  Season 2, Episode 11: What I Wish Someone Had Told Me At Diagnosis

  Aug 14, 202621 min

  Send us Fan Mail If I could sit beside the 21-year-old version of myself after my diabetes diagnosis, this is exactly what I'd say. A diabetes diagnosis changes more than your blood sugar. It changes the way you see your future, the way you think about food, and sometimes even the way you see yourself. In this episode, I'm sharing the conversation I wish someone had with me after I heard the words, "You have type 2 diabetes." Not a lecture about carbs or medications or a list of rules. Just the things I needed to hear most. We talk about: Why it's okay to grieve after a diabetes diagnosis. Letting go of the pressure to have everything figured out right away. Why your blood sugar is information, not a measure of your worth. Escaping the trap of perfection and learning to keep showing up. Why your diagnosis is one chapter of your story, not the whole book. Whether you were diagnosed last week or twenty years ago, I hope this episode reminds you of something we all need to hear from time to time: You're doing better than you think you are.

  Season 2, Episode 10: The Loneliest Part of Diabetes

  Jul 31, 202613 min

  Send us Fan Mail People often think the hardest part of diabetes is the medications, the finger sticks, or figuring out what to eat. But for me, one of the hardest parts has always been something much quieter. The mental load. The constant decisions. The invisible conversations happening in my head that nobody else sees. In this episode, I'm talking about the loneliness that can come with living with type 2 diabetes, even when you're surrounded by people who love you. We'll talk about decision fatigue, burnout, feeling misunderstood, and why finding people who truly "get it" can make all the difference. If you've ever felt like you're carrying diabetes by yourself, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not the only one. In this episode, we'll talk about: Why diabetes takes up so much mental space The invisible decisions people don't see Decision fatigue and diabetes burnout Why feeling misunderstood can be so isolating The power of finding people who simply say, "Me too." Whether you've been living with diabetes for twenty years or were diagnosed last week, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone.

  Season 2, Episode 9: Finding Your Why (And Why It Keeps Disappearing)

  Jul 17, 202616 min

  Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt like you know what to do...you just can't seem to keep doing it? You're not alone. In this episode, I'm talking about one of the most common pieces of advice we hear in the health world: "Find your why." The problem? People make it sound like your why is one magical reason you'll discover once and never lose. That's not how it works. I'm sharing why your motivation changes throughout different seasons of life, why it's completely normal for your "why" to feel buried sometimes, and why you probably have more than one reason for taking care of yourself. We'll also talk about the difference between the deeper reasons that keep us going and the more temporary motivations—like wanting to feel confident on vacation or fit into that dress for a special event. Those reasons aren't shallow. They count too. By the end of this episode, I hope you'll stop worrying about finding the perfect why and start reconnecting with the reasons that matter most to you right now. Because your why isn't something you discover once. It's something you come back to, again and again. And sometimes, that's exactly what you need to take the next step.

  Season 2, Episode 8: The Nutrition Noise is Loud...and Mostly BS

  Jul 3, 202612 min

  Send us Fan Mail If you've ever stood in the grocery store wondering what you're actually supposed to eat with type 2 diabetes, this episode is for you. One day carbs are the enemy. The next day it's seed oils. Someone tells you fruit has too much sugar, while someone else says you should be eating more of it. Add in well-meaning friends, family members, social media, and random internet "experts," and it's no wonder so many of us feel completely overwhelmed. In this episode, I'm talking about why the nutrition noise is so loud, how it can chip away at our confidence, and why constantly chasing the "perfect" way to eat often leaves us feeling more confused than when we started. We'll talk about: • Why nutrition advice seems to change all the time • How to handle unsolicited comments about what's on your plate • Why your own data matters more than someone else's opinion • Simple questions to ask before believing the latest nutrition claim • How to build a way of eating that's realistic, sustainable, and works for your life My hope is that when you finish listening, you'll feel a little less overwhelmed, a little more confident, and a lot more willing to trust yourself instead of every loud voice on the internet. Because the nutrition noise isn't going away...but that doesn't mean you have to keep listening to all of it. 🫶🏻 Connect with Mary: On Facebook On IG On TikTok Join The Sisterhood, Mary's wellness program for women here Find diabetes support for women here--> Sugar Mama Strong Diabetes Support Find diabetes support for men here--> Dudes with Diabetes Find my book and other merch --> https://sugarmamastrong.com/product-category/goods/this-wasnt-in-the-pamphlet/ This Wasn’t in the Pamphlet on Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/yjf8v8p3 Medical disclaimer: The information presented in this podcast is intended for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

  Season 2, Episode 7: The Gap Between Knowing and Doing

  Jun 19, 202617 min

  Send us Fan Mail You know what to do. You know movement helps blood sugar. You know vegetables are good for you. You know sleep matters. You know stress affects your numbers. So why is actually doing those things sometimes so hard? In this episode of Sick of Pricks, I'm talking about the gap between knowing and doing. The place where so many of us get stuck. We collect information. We save posts. We listen to podcasts. We research meal plans. We convince ourselves that if we could just learn one more thing, everything would finally click. But what if knowledge isn't the problem? We'll talk about overwhelm, exhaustion, fear, perfectionism, motivation, and why taking action is often much harder than gathering information. Most importantly, we'll talk about why struggling to follow through doesn't mean you're lazy, broken, or failing. If you've ever found yourself saying, "I know what I should be doing, I'm just not doing it," this episode is for you. Because the goal isn't perfection. It's taking the next step. 🎙️ In this episode: • Why collecting information can feel safer than taking action • The real reasons we get stuck • Why motivation isn't the answer • How perfectionism keeps us trapped • Reconnecting with your personal "why" • Small steps that help close the gap between knowing and doing Remember: knowing is important. But change happens when we start practicing what we already know. 🫶🏻 Connect with Mary: On Facebook On IG On TikTok Join The Sisterhood, Mary's wellness program for women here Find diabetes support for women here--> Sugar Mama Strong Diabetes Support Find diabetes support for men here--> Dudes with Diabetes Find my book and other merch --> https://sugarmamastrong.com/product-category/goods/this-wasnt-in-the-pamphlet/ This Wasn’t in the Pamphlet on Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/yjf8v8p3 Medical disclaimer: The information presented in this podcast is intended for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
