Working With An Illness

In this podcast episode, Working With An Illness, Elizabeth speaks with guests Belle of Seams So Me and Alexa of The Wannabe Grandma about their health challenges.  You’ll want to listen in and hear just how inspiring these ladies are, as they share how they manage their jobs while dealing daily with the effects of their autoimmune diseases.

We all are going through something in our lives that others just might not see. Find out how, what traditionally could look like a frustrating set back, could actually be the catalyst for success! 

Elizabeth shares:
