Welcome Back, Work Wives... do you have a minute?

After our episode last week, and some direct but honest conversations between us, we have a brief update on our plans for the Dear Work Wives podcast.

TLDR: We're taking a little pause. We're NOT done talking about toxic work cultures, but we need a breather to strategize how to have these conversations most effectively.

So we won't see you next Tuesday, but we'll be back!

In the meantime, be sure to submit all of your stories at www.dearworkwives.com!

Welcome back, Work Wives!

We're throwing the entire script in the trash for this episode, and instead, you're going to sit in for an impromptu 1:1 meeting between us about the future of Dear Work Wives, and our own working dynamics lately.

• If you're curious about our Dear Work Wives discussion... skip to 19:52.

• If you want to watch us resolve a conflict LIVE and completely unplanned, skip to 27:39.
• And if you really want to watch us get to the root of why this call went slightly sideways, jump to 40:36

We've never aired anything like this episode, so it's fitting it's also the one where we're discussing the future of the podcast!

Be sure to let us know what you think!

Welcome back, Work Wives!

We start this episode by discussing this article from Fast Company based on survey results from Headspace that outlines why and how workplace stress is leading to more and more divorces for Gen-X.

Today's stories stay on the theme of how work impacts your home life:

1. Should you tell your brand new boss that your parent just died even if you aren't looking for bereavement time? (32:00)
2. Advice for changing careers after having children. (37:13)
3. Our thoughts on whether it's possible to find a high-paying job with low stress and lots of flexibility? (43:29)
