In this solo episode of Blissful Connections, I shared openly about a major work transition I’m moving through — and why it reflects a much larger conversation about sustainability, accessibility, and purpose.

I talked about recently wrapping up a seasonal role with Lighthouse Works, supporting The Assistance Fund, where I worked with patients facing serious, high-risk illnesses and extremely expensive medications. While the work was meaningful, it was also emotionally demanding. Many calls involved navigating strict HIPAA restrictions, speaking with people in crisis, and delivering difficult news when assistance was denied due to limited funding.

This experience reinforced something important for me: crisis-driven healthcare call center work is not sustainable long-term — especially for someone who leads with empathy and emotional presence.

I also shared how accessibility barriers continue to shape employment opportunities for blind and disabled people, contributing to the persistently high unemployment rate in our community. Inaccessible platforms, systems, and workflows still prevent many qualified individuals from thriving in traditional roles.

This episode explored the difference between meaningful work and sustainable work — and why honoring our limits without shame is essential for long-term impact. I reflected on how these realizations have led me to recommit to the work that truly fits me: Blissful Connections, advocacy, speaking, and one-on-one coaching focused on emotional safety, clarity, and life transitions.

This wasn’t just a conversation about jobs — it was about choosing alignment over exhaustion, purpose over pressure, and building a life that allows us to keep showing up without burning out.
