    What happens when the woman everyone depends on suddenly needs to be cared for? Part 2

    In Part 2 of her conversation with Jackie Porter, Brooke Gordon explores what happens when serious illness interrupts work, identity and the expectations placed on high-achieving women. This conversation moves beyond the experience of illness to examine workplace leadership, disability benefits, critical illness insurance, returning to work and the pressure women often feel to keep carrying everything. Brooke shares how her workplace benefits worked in practice, why understanding the details of income protection matters, and how an incomplete critical illness insurance application became an important lesson. She also reflects on the professional habit of doing everything yourself—and how repeated self-sacrifice can become an expectation others place on you. In this episode, we discuss: What leaders can do when an employee faces a serious illnessWhy returning to work after a health crisis can be complicatedWhat disability benefits may—and may not—replaceThe importance of reviewing employer benefits before you need themInsurance considerations for business ownersWhy high-achieving women may struggle to delegate or receive supportThe difference between strength and performing strengthRedefining success around what is meaningful and importantFor high-earning women, financial confidence involves understanding your financial protection, but it also means considering whether your work and responsibilities leave room for the unexpected. Listen, reflect and share this episode with a woman who may need the conversation.
