47. Summer prep for your biggest career move yet? It starts with knowing if job sharing is right for you.

Still on the fence about creating a job share arrangement? I'm bringing back this essential lesson with 6 reasons why job sharing might be the best decision you could make for your career and life—plus how to know if you're ready to take the leap.

Just picture this: powering down every Wednesday (your new FriYAY!) and never again logging on into the wee hours. Saying goodbye to the guilt of putting work first or family first, once and for all. Achieving better results leveraging two minds in one job than you ever could solo, while nurturing a supportive relationship with a partner who's got your back in work AND life.

This, my friends, is the rewarding life of job sharing—and it might be exactly what you've been looking for.

Here's what we cover in this episode:

  • The 4 main types of people who thrive most with job sharing (plus the often-overlooked 5th type)
  • Why knowing your "why" is everything when it comes to job sharing success
  • 6 life-changing reasons job sharing transforms both work and life
  • The peace of mind benefits no other flexible work practice can deliver
  • How job sharing releases you from guilt at work AND at home
  • Why boundaries become crystal clear when you job share
  • The secret relationship benefit that makes work actually fun
