together. During election week, I'm feeling more hopeful about closing the Care Gap than ever. Kamala Harris is centering Care in her campaign. Nancy Pelosi says a Care Agenda will make the biggest difference in our economy. We are SO CLOSE. We've all been through a lot over the past several years, and you may be feeling election PTSD coming on like I am. Grab your fuzzy slippers, coziest PJs, and favorite comfort items...In episode 22, I'm sharing my self-care strategies to help me stay sane over the next week (including my back-pocket bonus strategy juuust in case...).

21. Kamala Harris announces a plan to support caregivers as the U.S. faces a childcare and eldercare crisis. The Care Movement's time has come and as a sandwich-generation dual caregiver, I'm here for it.This summer, a staggering study revealed the cost of childcare in all 50 states was more than two months of rent. Organizations like Moms First pushed CNN to center the care crisis on the presidential debate stage. And this past week, Vice President Kamala Harris announced her policy plan for Medicare to cover in-home healthcare—a game changer for family caregivers, up to 70% of whom are women. This is personal to me. In Episode 21, I open up about the day-to-day challenges of a week in the life of a working family caregiver with children living at home. Just how isolating, deflating, and impossible it can feel to be a family caregiver without caregiver support in the U.S. My care journey has lit a fire in my belly to help women in the same position advance their careers with time for their new caring responsibilities. Job sharing is one way caregivers can manage their careers and care without waiting on systemic change.In episode 21, I delve into how care policies for childcare and eldercare can impact gender equity in the workplace and improve caregivers' lives. I also share another childcare catch-22 recently laid-off mother Paige Connell called out on LinkedIn about the tough decision families face on whether or not to keep their kids in daycare when one parent is laid off. Bottom line: The U.S. has a care crisis, women are fed up, and with an election in the coming weeks, your vote is your voice and care is on the ballot. Links Mentioned:FREE Guide: The Work Muse Guide to Job Sharing: The Step-by-Step Blueprint to Creating a Successful Job ShareFamily Caregiver Alliance statisticsChildcare costs more than two months' rent in all 50 statesMoms FirstChamber of MothersCaring Across GenerationsMoms RisingThe Care GapFair PlayPaige Connell's LinkedIn postPaige Connell's InstagramFacebook Community: Job Share, Live Life + Slay WorkWork Muse InstagramWork Muse LiSend Melissa a Text Message.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS Thank you for supporting my bootstrapped social good business and mission! “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

15. Finding a job share partner is easier than you think. It's more like spotting a VW bug than finding a needle in a haystack—once you know what to look for. The first thing people ask me after discovering job sharing is often "How do I find a job share partner?" After all, there's a lot to consider. You're sharing your job, your income, and even, your personal lives. It seems elusive. How do you find the "perfect" partner and how do you ask them if they'd like to job share?  Today, we dispel the myth: I don't know anyone I can job share with. In episode 15, I break down who your partner needs to be and does not need to be and teach you my 5-step process for finding a job share partner. After job sharing for nearly a decade with four different partners, and helping professionals do the same for years, I can tell you that finding your partner and a few backups, even, is easier than you think. Links Mentioned:One more day!

14. Proof that job sharing can work in almost any job, including yours.I've discovered there are five reasons people are weary about creating, selling, and getting approval for their job share. So what are the five reasons? I can tell you what they are because they come up time and time again. They are that they don't have enough time, the right job, boss, or a partner to do it with, or that they can't afford to do it. I'm excited to kick off my Myth Busters series to address each of these myths starting with Myth #1: "I don't have time to create a job share" before a deep dive into Myth #2: "Job sharing won't work in my job."Have you wondered if job sharing can work in your job? Or whether job sharing can work in your industry? Today, we dispel this myth with research and evidence of the breadth of roles and industries job sharing can and has worked in, and why it is very likely to work in your job.Links Mentioned:Want to learn how to job share on a tight budget?

