Listen "200. “Is a Flat Graph Without Restriction Even Possible?” How Layne Found Freedom After 30 Years with Type 1 Diabetes"
Episode Synopsis
In this special 200th episode of Reclaim Your Rise, I sit down with Risely coaching alum Layne—an ICU nurse practitioner who has lived with type 1 diabetes for over 30 years—to explore a struggle I know so many in our community quietly carry: the weight of comparison, perfectionism, and those triggering “perfect” flat-line graphs. Even with an A1C of 5.8, Layne shares how she felt mentally drained from micromanaging every detail of her diabetes and questioning whether true freedom and stable numbers could ever exist together. She opens up about the years when flat graphs came only from restriction, and how that left her wondering if peace was possible without losing herself again. In our conversation, Layne reflects on how she learned to redefine progress, shift her mindset, and rebuild trust with her body in a way that finally brought her steadier days and more ease. I’m so excited for you to hear this honest, raw, and deeply relatable story. And to celebrate episode 200, I’m hosting a special giveaway for the community—details are inside!
