In this episode, I sit down with author and mom Stephanie Fallon, whose six-year-old daughter, Posey, lives with type 1 diabetes. Stephanie’s story struck me deeply—she shares how her lifelong perfectionism was challenged when faced with the unpredictability of diabetes and how that journey reshaped her perspective as both a parent and a person. We talk about what it means to try to “win” at diabetes, the emotional toll that mindset can take, and how she learned to let go of control in favor of connection and presence. Whether you’re a parent, someone living with type 1 yourself, or just someone who’s ever felt like your worth is tied to outcomes, I think you’ll relate to Stephanie’s story.
