1. Your Job Share 101 and my story—the good, the bad, and the ugly.
What is job sharing? To start with, job sharing is the flexible work practice that transformed my work-life balance and career trajectory for nearly a decade in the 24/7 fast-paced radio industry. At Work Muse, we define job sharing as a partnership between two professionals to share the responsibilities of one full-time position.
Teaching companies and people how to create their successful job shares to live life + slay work has been the greatest honor of my life. I found more happiness in work and life than I ever imagined possible and a bold new way to work achieving greater results than I ever could solo by leveraging two minds and skill sets in one full-time position. Beyond that, job sharing brought an equal caregiving aspect to my marriage (including the mental load!) leading to more equality at work AND at home.

Seeing a job share team in practice opened my eyes to sharing my job, and when I was ready to job share, empowered me to pursue this innovative way to work. So in Episode 1, I'm sharing my personal job share story and how I created my four job share partnerships with you. Despite the challenges I faced, I never wanted to work any other way. I founded Work Muse so you don’t have to go through the pains I did to level up at work with a capable partner while reclaiming HALF your time—in whatever shoes you choose.

This is my story and how you too can create your own successful job share.
