Today you get to meet one of the new Risely Coaches Lindsey Payne. She tells the story of her intense childhood diagnosis and her journey of becoming a coach after so much personal struggle and frustration with her T1D. Lindsey shares the education gaps that made her feel like she was just never going to figure out her diabetes - like how menstrual cycles affect blood sugar or how blood sugar affects mental health. Plus, we talk about the sometimes confusing difference between a coach and a mentor. I know many of you will resonate with Lindsey’s experience.
