Careers
Juggling a career, personal life and chronic illness is tough. We've gathered lots of resources to help you stay working and achieve your career goals.
Balancing act: Thoughts on work, home life and hula hooping
Living with a chronic illness is hard enough; throw in a career, and remembering to find time to live and really enjoy life can be a challenge. Find what's important to you, even if it's something so simple as a circle that takes you back to your childhood. Come with me on a journey of a career with a reward of hula hooping and meeting new people.

Time of transition, and time of thanks: A personal note from ChronicBabe founder Jenni Prokopy
I usually look upon Thanksgiving as a time to pig out. Seriously. I love all the sweets, the generations-old recipes, the way I feel spoiled at the homes of friends who feed me like I've been on a starvation diet for days. But this year, Thanksgiving is feeling very different, and I'm compelled to talk to you personally about why this year is so special. (Aw, I sound like a frickin' Hallmark card!)

Managing a mean manager: How one babe balanced her career AND her health
Those of us who live with a chronic illness know that sometimes, you come into contact with people who don't really understand. That experience can be difficult to cope with, but usually we can choose to spend our time with people who do understand and are able to be supportive. It's a bit harder when the person who doesn't "get it" is your boss. Learn what steps one Babe took to create a more supportive work environment in spite of a short-sighted supervisor.

A reader asks: should I disclose my illness during a job interview?
A reader encounters a lack of compassion (and understanding) when she discloses her illness during a pre-interview phone call with a prospective employer. She wonders, "what could I have done differently?" In a twist on our "Ask the Babe" series, where real readers ask questions and a panel of Babes offers advice, this question is answered by Rosalind Joffe of CICoach.com, a career expert who coaches folks with chronic illness around workplace issues.
