The Part-Time Paradox: 5 Traps You Must Avoid if Considering Part-Time Work


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered if going part-time could be the key to achieving work-life balance and avoiding burnout? We're here to tell you that it might not be the answer you're looking for, and without particular skills and strategies, it’s rarely the holy grail. 

In this episode, we discuss the five traps women fall into, including being unable to set or maintain boundaries, disconnecting from work, and the emotional pollution that follows us in all areas of life.  

Successful part-time work requires a different type of confidence that goes beyond ‘fake it till you make it.’ It’s the level of confidence where you have nothing to prove, easily speak up and don’t need to justify your schedule. In this episode, we share insights on how these traps might show up subtly and, importantly, strategies to avoid them. 

Whether you're considering part-time work or are already in a part-time role, this episode will provide invaluable advice to ensure you avoid the pitfalls many women fall victim to.
