Reclaim Your Rise
with Lauren Bongiorno

Our guest for today’s episode, Olly Rowland, has such an exciting and unique story to share! When Olly was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 17, his doctors discouraged him from pursuing his dream job of being a stuntman and told him he should stick to working in an office. Instead of heeding this advice, Olly set out to prove them wrong. Not only has Olly worked as a stuntman on major Hollywood films like Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America: The First Avenger, and Snow White and the Huntsman, but he also manages some of the top musicians in entertainment including Dolly Parton, Mya, KC & The Sunshine Band, Kenny G. and more! Olly also documents his journey on The Diabetic Adventurer with the goal of helping young and newly diagnosed diabetics realize their diabetes doesn’t have to stop them from leading an extraordinary life. In this jam-packed episode, we discuss... Overcoming the fear of judgment when giving T1D injections on Hollywood sets  Adapting to unique and unpredictable environments during stunt work  and adventure travel  Transitioning from daily injections to Dexcom G6 and Omnipod 5 Finding support for his type one through community and technology  …and so much more!

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.

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.
