Labor Pains: Working While Chronically Ill

The Unchosen Fork

Sarah and Kelly welcome guest host, Rosalind Joffe, to discuss all the challenges and benefits of working while chronically ill.
After being diagnosed, one of the next largest concerns is working. Can you still do your job with your condition? How much do you disclose at work? What else should I be considering?
Sarah and Kelly cover all this with Rosalind, who has coached others on these questions for over 20 years. Come for the critical career questions. Stay for Sarah's oversharing, yet again.
Join us on the Unchosen Fork.
