Thank you to journalist Victoria Stokes for this important article in Image Magazine about dealing with chronic illness as a businesswoman.
As some of you already know I've been dealing with chronic foot pain for about 10 years now. My experience and the impact it's had on my life are included in this article with two other Irish business women.
You'll laugh when you hear me say I never realised it was a chronic condition until I was interviewed for this article. I'd become so used to putting coping strategies in place to deal with the pain that it had become second nature to me - my "normal" if you like. Happily I've had surgery earlier this year and I am on the journey to walking properly again but it has truly been a long, long road.
Victoria mentions in the article that a recent study indicates that by 2030, 40% of the working age population will have at least one chronic, work limiting condition.
Thank you Victoria and Image Magazine for raising awareness of this issue for entrepreneurs and business women out there.
