In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why "progress over perfection" isn't just a phrase - it's a survival strategy for Type 1 diabetes
• How to stop chasing perfect A1Cs and start celebrating better
• The difference between goals, intentions, and systems (and why only systems actually work)
• Why you're not failing - your settings or your systems might just be wrong
• How to redefine success on YOUR terms, not your endo's or Instagram's
• The one mindset shift that changed how Madi manages diabetes, shows up for T1D clients, and lives her life

This episode is for you if:

• You're tired of feeling like you're failing at diabetes
• You're chasing perfect numbers but losing yourself
• You're burned out from 180+ daily diabetes decisions
• You're doing this alone and exhausted
• You want to stop surviving and start thriving

The Reality:

Madi's a professional diabetic - registered dietitian, diabetes educator, 13 years with T1D. And she STILL has diabetes support. She still has 400 & 40 blood sugars. She still struggles.

This disease doesn't care about credentials.

It humbles all of us.

But here's what changed everything this year: she stopped expecting herself to be perfect and started celebrating BETTER. Better than yesterday. Better than last month. Better than where she started.

That's it. That's the whole lesson.

And when she let go of perfection, she actually got better results. Her stress went down. Her blood sugar improved. She enjoyed life more.

Here's what you'll walk away with:

• How to redefine what success means to YOU (not what your A1C says)
• Why celebrating small wins matters (yes, even pre-bolusing counts)
• How to stop comparing your chapter 3 to someone else's chapter 20
• Why you need a support system (and how to find yours)
• The difference between living WITH diabetes vs. living FOR diabetes

T1Ds who thrive aren't the ones doing everything perfectly. They're the ones who keep going even when it's messy.

Give yourself permission to be human. You're doing hard things every single day.
