This past week, I was lucky enough to be interviewed (you can listen here) by an amazing woman, Jo Davidson who hosts and produces Zentertainment Radio.
When she first contacted me, Jo initially asked me to talk about our book, Women Work and Autoimmune Disease: Keep Working, Girlfriend! But it soon became clear that Jo had […]
I’ve read with interest some of the concerns voiced in the posts and reviews about Women, Work and Autoimmune Disease, and our point of view.

People ask me, “Why does your website, cicoach.com focus on “professionals?” And, “Why does your book (Women, Work and Autoimmune Disease:Keep Working Girlfriend!) seem to focus on well-educated and well-heeled career oriented women? ”

And in the spirit of creating conversation and getting your thoughts. Please – comment […]
I’ve been spending this past few weeks writing about and thinking about the value of vacations to self-employed professionals, and reading pathetic statistics about how so many people - employees and business owners - are failing to take them with much regularity. I’m even running a free tele-seminar program about taking vacations, as it’s a […]
Upon reading Rosalind’s post in her last blog entry for Working with Chronic Illness I was so impressed with her commitment to do what she wanted as often as possible, and to manage all the symptoms of her various body issues. It reminded me of how easy it can be to be stopped by our […]
Have you noticed the wave of blogging going on among women with chronic illness? Do you find it helpful?
New York Times blogger, Paula Kamen, writes: “The basic message of the growing number of young women blogging about chronic illness - who have just become a significant force only in […]
Today the sun was shining (hey, I live in Southern California), and I was in my front yard planting flowers in my garden. So, I wondered could I have done this back in the day when I wasn’t feeling as well? At my very worst no way, but with a some return of […]
