✨ 47% of Australians live with a chronic illness, 70% of whom also work ✨ That's 6.6 million women in Australia living and working with chronic illness

 

So why don't we talk about this more?

🦸‍♀️ Michelle is on a mission to de-shame chronic illness, illuminate the stories of those 6.6 million Australian women, and help us all see their unique strengths and value.

 

We talk about:

👉 Society's outdated and untrue story and idea of illness and wellness

👉 Her own experience of 2 chronic illnesses and how she now helps women in this space

👉 The 'hero's journey' we see portrayed so often, and the power of illuminating the 'heroin's journey' instead - including some incredible ancient mythology

👉 How the pandemic has changed opinions and ideas on chronic illness

👉 Where women with chronic illness can find connection, community and 'helpful help'

👉 How those people's family, friends, colleagues, leaders and communities can be more 'helpful helpers'

👉 Michelle's wish for women living with chronic illness and how we can all help
