Have you ever had to ask yourself: “Is this career worth getting sick for?” 

In this solo episode, I take you behind the scenes of a new project launching the Hurdle2Hope Journal on LinkedIn and share the very first entry that sparked it all. It’s a raw reflection on career, chronic illness, and the pivotal question that changed the course of my life. 

This episode is especially for those living with a health condition, navigating the complex balance between work and wellbeing. If your job is taking more than your body can give, this conversation offers space to reflect, reconnect with what matters, and explore what’s possible when health is truly prioritised.
