Putting Work In Its Place!

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!Welcome to Episode 12, Season 2 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! Today we return to a favorite topic of ours: work and money-making and how they have taken on an outlandish importance in our modern lives. In the episode, we dive into: - An example of how regular work can support what matters in our lives without taking over our lives- How things might look different if we treated money like firewood- How the industrial revolution shifted how we approach work- The way an 8-hour workday makes very little sense in most cases- Making our jobs work for us rather than us simply working for them- Examples of different ways of living and working that we don't typically hear about- Resisting the pressure to make work the organizing principle of our lives- Why Laura doesn't like money goals even though she's a money coach!- Why both Laura and Linda fully support a liberal arts education- How easy the cages are to jump into even when we don't consciously want to- What we might get to reclaim as human beings, and what could we do with our time, if we were less consumed with work- How difficult it is to know when we've done "enough" work, especially when we work for ourselves- Building in and embracing seasonality in our production, work, and businesses- Not only the external cages, but how we have internalized these societal voicesResources:Michael NeillHow to Be Idle: A Loafer's Manifesto by Tom HodgkinsonWomen Rowing North: Navigating Life's Currents and Flourishing as We Age by Mary Pipher Redefining Rich: Achieving True Wealth with Small Business by Shannon HayesLife Reinvention Sessions: If you'd like to nab one, visit:https://lauragatesluptonmswcpc.as.me/lifereinventionSupport the show~Linda's book: Homecoming: One Woman's Story of Dismantling Her Inner Cage and Freeing Her Wild Feminine Soul   ~Laura's Monday Money Missives: https://goodwithmoney.substack.com/~Linda's Wild Woman in the Burbs: https://lindasewalliuskatz.substack.com/Support the Show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2281161/supporters/newEmail us: [email protected].
