You might remember Crystal Bowersox from American Idol. Perhaps you know her because you’ve been to one of her amazing shows. Maybe she’s inspired you with one of her songs like “A Broken Wing” …or maybe the story of her life with T1D is something you relate to.

What is it like to be a singer-songwriter with Type 1 Diabetes?

I recently chatted with Crystal about her life with Type 1 Diabetes and immediately felt connected with her. I don’t know if it was because she’s a fellow farm girl or if it’s our T1D connection. Hearing her stories reminded me that we are stronger than our minds say we are.

Take a moment and listen to our conversation and find comfort knowing that it’s ok to not be perfect 100% of the time.

“Make Your Own Granola” – Crystal Bowersox

Toward the end of our conversation, I asked “Is there anything else you’d like to share?” and Crystal, without hesitation, commented, “Yes. Make your own granola!” Crystal shared her technique on how to make a very simple homemade granola recipe, which inspired this Homemade Granola post.
