With our second episode in the career-finding guidebook of this themed-group, the focus goes right to entrepreneurship, and all of you young adults that want to build your own businesses. Because really…who could make a better understanding supervisor about balancing work and health struggles than you as the boss? And this episode gets to be fun for two reasons: our special guest is in-studio, AND like our founder, she’s a fellow #bosslady friend named Emily Levy. As the CEO of Mighty Well, a line of fashionably functional medical accessories, Emily as learned the ropes of building a company while also balancing her Neurological Lyme Disease, and she’s only 24 years old. In this episode, Dominique and Emily talk about the best health hacks of organizing that work and medical schedule—with lots of timer-reminders and color-coordination, the differences between going solo vs having co-founders when you are an owner with illness, how to chat up AND rock your spoonie boss status with those questioning how you can “do it all” with illness/disability, the powers behind inclusive representation in hiring anyone from employees to interns and volunteers that have all sorts of illnesses, and giving out tips on how to take your passions to motivate your work when you’re having back health days—whether that’s having a back-up plan of working from bed, or building days of rest into the company schedule. It’s a girl power episode with #InvisiYouth today, and it’s one that’s jam-packed with fun and facts till the very last second.
