Our mission
We exist to dismantle the idea that success is only for the healthy, the hustle-happy, and the consistently well.
We help women with chronic illness reclaim life, work, and income on their terms - without begging for permission or pushing through pain to prove their worth.
We reject shame. We reject ableist productivity culture. We reject the fantasy that women should bounce back, show up, or stay quiet to be taken seriously.
Instead, we build mindset, income, and identity around real bodies, real limits, and real power.
This isn’t a personal development platform. It’s a rebellion against a world that was never built to support us.
Introducing unitely
We built a lifeline - because nothing out there was built for us.
Many of us are being forced out of work and guilted into feeling like we're failing because of our chronic illness or disability, we realised the system has no place for women like us: ambitious, unwell, and still full of purpose.
We didn’t want toxic positivity.
We didn’t want hustle bro culture.
We needed tools, community, and real support from people who get it and who know what it means to live in a body that doesn’t play by society’s rules.
That’s why we created Unitely.
A space where women with chronic illness can reclaim their power and purpose - without apology.
A platform where rest and ambition co-exist.
A roadmap for rebuilding income, identity, and self-worth that isn’t based on burnout.
A workplace training program to create change from the outside in.
And if you’ve ever felt too sick to keep up, but too ambitious to slow down - you belong here.
This isn’t self-help.
It’s self-defence.
We don’t do hustle culture here. We do honesty. Adaptability. Boundaries.
Our community-led strategy is for women with chronic illness who are tired of feeling like they're falling behind.
Whether you're navigating flare-ups, medical trauma, or the grief of a body that won't cooperate with capitalism, this is a space that holds you - without trying to fix you.
Because you're not broken.
You're living in a world that never planned for you.

Meet the founder
Nice to meet you
I'm Rechelle. Former head of marketing at major Aussie brands, now full-time disability advocate, business & mindset coach, and founder of this community.
I created this space because I couldn’t find one. After being forced to leave my career following kidney failure, I realised the biggest thing missing wasn’t just medical support - it was community, strategy, and space to grieve and rebuild.
This platform is built for women like me - like us - who are smart, driven, and sick of pretending we’re fine just to be taken seriously. We deserve better. This is where we start.
You belong here if...
-
You're rebuilding your identity after a diagnosis, flare-up, or burnout
-
You want to work or earn income, but need options that honour your body
-
You've been gaslit by doctors, dismissed at work, or feel like you're "too much"
-
You're craving community with women who get it - without having to explain
-
You want to learn how to rest without guilt, plan around your energy, and feel proud of how you're showing up, even on the hard days
Navigating work with a chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence can be overwhelming—especially when you’re managing symptoms, expectations, and misunderstandings all at once. The Workplace Survival Toolkit gives you practical, ready-to-use resources to make work feel more manageable, even on your hardest days.
