Manage episode 495819886 series 3550613
What do you do when your body doesn’t follow the calendar, and neither does your capacity?
In this episode of Rethink Ability, co-hosts Danny Gluch and Cacha Dora are joined by Greer Procich, Lia Seth, and Megan Rees for a candid, humorous, and deeply validating conversation about the unpredictable nature of working while living with a disability.
We talk about surprise flare-ups, medical trial-and-error, navigating grief and identity, and the hard-earned skills that disabled professionals bring to the workplace — from empathy and adaptability to ruthless prioritization and setting real boundaries.
💬 Topics include:
- Invisible conditions and being disbelieved
- The emotional toll of uncertainty and delayed diagnosis
- Medication roulette and scary side effects
- Why disclosure is still a risk in hiring
- What great managers actually do
- Finding community and honoring your limits
Whether you're living it, leading others, or just starting to learn, this one will stick with you.
Rethink Ability is a limited seven-part podcast series that explores the often unseen dimensions of disability in the workplace — and what it takes to build environments where everyone can thrive.
Brought to you by The Fearless PX and the team behind The Elephant in the Org, in collaboration with ReThink Ability, Invisible Condition, and The Performance Innovation Collective, the series centers the lived experiences of disabled employees, HR leaders, and workplace change-makers. Across seven honest, human, and action-driven episodes, we unpack the gap between intention and impact and explore how to bridge it.
This is a call to rethink assumptions, redesign systems, and reshape culture.
If you’re tired of one-size-fits-all policies and hungry for real change, you’re in the right place.
