In this week’s episode, Hilary welcomes Best Selling Author and Entrepreneur, Kate Colbert, to discuss how she runs her marketing company, Silver Tree Communications while also managing several serious chronic illnesses.
- Entrepreneurs and business owners can expand their businesses in spite of tremendous physical and emotional pain by increasing their networks, delegating responsibilities, and hiring more employees to manage new clients.
- Chronically ill entrepreneurs need to know and trust their body, and should always be doing the necessary research to better navigate the process of disease diagnosis, treatment, and management.
- Treat crucial medical appointments like a job interview: research the doctor, write a letter, list out your symptoms one by one, and so on. Kate emphasizes being willing to, “read stuff that wasn’t written for you, including peer-reviewed medical journals” when it comes to your diagnosis as well as do your homework about the timeline and severity of symptoms.
- Kate says,”never lose sight of the fact that all those years of training and experience does not better qualify them [the doctors] to understand what you know from a lifetime of living inside your body”.
Hilary and Kate close out the episode with the reminder that, despite multiple diagnoses, every single person “is enough.”
