Episode 19: Through the Looking Glass of Careers

Ever felt overwhelmed by the never-ending to-do list of home renovations, or pondered the luxury of hiring out tedious tasks like painting? We've been there too, and in our latest chat, we spill the beans—literally—on the trials of DIY, the allure of outsourcing, and the hefty price tag of local coffee roasts. Pour yourself a cup and join us as we debate the merits of home-brewed java against the café scene.  Careers aren't just jobs; they're the rich tapestry woven from each chapter of our lives. In this heart-to-heart, we walk through the corridors of our pasts—from sales to motherhood to the sharp world of barbery—and how these experiences shape our very identities. Get ready to feel the support of our collective journey as we dissect societal expectations and gender roles. Plus, we travel back to the dreams of our younger selves, igniting passion for music and hairstyling, and take a candid look at the hospitality industry's trials, toying with the idea of investing in a cherished local venue.Then, we pull back the curtain on the academic hustle with a part-time professor, laughing and wincing at the flood of emails and the surprise of virtual observations by the dean. As we explore the legal maze of after-hours work communication, we stand in solidarity with adjunct faculty fighting for fair treatment. And what's a reunion without friends? Joe and Kelly drop by to share their mental health journeys and tease Joe's upcoming podcast, ensuring that our conversation on life, laughter, and everything in between keeps you hooked until the last laugh.Happy to help.
