When you listen to this interview with Whitney West, you might find yourself wondering, “When does she nap?!”

A born overachiever, this inspirational chronicpreneur was born into a family of teachers. So she didn’t want to go down that route. When she was diagnosed with Fibrosing mediastinitis, she didn’t want to write about it or make her chronic illness the center of her career.

But unfortunately for her - and luckily for us - she now uses her platform to transform the lives of ambitious women with chronic illness by demolishing their barriers to abundance. A speaker, coach, and advocate without an ounce of “give-up” in her, she believes that living a life you love should not exclude the chronically ill.

Listen as she explains the beauty of chronicpreneurism and how, by making herself invaluable, she ensures that her needs are met in work situations.

In this episode:

• Whitney’s journey to chronicpreneurism and how she helps others in her business
• Her belief in radical self-acceptance, and why it can be both empowering and good for your health
• Why Whitney employs someone to manage some of her social media channels, the benefits of hiring people to allow you to focus on your zone of genius, and how she found her VA
• Tools and applications that she finds useful in her business life, especially those that help with planning 
• Whitney’s advice for other chronicpreneurs - including the positive benefits of rejections!
• Where you can find Whitney
