Entrepreneurship is often a personal journey, but that doesn't mean you have to do it alone! Lauren Elizabeth Perna's advice for starting a business while reducing overwhelm is to seek out people who’ve been in your shoes and are willing to share their advice. If you've caught yourself looking for answers like... ?? Should I set my business up as a sole proprietorship or LLC? ?? Who is an accountant I can work with who has experience with side hustlers? ?? What business software should I be using? ...then you need to get connected with a community of women who GET it and want you to succeed! Ditch doom-scrolling to find the answers you're looking for and go straight to women who have been there. ? As a member of the Chronic Boss Collective community, you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. We're like-minded, ambitious women in business living with chronic conditions who are prioritizing our careers AND our health. Unlike traditional networking groups, we understand the unpredictability of chronic illness. We offer flexible, virtual support – no penalties for taking a rest day – and programming that integrates wellness with career growth. Ready to get plugged into our network of women from healthcare, marketing, content creation, and other industries? ?

In honor of Women's History Month I need to take a quick moment to introduce a very important woman to anyone who does not yet know her... You know those group projects where you're the only one getting anything done? The work will be it's best because you rock but you'll be resentful because no one stepped up to help? This is NOT what it's like working with Mackenzie Abramson, MPH!!!! We have had the absolute pleasure of connecting through the Chronic Boss Collective and have been SUCCEEDING together ever since that day. The accomplishments and strides I have had in my business would have never come to be if Mackenzie wasn't showing up for her half of the project each and every time. Sometimes she's responsible for 70 and I cover the other 30 and sometimes it's the other way around but that's what a partnership is. 2025 will be the year we actually meet in person but none of this would have been possible without the beautiful network we discovered with the other powerhouse #chronicbosses!! #chronicboss #womenshistorymonth

?? Do you know your rights in the workplace? The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is there to protect all professionals living with a chronic illness or disability, so you can feel empowered advocating for the accommodations you need! The ADA ensures that employees with disabilities—including chronic conditions—are entitled to reasonable accommodations to help them perform their jobs effectively. This could mean flexible work hours, remote work options, assistive technology, or even modifications to your workspace. ?? Knowledge is power! If you’re struggling at work or unsure how to ask for support, this blog breaks down your rights and how to advocate for yourself. ??

Empowered women lift each other up, persevere in tough times, and live on their terms. ??? And as Chronic Bosses, we can show the future generation that we CAN be badass bosses at work without buying into a culture of competition and 'the grind.' Let's create success on our own terms and share it with others, whether that's by lending advice, being a mentor, or hiring women. That's how we keep making progress towards gender inclusion and equality at all levels. #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #InternationalWomensDay #IWD
