Reclaim Your Rise

I cannot wait for you to listen to today’s episode with special guest, Justin Eastzer! Justin was diagnosed with T1D in May 2021, and with the help of the diabetes community on TikTok, was inspired to document his journey. His goal was to educate and help others feel less alone as he learned how to manage his diabetes. He has continued to share his experiences and diabetes management on social media in an effort to provide more education, support, and self-love in the diabetes community. In this episode, we discuss... The health diagnosis Justin experienced at the age of 21 that prepared him in a unique way for his T1D diagnosis years later The exciting new ways that the world of diabetes tech advancements is progressing The DIY looping community and why Justin uses it over a commercial insulin pump  The effect long haul Covid has had on Justin’s life with T1D  Follow Justin on Instagram HERE . 🎧Listen to The Diabetech Podcast HERE .

Welcome back to the podcast! Today’s episode will be a little different because we’re NOT discussing how to lower your A1C or increase your time in range. Those are all important things and are covered in many episodes of Reclaim Your Rise, BUT today we’re focusing on mindset and self-compassion, specifically for perfectionists. The truth is, your personality type plays a big role in managing diabetes: from your strengths, to your roadblocks, to how you *relate* to it. And, as a recovering perfectionist myself, I feel like in the T1D realm we often get the short end of the stick in receiving the type of support we need to feel better with our diabetes or to move forward in our lives. In this episode, I’ll share five mindset reframes and journaling prompts that can help you discover the aspects of your life as a perfectionist that may be inhibiting your progress in finding freedom and peace of mind with diabetes. We are now enrolling for the next round of the Decide and Conquer Bootcamp, our signature group coaching program for women with T1D. Spots are limited and we begin August 22nd.

Welcome back to the podcast! Today's guest is Sally Gibney, who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes four and a half years ago. Sally is a senior project manager at the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, where she provides leadership in developing and executing program strategies for catalyzing innovative practice change in pediatrics. She also hosts the Center's podcast, The Brain Architects. Sally lives in Boston, Massachusetts with her partner, Charlie, and their newborn son, James. I met Sally about nine months ago when she enrolled in our Decide and Conquer Bootcamp. Despite looking like the “perfect” type 1 on paper with a 5.9 A1C and 91% time and range, she was experiencing intense diabetes burnout. Now, almost a year later, she's here with us today to share her story about… Reclaiming her mental health with T1D Transitioning from daily injections to an insulin pump for the first time  Finding a diabetes community that helped her unlock more freedom with T1D than she thought was possible Going through IVF with type one diabetes and becoming a first-time parent Overcoming perfectionism with her numbers  …and so much more!  We are now enrolling for the next round of the Decide and Conquer Bootcamp, our signature group coaching program for women with T1D.

It's undeniably harder for us all, including myself, to manage our blood sugars when we are traveling, going out to eat, or any other spontaneous events that come up. Afterall, diabetes thrives in a routine. BUT that doesn’t mean that we can’t feel good about our blood sugars while living with freedom and flexibility to enjoy life’s out of routine moments. I feel like this is a perfect time to discuss this topic because I'm coming off four weeks in a row of being more out of routine than in one. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the 5 key factors that helped me maintain 86% TIR throughout a month in which I… ✅ Traveled to San Diego, Newport RI, Montauk, and Chicago ✅ Changed time zones ✅ Sat for long hours in the car/plane ✅ Had different food, exercise, and sleep routines ✅ Spent time in hot, humid weather ✅ Enjoyed a few drinks You will learn both the tactical pieces to consider when you're going out of your routine and the one major mindset shift that has helped me and over 600 coaching clients at Risely.
