    Welcome to Episode 12, Season 2 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! Today we return to a favorite topic of ours: work and money-making and how they have taken on an outlandish importance in our modern lives.

    In the episode, we dive into:

    - An example of how regular work can support what matters in our lives without taking over our lives
    - How things might look different if we treated money like firewood
    - How the industrial revolution shifted how we approach work
    - The way an 8-hour workday makes very little sense in most cases
    - Making our jobs work for us rather than us simply working for them
    - Examples of different ways of living and working that we don't typically hear about
    - Resisting the pressure to make work the organizing principle of our lives
    - Why Laura doesn't like money goals even though she's a money coach!
    - Why both Laura and Linda fully support a liberal arts education
    - How easy the cages are to jump into even when we don't consciously want to
    - What we might get to reclaim as human beings, and what could we do with our time, if we were less consumed with work
    - How difficult it is to know when we've done "enough" work, especially when we work for ourselves
    - Building in and embracing seasonality in our production, work, and businesses
    - Not only the external cages, but how we have internalized these societal voices
