    In Episode 5 of the i am Laura Podcast - Juggling Chronic Illness, Kids, a Job and a Dream, we dive into the challenges of balancing a career while living with a chronic illness, especially when it’s invisible to others. We discuss the frustration and discrimination that can arise in the workplace due to a lack of understanding and compassion. It’s not something we choose, and yet we often face additional hurdles simply trying to do our jobs well.

    How we can raise awareness, advocate for fair treatment, and continue to pursue our careers and dreams despite the obstacles.

    In this episode, I delve into the daily reality of living with chronic illness while trying to maintain a semblance of normality. We often deny our pain and conditions because life must go on, which leads to the people around us frequently failing to understand what is really happening. Off-the-cuff comments about weight loss or referring to my facial pain as headaches, highlights this lack of empathy. All of this makes it easier for us to hide, especially when our conditions are invisible.

    Acknowledging and accepting our reality is crucial. It empowers us, helps us regain control, and provides clarity. I have shared two powerful techniques that I used during my lowest moments in the companion booklet available for download in the show notes. These methods can really help you feel clearer, more like yourself and help you to reclaim your power.
