This is a really personally episode because I rarely talk about having two chronic illnesses. Lots of people know that I have chronic migraines, but most people don’t know that I have bipolar disorder.

It’s not easy being an entrepreneur with a chronic illness.

In the entrepreneur world, no one makes accommodations for us. We have to make them for ourselves.

We have to define success for ourselves. We have to decide what we’re willing to do and what we’re willing to risk in order to achieve the success we want.

With two chronic illnesses, I’m not willing to risk a 5-day migraine or full-blown mania in order to achieve someone else’s definition of success. I set goals that work for me on my own timeline—one that works for me.

Check out the full episode for my story and my tips!

I have such a treat for you today! I’m chatting with singer/songwriter and long-time activist Elaine Romanelli about easy ways to make activism a part of your everyday life. No, you don’t have to march on Washington, if that’s not your thing! Elaine explains how activism is like a pedicure. You can get by and just cut your nails, or you can go for the full spa treatment and totally nourish yourself. Take a listen to find out what she means!

As an entrepreneur herself, Elaine talks about how important it is to outsource as much as you can in both your business and your daily life. She discusses self-care and “other-care”—not where we’re taking care of others, but rather where we have other people take care of us. Imagine that!

We discuss how exhausted everyone is from the constant barrage of bad news, where this thing doesn’t get reported because it’s not as “bad” as that thing. And we chat about developing a system of replenishment, in contrast to the usual escapism that ends up depleting us even more.

Elaine wants organizations, politicians, and us to stop thinking of activism as an emergency situation because it’s something we have to be in for the long haul. Thus the focus of this episode: Finding easy ways to build activism into your daily life… in a way that fills you up rather than dragging you down.
