The response to Abs Lee's episode has been incredible! So many of you letting me know how relatable her story is and how much you enjoyed our conversation. So if you haven't listened yet, get on it! 😉

Abs says:

"I feel like I've been this long-term failure. I would love to move into being proud of myself and what I do contribute to the world. I would love to ditch that paradigm of ‘I should be in full-time work and doing something impressive’. I'm just managing health things, supporting my son and my mum, doing bits of work to keep the wolf from the door." 

Abs Lee is a carer, gardener and cleaner from Suffolk in the UK.S She has moved between multiple jobs throughout her life so far, full of potential but often finding it difficult to stay in roles due to sensory issues and lack of support. Now self employed, working part time due to health issues and caring responsibilities, Abs says that her life “has been shaped by persistence, lived experience and learning how to stay.”
