80. Lessons Learned from a Year in Europe as an Ex-Pat with T1D Mom Lacey Weisbaum
Manage episode 376168509 series 3332851
We have a great guest on the show today, Lacey Weisbaum.
Lacey is an ex-pat, an English teacher, and a mom to three boys under 10. Her son Ethan was diagnosed with T1D before his second birthday. Her family was one of the earliest families that I coached back in 2016, so they'll always have a super special place in my heart.
One year ago, Lacey and her family moved to Italy from Chicago for her husband, Brian's job. Together, they’re learning how to live a slower and more intentional life, how to navigate T1D in a foreign country, and how to appreciate the cultural shifts and differences from life in the US.
We also talk about…
- The diabetes-related logistics that Lacey and her husband had to consider before moving internationally
- The differences in health and wellness in Europe vs. America
- The implications of testing family members to see if they have markers for T1D
- … and so much more!
This episode is not just for parents with T1D kids, this is a conversation truly anyone will find fascinating.
We are excited to host another FREE community challenge starting September 11, 2023! Get ready to fall back into rhythm with the community and an intentional T1D routine. Learn more and sign up HERE.
