Reclaim Your Rise
with Lauren Bongiorno

This is the very first episode dedicated exclusively to parents and caregivers of children with type one diabetes. At least two times a month on Thursdays, I'll be posting these special family-based episodes where I’ll share as much education, tools, and strategies that can not only help you shift your relationship with diabetes but also your child's relationship with diabetes. These episodes will be under 30 minutes so that you can listen while you're doing chores, driving to work, or dropping your kids off at school. In this debut family episode, I’ll share five mindset reframes with you. A huge part of navigating diabetes, whether you have it, or if you're a caregiver of someone who has it, is the mental and emotional piece of managing your child's diabetes. If you are constantly, struggling to figure out how to maintain blood sugar control for your child while also letting your kid just be a kid. This podcast is for you.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Elana Dumont to discuss mental health and Type 1 Diabetes. Dr. Elana Dumont is a NY State licensed clinical psychologist specializing in working with children, teens, and adults with mood and anxiety disorders. She was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was 22 years old and is a passionate member of Risely’s Advisory Board. Elana and I discuss essential topics surrounding mental health and Type 1 Diabetes, such as the acceptance process of getting diagnosed as an adult, navigating anxiety and stress while living with T1D, and how to get the most out of working with a therapist or a psychologist who might not fully understand the reality of living with T1D. We also talk about parenting for a child with T1D, the mental health of the caregiver, and Elana provides lots of great tips and helpful reframes for parents.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Scott Ruderman to discuss the insulin crisis in America. Scott was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2009. He is an award-winning filmmaker who has worked on documentary film projects for Netflix, BBC, Hulu, Discovery +, A&E, and HBO. Scott’s current film, PAY OR DIE, is a documentary that examines how the lives of type 1 diabetics in America are being threatened and lost due to insulin cost. This is a crucial conversation for us to be having as a community and raising awareness on. We also get into how actress and comedian Sarah Silverman recently came on as executive producer. For anyone that wants to support PAY OR DIE, here is their GoFundMe page where you can donate and share their story.

Hello and welcome back to the Reclaim Your Rise Podcast! This week I’m sitting down with my first co-host on the pod Jessica Bonilla, Nationally Certified Health Coach and the Director of Coaching at Risely . This episode is full of so many juicy stories and takeaways for you. Jess and I share the synchronous story of how we met and started coaching together and the biggest belief blocks around exercise, nutrition, and diabetes that we see in our clients and have personally experienced ourselves. Jess also shares her history of being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 15 and how she dealt with her endocrinologist claiming she was in “a rebellious phase.” Definitely listen until the end for our lightning round where Jess answers the importance of sharing why we reclaim our rise.
