Feeling like you have to 'perform wellness' and push through just to keep your seat at the table?
Over 75% of women living with chronic illness are working, and let's be honest many are struggling.
That's because this is an extremely delicate and sophisticated terrain. Despite all the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies - chronic illness just isn't on the radar. This is why it feels like you need the skills of ninja to negotiate any sustainable support and still keep the doors open to career advancement. All the while, trying to work out what is sustainable, or negotiating working part-time or most tricky, returning to work after an extended break.
What if you could reclaim your confidence and take empowered, practical steps into your career of choice.
Imagine...
No longer pushing through and performing wellness.
Feeling emotionally grounded, confidently capable
and proud of yourself.
Never having to choose between your body's needs and your career aspirations.
Experiencing fantastic professional boundaries that enable you to thrive.
Regaining your emotional confidence so you can apply, interview and restart your career.
Building authentic, professional relationships.
Having real impact in your work, and doing it in ways that align with your body.
Stepping into your deepest, Authentic Leadership.
Fully trusting yourself and your own intuitive guidance.
Can you believe this is possible for you?
Because it is....

Managing your career takes a lot of energy at the best of times. And when you live with chronic illness, you need to spend your mental, emotional and physical energy much more wisely.
I get it because not only have I lived it, I've also been bed bound twice in the last decade and both times made the full transition back to fully integrate into my career again. I worked out exactly how to reestablish my advancement with excellent professional boundaries and reclaim my confidence.
I can guide you in the nitty gritty - how to have the difficult conversations, what to say, when and to whom. Plus at the strategy level, mentoring you into the perfect plan where you thrive in the career of your choice in ways that work for you and your body.

"I now have a sense of my real capacity and feel empowered to communicate it to others.
Michelle Irving is one of a kind. I came to her indecisive, focused on my failures, and scared of taking the next steps in my career.
Michelle showed me how the skills I have learned because of my illness experience can be applied in the workplace.
I no longer feel I have to hide and pretend to be a "typical" healthy worker. I now see chronic illness, despite all its difficulty, as an asset.
Michelle was well worth the investment. Through gentle teaching and discussion, she gave me the tools to build my confidence, take the next steps, and negotiate double my freelance rate.
Michelle is doing groundbreaking work in an emerging field. She is authentic, loving, and effective."
~ Sarah, Washington D.C. USA.
"Working with Michelle has been life altering. I've discarded some self-limiting beliefs that prevented me from chasing career opportunities.
Negotiating work terms when you're unwell can be daunting, especially within work cultures that reward resilience and stamina. The isolation of enduring illness alone can sometimes lead us to internalise false narratives that we are unreliable and need to work twice as hard to prove we are well enough, or good enough, to deserve our jobs.
Michelle helps to not only uncover these false narratives, but also provides tools for setting healthier boundaries and expectations of ourselves and our work environment.
Michelle is a gentle, person-centred, and empowering mentor who has incredible insight into navigating the world of chronic illness.
~ Marie, Australia.
