So far all the chronicpreneurs we’ve featured on the PGP podcast have been solopreneurs. But today we’re featuring two friends who have combined teaching Pilates with a thriving community into a business. 

Cassie and Chelsea met teaching Pilates before joining forces to form a chronic illness support group in Wichita Kansas. During the pandemic, they moved their group online (The Wellness Hub), and started a podcast - The Real Life Show: Living with a Chronic Illness. They continue to grow their community while building their Pilates teaching schedules.

Of the two, Cassie is the chronic illness overachiever, while Chelsea has family links to the chronic illness community. But the fact that they don’t have a shared language of health experience is one of the things that really plays into how they work together. 

I loved spending time with these two friends - and if you do too, you should join the Patients Getting Paid Community, because they’re both members!

In this episode:

• Cassie’s diagnoses, how she met Chelsea, and why they decided to work together
• Why their plans were upended by the pandemic but led to the formation of The Wellness Hub online community
• The importance of passive income to their business
• Problems they have both faced with regards to health insurance through being self-employed
• Their advice for other budding chronicpreneurs!
