The words “blindness,” “amputation,” “kidney failure,” and “heart attack” get thrown around real quick after a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, but no one tells you what to do with the fear that follows you around afterward.

In this episode, we’re going there.

We’re unpacking the emotional weight of fearing complications and what it actually means to take care of yourself from a place of awareness, not anxiety.

What we cover:

• Why fear-based care doesn’t work long-term
• The early signs of complications you should know about
• How to tell the difference between real risk and doom-spiraling
• What actually helps you feel better, stronger, and more in control
• Why perfection isn’t required and never was

This episode is part science, part pep talk, and 100% real talk.
You are not a ticking time bomb.
You are allowed to live your life: fully, freely, and without shame.

🎧 Listen now and take your power back.
