Hello Work From Home Forever fans. We are still on summer break and we will be back later in August with all new episodes in Season 2. We’ve already had some amazing conversations with Doris and Katie that we can’t wait to share with you.

In the meantime, if you are looking for more Work From Home content while we’re away, we wanted to share a recent episode from our friends at the Long-Distance Worklife podcast.

Hosts Marisa and Wayne bring a lot of energy on the podcast and the fact they know each other well and enjoy their conversations makes this a must-listen for me.

This episode addresses how to avoid relationship strain while working from home. Here are the original show notes for this episode:

For some of us, working from home means having your home to yourself. But for many, including hosts Wayne and Marisa, there are other people at home while you're working. In this episode, we talk about some of the struggles that can happen when you can't separate your home and work life, how to create boundaries between you and others in your home so you can get some work done, and ways to connect with others throughout the day so they don't feel neglected.

Feed Drop - Undiscovered Entrepreneur

We are a week away from the launch of Season Two where we will listen to Doris’ work from home forever story. Doris is a Travel and Relocation Coach and she and her husband and three kids have been living, working and traveling throughout the world every two years. She’s got an amazing story and I can’t wait for you to listen to it. Her story airs next week!

In the meantime, we have one more Feed Drop episode and this is from our friends at the Undiscovered Entrepreneur ..Start-up, online business, podcast hosted by DJ Skoob.

DJ Skoob and I connected as indie podcasters often do to find ways to collaborate. We don’t have big budgets like the other podcasts that are backed by big studios, so it’s important to provide other avenues for our voices to be heard. In this solo episode, DJ Skoob answers four main questions to find your Zone of Genius.

These questions are:

What do you most love to do?
What work do you do that doesn't feel like work?
What produces the highest ratio of satisfaction and abundance to the amount of time spent?
What is a unique priceless gift that you carry within yourself?

This episode really resonated with me because DJ Skoob’s motivations, especially around podcasting, sound really similar to my story. If podcasting your thing, these questions are also a great way to reflect on your goals and how you’re tracking to those goals.

And if you’re like many who are getting those Return to Office mandates heading into the fall, maybe this is an opportunity for you to find out what really drives you, and take those first steps to find your own path, whether that’s in a remote job, or even going out on your own.

Speaking of Return to Office, we would love for you to leave us a note on our website or even a voicemail about your Return to Office stories. We’d love to share those comments and thoughts about the subject on our podcast in a future episode.
In the meantime, please take a listen to DJ Skoob of the Undiscovered Entrepreneur podcast. If you like his show, please check out their other episodes on all the major podcast platforms and let him know you heard him on the Work From Home Forever podcast.
