38. Is Giving Up Control Holding You Back from Job Sharing? This Mindset Shift Changes Everything

If you’ve ever said, “I love the idea of job sharing... but I don’t think I could give up control,” this episode was made for you.

One of the biggest fears I hear from my high-achieving, big-hearted clients is the worry that they won’t be able to let go enough to be a good job share partner. The truth? That fear doesn’t disqualify you. It’s actually a sign you’d be great at it.

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on control and turning it into your job share superpower—with help from Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory. I’m sharing what I learned from my own journey of letting go (especially in my second job share when it didn’t come easily), and how my biggest fear turned into my greatest growth.

You’ll also hear a powerful story from job sharers Amber and Kimberly about how their own letting go moment deepened their trust and teamwork.

So whether you’re feeling skeptical or just need a little permission to loosen your grip, today’s episode is your invitation to breathe, trust, and discover the freedom job sharing can bring.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

  • Why “control freak” energy isn’t a dealbreaker—it’s a strength in disguise
  • How to use The Let Them Theory to reframe your job share fears
  • My personal story of control, fear, and finally letting go
  • A case study from real job sharers who’ve been there too
  • 3 mindset shifts that will help you trust more and stress less
