What Most People Get Wrong About Collaboration (Especially When You’re Building a Business with Chronic Illness)

Business With Chronic Illness

If you’ve been told that lead generation means pitching constantly, being visible everywhere, or following a one-size-fits-all funnel strategy… this episode is going to feel like a deep breath.

In this solo episode, I share the most powerful (and overlooked) way to grow your audience, build trust, and attract aligned clients — through the sustainable and soul-led path of community and collaboration.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your approach as a coach, creative, or service provider living with chronic illness, I’ll share how to use your hobbies, professional skills, and innate talents to build visibility and create genuine relationships that convert — without pretending, burning out, or pushing beyond your body’s limits.

You’ll walk away with:

• The #1 mindset shift that makes collaboration sustainable
• How to attract aligned leads using your actual interests (not just business strategies)
• A simple weekly rhythm for connection, even if you only have one good hour a week
• Real-life examples of how I grew my podcast and audience without paid ads or constant posting
• Gentle journal prompts to help you turn your personality into your magnet

This episode is a gentle nudge to do things differently — and proof that you can generate leads from a place of alignment, joy, and rest.
