Building a Flexible Career with a Chronic Illness

I left “corporate America” to start my own business a couple of years before I got smacked over the head with multiple autoimmune diseases. I went from juggling four or five clients and working 50-60 hours a week to barely handling one or two clients and working 15 hours a week.

I had to learn how to adjust my business so it protected my energy while still paying the bills. And I still wanted to feel lit up by the work I was doing. Through some trial and error, and a good amount of mistakes, I created a career portfolio-a patchwork of jobs that is manageable with chronic symptoms and helps me feel fulfilled. I share how I did it, along with other insightful and inspiring stories, in my next book, Chronically Ill, Wildly Capable.

Cover reveal time!

The busted corporate career ladder represents ditching traditional work standards and expectations that weren’t created with us in mind. The vines represent something new growing from difficult seasons.

I hope you like it, and I can’t wait for you to read it!
