The First Time Cancer Interrupted My Job - Ep. 26

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

In this episode, I share a day that looked fine on the outside—but quietly changed something in me. A cancer treatment and a work crisis collided, and for the first time in ten years, I couldn’t keep my illness and my job in separate lanes. Nothing broke, but the fear did. This is an honest reflection on capacity versus commitment, the invisible stakes of health and work, and what it feels like when the margin you depend on suddenly disappears. There’s no takeaway—just the truth of sitting with it.