12. When a pause and real self-care are called for.If I know one thing for sure, it's this: There will always be challenging seasons to navigate when life moves fast and work is intense.End-of-school craziness paired with lax summer schedules can feel harder for parents of younger kids, trying to piece together childcare during working hours via relatives, friends, camps, or most likely, a combo. I find arranging offline activities, viable work experiences (dependent on parent help and chauffering), and the emotional ping pong of parenting pre-teens through teens who've fazed out of care, more stressful.Personally, the end-of-school craziness always hits me like a two-by-four. If there's one thing I miss about job sharing, it's having a work bestie to help me keep my well-being in check, even if it takes putting a blowhorn to my ear (because for real, that's what it takes) to signal it's time to pause and extend myself some real self-care. In Episode 12's Mindset Minisode, the unpolished me shares how I handle summer (am I talking about myself in the third person

11. Finance leader Liz Stapleton Zerella's moxie landed her a rare senior job share arrangement at Clorox with partner Michelle Shalauta.What the duo did next is remarkable. If you're wondering if job sharing will negatively impact your career progression, not only does research prove the opposite—According to The Job Share Project, over 70% of job share teams who apply are promoted together—but Liz and her job share partner Michelle successfully navigated a nine-year partnership in four roles while also winning promotion as a job share. As if that weren't impressive enough, they worked in a predominantly male division of Clorox in finance where job sharing was unheard of. So friend, take that to heart. Both are possible for you too. We had this phone meeting before this podcast was even a thing, and I think you'll find our conversation unique and special—like being a fly on the wall for two former job sharers who've finally connected as part of a secret society of job sharers to dish on what it was really like.

8. Working in a cross-generational job share propelled Mary Kaye Stuart and Sommer Hruska's momentum at work for a solid succession planning strategy for their employer—while giving both better mental and physical health.When you think of job sharing, you might not have considered sharing a job with a partner whose background is very different from yours. It was a pleasure to interview my guest co-hosts Mary Kaye Stuart and Sommer Hruska in Episode 8, not only because they are Work Muse clients, or because I go back a long time with Mary Kaye, but because their job share is such a beautiful example of an intergenerational or cross-generational job share—in this case, pairing a Boomer and a Gen Xer. The duo credits their generational differences with making their job share more effective. Mary Kaye and Sommer detail how they navigated their relationships with clients and coworkers, and why if they loved their jobs, they decided to job share in the first place. A doctor's sage advice for longevity and a young mother's determination to find more time for her children and homestead might have been the impetus. However, job sharing led both Mary Kaye and Sommer to enjoy other parts of life society "doesn't deem as worthy" like exploring passions such as writing and being truly present with one's children and self. In our live-to-work society, Mary Kaye and Sommer's story is the wake-up call many of us need and makes the case for considering different ways to work like sharing roles.Links mentioned:Jobshare Jumpstart: A LIVE Job Share Creation Bootcamp Episode Website: workmuse.com/8Transcript here.Jobshare Jumpstart 3-Day Bootcamp Info & RegistrationRATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

7. Debunking these 7 job share myths is key before proposing a job share to your employer. Don't let other people's misconceptions stand in your way of job sharing. These commonly held beliefs hold a majority of people who've heard of and thought about job sharing, from ever following through to create their job shares. Similarly, the same misinformed beliefs are why most employers turn down a job share, losing out on the productivity, engagement, and solution-driven results job sharing can bring. In Episode 7, I first break down which of your stakeholders need to understand the realities of job sharing. Then, I unveil how knowing these truths will help you implement 3 key essentials to putting your job share plan into place. Finally, I guide you through a deep dive into each of the seven myths to debunk each, myth by myth, based on research from the most comprehensive study to date. With nearly a decade of hands-on experience in job sharing and the same working with future to current job sharers and employers, I can confidently confirm that these myths and realities hold. There's one thing I know for sure: being prepared with facts will help you overcome many of the objections to job sharing you'll likely face when proposing a job share.Links mentioned:The Job Share Project Key FindingsEpisode Website: workmuse.com/7Transcript here.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

