In this episode, I sit down with Shaylin Fuller, a Muay Thai fighter and Risely 2025 coaching graduate, to talk about what it’s really like when the thing you love most starts to feel dangerous because of type 1 diabetes. After experiencing a terrifying low during training, exercise stopped feeling empowering and started feeling like a constant risk she had to manage. 

We talk about how that fear followed her far beyond the gym and quietly began running her life. Shaylin opens up about the moment she realized she couldn’t keep choosing between her sport and her health — and how coaching helped her rebuild trust in her body. You’ll hear what it took to move from 47% to 88% time in range, and why real change happened slowly, imperfectly, and in the “messy middle.” This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t about control — it’s about reclaiming your confidence, your freedom, and your rise.
