Changing Jobs When You Have a Chronic Illness - Ep. 22

from The Fine, But Not Fine Podcast · host Fine, But Not Fine

In this episode, I explore what it really means to change jobs when you’re living with a chronic illness. For me, it’s not just about a new role—it’s about whether my health and my coverage will hold steady. I talk through the tough parts and I share how to plan ahead so you don’t get caught in a coverage gap, and the emotional weight of navigating it all. I also walk through my own solution—a job transition binder packed with medical and insurance details—and why leaning on HR, advocacy groups, and your support system can make the whole process survivable.
