“The Chronic Boss Collective has changed my life in more ways than one. Since becoming a founding member and acknowledging my worth, my life has changed in ways I never could have imagined. The connections, opportunities, and immediate camaraderie amongst intelligent, inspirational, and courageous women has been my biggest blessing in 2024! The degree to which we draw strength from each other is something I have never witnessed in my life and I’m truly grateful to share my Chronic Boss journey with so many astonishing women.”

-Hi Im Lily
There’s something brilliantly unique about ambitious women living with chronic conditions. They possess their own brand of resilience, fire, passion, and work ethic.
It is my belief that harnessing the collective power of these women to help each other level up in our life, health, and careers will be pure magic.
Cheers to the future of the most powerful women’s platform to date.
The Chronic Boss was born out of my own lived experience. I am an ambitious and successful entrepreneur that prioritizes my health and self care out of necessity. It’s the only option if I wish to keep my autoimmune diseases in remission.
Through my first business, Patient Authentic, along with my work as a patient advocate, I’ve had the privilege to meet extraordinary women living with chronic conditions and changing the world.
