Entrepreneurship is often painted as hustle, consistency, and 5 a.m. mornings. But when you live with chronic illness, that version of productivity just doesn’t fit. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what it really looks like to run a business when your body has other plans. From working in bed with a laptop tray to building flexible schedules that honor your energy, I’ll share the practices and mindset shifts that keep me moving forward—slowly, but steadily. You’ll learn how to theme your days, use brain dumps to clear mental clutter, set flexible priorities, and reframe rest as part of the work. If you’ve ever doubted your worth or felt “behind” because of chronic illness, this conversation will remind you: you’re not lazy, you’re not failing—you’re building something beautiful, at your pace.

• “Done is often much better than perfect.”
• “Rest isn’t for the lazy—rest is part of the work.”
• “I am building a business that works with my body, not against it.”
• “You’re not lazy, you’re not flaky. You’re living in a body with real limitations and you’re still showing up—that’s huge.”
