Hello everyone! How are you doing out there?
Here are some scary statistics:
In the United States, 6 in 10 or 60% of Americans have 1 chronic condition.
4 in 10 or 40% of Americans have more than 1 chronic condition.
This information is from the Centers for Disease Control.
This is unbelievable.
When I met my guest, Julie Hamilton, fibromyalgia coach, I knew that I needed to talk with her about this silent epidemic.
During my chat with Julie, we discussed:
● Julie’s diagnosis of fibromyalgia and her healing journey
● How she advocated for herself, especially being in Human Resources and understanding her rights
● Julie shared more information on FMLA policies and other advice she would provide employees with a chronic illness, as well as managers and employees supporting those with chronic health conditions.
● How we can build more inclusive workplaces that support so many people in the United States and worldwide.
We touch on Julie’s book, Chronic Illness at Work: How Managers Can Support Employees with Chronic Illness.
And more.
