73: 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.
