Spoonie Pyjama Party

In the last episode of The Rest Room podcast, we explored the tricky beast of navigating work when you live with chronic illness.As I mentioned, there are many people who are too unwell to work, but there are also many of us who (with the right roles, adjustments and support) may be able to work even a little bit.With the help of my guests Pippa Stacey and Bruce Daisley, we discussed everything from the barriers we can face when it comes to finding flexible and meaningful work, to a whole bunch of extremely helpful and practical advice that I hope will benefit you whether you’re looking for a role, or need to get support to help you do your role to the best of your abilities.This week, we’re flipping the topic on its head, and exploring what employers can do to create flexible workplaces that are inclusive for people living with chronic illness.I’m delighted to share a conversation I recently had with the bloomin’ delightful Faye Savory from Bear Hugs, a social enterprise which offers hug in a box gift hamper
