11. Megan Baumley on her transformation from T1D death sentence to holistic empowerment
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Megan Baumley to discuss how her relationship with T1D transformed from feeling like her diagnosis was a death sentence to finding empowerment through a holistic approach.
Megan was diagnosed with T1D right before her 18th birthday. Before joining Risely’s Decide & Conquer Bootcamp in 2021, she was all or nothing with her diabetes, super anxious about her health, embarrassed by her numbers, and afraid to admit that she needed help.
Listen to learn how Megan not only accepted her diabetes but also found confidence and a whole new sense of self through the process.