6. This powerful visualization exercise will help you envision what it's like to work in a job share in under 15 minutes.There are several barriers to job sharing that those interested in sharing roles need to overcome, but the hardest barrier to overcome might be you. It takes people a while to wrap their heads around job sharing. After all, there are two people, meaning two personalities bringing two sets of ideas into one full-time position. They're sharing their income, profession, and personal lives, even. It can seem brilliant but tricky to pull off successfully until you've experienced job sharing firsthand.So before you come across any outside obstacles or barriers to creating your job share, I need you to make sure you are not standing in your way. Visualizing the day-to-day life of one week as a job sharer with this powerful exercise will enable you to slip into the job share mindset and embrace what it's like to job share in less than 15 minutes.Links mentioned:FREE Guided Audio Visualization Exercise (to accompany Episode 6)Work Muse Job Share, Live Life + Slay Work Facebook GroupEpisode Website: workmuse.com/6Transcript here.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

5. They thought about it for years—corporate turned entrepreneurial job share team Gabriela Mercado and Gabriela Proctor open up about how they persisted for their job share's approval and what they'd do differently today, so you don't have to. You might be surprised to learn how job sharing can positively impact your career and income. Tapping into one another's strengths gave the duo the "perfect formula" for career success so much so that, unbelievably, the minute GX2 (their job share nickname)  began job sharing, not only did they make more income than working full-time, but the job itself became a fun adventure.  In episode 5, GX2 shares how they took their job share from the corporate world into their entrepreneurial journey. The duo expands upon how job sharing impacted their household labor and Mental Load while allowing them to lean into the parts of parenting they enjoyed most but were previously unable to do, like volunteering for field trips once they found themselves able to "move through both worlds fully and more intentionally."GX2's message to you: Educate yourself, create a plan to job share, but don't wait—instead, go for it.Links mentioned:Work Muse Job Share Project Case Study VideosEpisode Website: workmuse.com/5Transcript here.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

4. To beat imposter syndrome and manifest your job share, you have to believe you can job share. Once a skeptic, I've become a believer after leaning into manifestation during my most challenging season of life. You might be thinking, "Easy for you to say, Melissa. You're one of the lucky few who've job shared."  I know it may be easier said than done, but I also know there are more job sharers (past or present) out there than you think—probably even in your circle.There's a dirty little secret that plagues nearly all job sharers, including me—it took us longer to job share than we would have liked. Much much longer. Had we faced down our fears of the "right timing, the "right boss," or the "right job" sooner, we could have reaped job sharing's massive personal AND professional benefits sooner. In Episode 4's Mindset Minisode, I distill two personal obstacles you need to understand about job sharing and a powerful 1-minute exercise to help you manifest your (fill in the blank—job share/promotion/new job/work-life goal/flex work practice). I also divulge the mantra I've adopted over the past year that keeps my imposter syndrome from ever rearing its ugly little head.

What happened when one mom, pushed to the brink during the pandemic, wrote a resignation letter with a major mic drop. In this episode, Karen Browning summoned up the courage to be vulnerable and transparently spell out what she needed and what her employer could have done to keep her—to help those coming behind her (AKA you, friend). Karen sat down to have a frank discussion with me about what women are facing now, and what they can do about it. As a society, we tend to push through difficult times without taking the time to reflect. While the pandemic is behind us, as Karen says, "We are so different on the other side." An optimist at heart, I believe, as does Karen, that it changed us for the better. As we face a tipping point with layoffs and chronic stress, you can learn a lot from Karen's experience for how to put yourself first and create the life you deserve.Links mentioned in this episode:Women @ Work 2022 Deloitte Global StudyHBR: Off-Ramps and On-Ramps: Keeping Talented Women on the Road to SuccessJob Share, Live Life & Slay Work Facebook Community Transcription available here.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”
