In this episode of Rarely Typical, I sit down with friends in the PAH community, Chelsea + Lisa, to talk about what it really looks like to balance work and Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. We share candid conversations about the challenges of managing symptoms, juggling frequent doctor’s appointments, and even recovering from surgeries—all while trying to maintain a career.

We dive into the importance of workplace accommodations, the role of flexibility, and how to have honest conversations with employers about your needs. We also share practical advice for others navigating their own careers while managing PAH—reminders that you can still find purpose and meaning in your work, even if it looks different than you first imagined.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in the middle of your career, or supporting someone with PAH, this conversation offers both hope and tangible tools for making work more sustainable alongside chronic illness.
