Episode Synopsis

Episode 18: Why I’m Hitting Record AgainPodcast: Work It, RemoteHost: Erika Joseph BergenAfter a nine-month pause, Work It, Remote is back — and in this update episode, host Erika Joseph Bergen shares why she stepped away, what she learned during the break, and how the podcast is evolving moving forward.Originally launched as a space to explore remote work through curiosity and community, the show slowly began to feel heavier — more focused on best practices, expert advice, and “shoulds.” In this episode, Erika reflects honestly on that shift and explains why she’s returning to a more personal, story-driven approach centered on noticing, learning in real time, and naming the things we don’t always say out loud about work.She also looks back at the most-listened-to episodes from past seasons — including conversations on remote work fundamentals, employee rights, AI in hiring, and navigating work with chronic illness — and shares how those themes are shaping what comes next.Going forward, Work It, Remote will release episodes on a monthly cadence and focus on the intersection of remote and flexible work, leadership, and identity.If you’re navigating remote or flexible work, leading in a distributed environment, or simply looking for a thoughtful space to process how work is changing, you’re in the right place.If this episode resonates, subscribe to the podcast so you’re notified when new monthly episodes are released — and feel free to share it with someone navigating work in this moment.Listen to the top 5 episodes from last season: 5.
