Two Part-Time Jobs Make a Whole

Episode 15: Two Part-Time Jobs Make a Whole

Courtney sits down with her high school friend Noelle Brochu to talk about the increasingly appealing alternative to having one traditional “dream job”: piecing together a life from work that actually fits you.

Noelle shares how one disastrous day at a divorce law office led to dog walking, product photography, personal assistant work, and helping run Aware House —a small business supporting products made in the USA. She and Courtney talk about building a career through connections, the freedom of flexible work, AI’s impact on creative jobs, and why changing direction doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

But first, Courtney recaps a truly chaotic wedding weekend involving an attempted Boston meet-cute, an emergency blue Band-Aid, a weighted-stuffed-animal request, and several decisions that probably should not have been made near an open bar.

It’s a conversation about unconventional careers, entering your thirties with fewer cares to give, and remembering that you can become something new at any age—as long as you’re willing to reciprocate the weirdness.
