In this week’s bi-weekly episode focused on parents and caregivers of kids with type one diabetes, I’m joined by Trista Johnson. A nationally board-certified health coach on the Risely team, Trista cares deeply about helping parents and kids feel competent, capable, and calm living with type one diabetes. Trista was diagnosed at the age of four, and her work as an educator and learning specialist naturally led her into the role as head coach in our family group coaching programs. She loves to meet families wherever they’re at on their journey and support them in achieving personalized success with T1D. In this episode, we’ll discuss the top three challenges that we see in adults with T1D that often stem from a childhood diagnosis and provide tips and tricks on how to get ahead of those challenges with your child early on.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Jehan Arafa Tappe to discuss navigating shame and vulnerability with type one diabetes. Jehan was diagnosed with T1D at ten years old and is now a coach on the Risely team.

In this episode, she shares the story of a secret that she's held onto for 23 years that she only recently told her husband about. Other takeaways that you're going to hear in the episode: 1. The underlying issues we hear from clients that need to be addressed in order to move forward in their T1D journey. 2. How diabetes coaching works and helps you get to the root of those issues. 3. Straightforward tips to implement into your routine to get low-hanging fruit wins. Hit the subscribe button and rate and review to help this podcast rise!
