Episode 5: Managing Chronic Illness & a Full-Time Job
In this weeks episode, we are discussing the judgement and fear that comes along with having a chronic illness and a full-time job. We have both had our own experiences in an office environment while dealing with debilitating symptoms like fatigue, nausea, or brain fog. Throughout the years, we have learned how to manage the stress of a job and heal at the same time. Meal prep, arthritis tools, energy healing, and how to get by unnoticed at a happy hour are just a few of the topics we dive into. And a surprise singing performance from Mel as Amanda's prize for winning our Bachelor bet! You don't want to miss this one!
