"The Fruit Snacks Podcast" with Emily Wardrop, the T1D Moms Coach Emily Wardrop

My neighbor's granddaughter just got diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes so she reached out to me for advice.

I went right over to her house to have a chat and mostly I just wanted to share hope with her. Hope that everything is going to be ok.

Isn't that what we all want to hear?

We're all going through hard. and we just want someone to witness the hard with us. Validate that we're not crazy for thinking and feeling what we are and that everything is going to be ok.

That is what this episode is today.

Hope that it's all going to be ok.

Because it is!

What's the worst case scenario?...

(yes i know what you're thinking)

And Jesus Christ has even overcome death!

So literally, no matter what, it is all going to be ok.

There will be a lot of hard and a lot of emotions to navigate all along the journey. But just as we discussed last week, not only can you have joy in the journey, you can live in an overarching state of Hope!

How is your relationship with your T1D Kiddo?

What even is a relationship exactly?

Have you ever paused to think of that?

Relationships are a mental construct. There is not a definitive answer.

Your thoughts, feelings, and actions toward your child make up your relationship with him.

So…. What are you thinking, feeling, and doing in regards to your T1D kid?

Today?

Wanna chat about it? 

This is what coaching is. 

Getting awareness of the way you’re thinking and taking a judgement-free look at it all. 

Because relationships MATTER! 

You matter. 

Your kids matter.

The diabetes just is.

You’ve got a kid with it.

That’s not changing.

But your experience of it IS within your control! 

Let’s get started!  

This is what we do in coaching. Sign up for a complimentary coaching session for guidance through the process.

As a mom, I am continually asking my kids what they DO want. If you don't want what I cooked for dinner, then what DO you want? If you say "i dunno" then how am I supposed to know what to get for you?!

This perspective has helped me understand my relationship with God a bit better also.

It is human nature to immediately notice what we do NOT want, but it is a more intense process to figure out what we actually DO want.

But God is very clear (Matt 7:7..) that if we ask, we will receive.

Tune in to the podcast to learn more about the process of determining what we want so that we can get it!

And to empower ourselves so that no matter what our circumstances are, we can get what we want as our result!

There is SO much information coming at us at all times!

We have to develop the filter in our brains and bodies to determine whether someone else's thoughts jive with us or not.

We need to determine whether we are feeling resonance or dissonance with any particular idea.

In a world so saturated with voices, we need to develop the skill of hushing all the outside noise and getting in touch with our own inner wisdom.

God who made our minds and bodies is trying to communicate truth to our spirits through His Spirit and we must learn how to Hear Him!

We don't want to just blindly believe any and everything we see and hear.

We must be sure to be following The only true Shepherd. Not just group thinking into any herd of cattle drinking whatever koolaid whichever influencer is offering at the moment.

As a parent and especially as a T1D Mom, there is so much information out there on how to take care of your loved one, but YOU are the best suited parenting expert for you and your family!

When you hear advice or read a post or see a meme, ask yourself if it is something you'd like to beat yourself up with or if it is actually useful.

Don't just scroll mindlessly pouring content into your subconscious mind.

Be intentional about what you do and don't believe and what works and what doesn't for you and your family.

You've got this, Momma!
