As we wind down season two of the Work From Home Forever podcast for the summer, we will bring you some of our favorite episodes from seasons one and two.

In this Best Of episode, we want to replay our original episode with Maria Healey. Maria has a great story about how the pandemic forced her to rethink priorities and how she sought out remote work and is thriving in a fully remote environment. ________________________  Maria Healey shares her journey from being a stay-at-home mom to working in various industries, including gaming and employment law, before finding success in remote work.

Maria discusses her background, including her experience in the gaming industry and her transition to remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As an "ex-introvert," Maria shares how she pushed herself outside her comfort zone by taking on roles like a bartender to improve her social skills.
