WFP with Caroline Gibb

Season 5: The Body

Working For Progress returns with a new season built around a single theme, explored across several conversations. First up: The Body, how we inhabit ourselves at work, what our bodies communicate, and what it means to listen, or not.

We welcome Caroline Gibb on Dying, Chronic Illness, and the Body at Work.

What does it mean to hold space for other people’s dying when your own body is unpredictable? Caroline Gibb works in palliative care, helping individuals and communities navigate death, grief, and the experience of caring. And she does it while living with chronic illness and the shifting terrain of peri-menopause. In this conversation, we talk about the emotional weight of work that matters, what it costs, and what it asks of the body. Caroline brings rare honesty about the gap between how we’re supposed to show up and how we actually are.
