Unworking the Dream: Freedom in a Post-Job World

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!In this episode of Woman Uncaged, we explore the radical idea of a post-job world. Inspired by the rise of AI and automation, we unpack what it could mean—socially, economically, emotionally—to live in a world where traditional jobs are no longer the default. Rather than succumbing to fear or dystopian visions, we wonder aloud: what if this shift opened the door to more creativity, rest, equity, and community? What if universal basic income or healthcare became the foundation for a society not built around exhaustion and survival, but around purpose, care, and possibility? From unschooling roots to feminist reflections on work, identity, and worth, this episode invites listeners to reimagine what it means to be human when no one owns your hours. Books Mentioned:Unjobbing: The Adult Liberation Handbook by Michael FoglerMoral Ambition: Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference by Rutger BregmanMaking a Living Without a Job by Barbara Winter The War on Normal People by Andrew YangBullshit Jobs by David GraeberSupport 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].
