Hannah Olson

Hannah Olson had just graduated from college and she thought she had her “dream job.” But the dream quickly became a nightmare when her new employer refused to understand or make any accommodations for Hannah’s chronic condition (Lyme disease). But others were understanding and Hannah used that support to found two companies-Chronically Capable and Disclo. She joins our hosts Sara and Mark on our latest episode.
During the interview, Hannah talks about how the Covid pandemic changed much of the workplace dynamic in terms of talking about one’s situation. Working at home meant that people had to let others know when they were facing different challenges-sick kids, homeschooling, illness etc.--and that also meant that employers had to make a decision: either become more accommodating or cease to exist.
Whether you’re someone who is looking for a new job, needs accommodations at your current job, or you’re an employer struggling to provide accommodations, this is a great listen. ✅ it out!
