If you’ve ever heard “your labs are normal” while secretly crying in the work bathroom because you can barely function, this episode is your permission slip to stop gaslighting yourself.In this raw, 15-minute episode Desiree shares the exact four things she did the week she almost quit her director-level job with perfect attendance and a TSH of 2.8. No green juices, no quitting your career, no toxic positivity—just real, science-backed tools that actually work when you have Hashimoto’s, RA, lupus, or any autoimmune disease but still have KPIs to crush.

You’ll discover:

- The 90-second morning energy audit that cut Desiree’s flares by 60 % in two weeks

-The two-sentence “flex medical days” email script that gets approved in minutes without disclosing your diagnosis

- The $43 Amazon cart that replaced car naps (foot hammock, blue-light blockers, timer caps, Liquid IV sleep—exact links below)

- The zero-cost wellness-stipend tweak (backed by 2020 Journal of Pain Research meta-analysis) that cuts chronic-illness absenteeism up to 50 % and how companies are already doing it

Perfect for professional women searching: normal TSH but still exhausted, Hashimoto’s and career, autoimmune disease at work, invisible illness corporate job, chronic fatigue 2pm crash, brain fog at work, how to ask for accommodations without saying autoimmune.
