Madi's back on the Healthy Diabetic Podcast with Coach Ken after about a year away, and this one goes straight into what that year actually looked like.
A trip to Japan. Getting sicker than she's ever been. A 300-person conference. Her first time as the solo dietitian at camp. A breakup. A move across the country. All of it stacking up until the cup was empty.
Then the two of them do something they didn't expect to do: fact-check a statistic they've both repeated.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- What burnout looks like when helping folks is your actual job
- Why the 180-decisions-a-day number might not hold up, and what Ken found when he tracked his own
- How fear and low confidence can quietly inflate the number of decisions you make
- What to say when a provider changes something that was working and won't hear you
- Why asking a provider to note their reasoning in your chart is worth doing
- How to build up to a food you're nervous about, one small step at a time
- The three things that make any of this sustainable: education, community, accountability
The line that stuck: you can't pour from an empty cup, even when pouring is the whole job.
This episode also airs on the Healthy Diabetic Podcast, so you get to hear it twice.
