So, You Want to Be an Allergy Advocate or Professional?; Guest: Gina Mennett Lee, M.Ed. [Ep. 16]
Maybe you're an allergic individual or allergy parent who wants to advocate on a larger scale? Or perhaps you're interested in learning more about what a food allergy consultant or allergy-informed therapist does and how to become one?
Gina Mennett Lee, M.Ed. and I discuss food allergy advocacy, consulting and counseling, paying special attention to not burning yourself out, especially as an advocate. We offer tips on recognizing burnout, determining your own boundaries, prioritizing your advocacy efforts based on your own values, referring people to others when needed, and prioritizing a balanced approach so you don't neglect areas of your life just to advocate in another one. We also share common questions we get about our roles as a food allergy consultant and allergy-informed therapist.
Enjoy a game of "Who You Gonna Call" which identifies which allergy professional is best to reach out to in various situations. Additionally, we highlight the need to appreciate/show gratitude for those providing resources/making changes within the allergy community so they feel valued.

Customer Reviews
This anxious allergy mom is thankful
Just wanted to give a heartfelt from the bottom of my heart to Tamara Hubbard and her advocacy for food allergy families. My son is anaphylactic to multiple foods, and it’s been a stressful adjustment and learning process over the years. Therapy has been so helpful for me to overcome flashbacks and panic attacks so I can be brave for my child. Tamara’s podcast and website normalizes the need for helping allergy families, because everyone could use more support. Nobody should be suffering alone.
Great information in a digestible manner
A combination of empathy and expertise makes this podcast a must-listen for anyone who wants to better understand the food allergy journey, whether for you or someone you care about.
Phenomenal Resource
As a food allergy mom for 15 years, medical provider, and a local support group leader, I feel this podcast perfectly fills a long standing need in the food allergic community addressing the mental and emotional issues that come along with the daily management of food allergies.
Tamara speaks with confidence from a place of personal experience and provides practical, encouraging tools for us all to succeed in this journey we find ourselves on!
