What happens when you choose a normal birth with twins?In this episode, I speak with Nicole, a mother from South Africa now living in the U.S., who chose sovereignty in one of the most medicalized and “high-risk” experiences imaginable: an identical twin pregnancy. From the very beginning, she was met with fear-based narratives—warnings of stillbirth, premature labor, and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. But after enduring traumatic experiences in hospitals and with midwives, Nicole knew she would not birth her twins within the system.Instead, she underwent a profound process of deconditioning and committed to trusting her body. With the steady support of her husband, a Radical Birth Keeper graduate, and a community of women walking this same path, Nicole carried her twins to 40 weeks and welcomed them at home, in embodied sovereignty.Nicole shares the raw reality of holding responsibility for twins outside the system: the constant conversations about risk, the deep conviction it took to turn away completely, and the profound freedom of reclaiming birth on her own terms.Inside this episode:What Nicole witnessed in the hospital that made her vow never to returnHow she carried her twins to full term, trusting her body's wisdomThe support she found in a community of sovereign mothersWhat labor with twins looked like at homeThe double standard of blame when outcomes differ at home versus in the hospitalThe freedom and healing that come with birthing twins in sovereigntyTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:59] Two miscarriages and lack of support and answers from the medical system[07:05] Receiving news of a third unviable pregnancy and deciding not to take the pill[09:02] Discovering that the medical system was wrong about her third pregnancy, and that her baby was alive and healthy in her womb[11:19] Birthing her first son in a birthing center with a midwife, forced interventions, a fourth degree tear, and newborn separation[21:36] Postpartum hospital trauma, overreactions and threats[25:15] Another miscarriage and humiliating hospital treatment[32:13] Finding out she was pregnant with twins, midwife refusing to provide care, and choosing freebirth[1:00:00] Freebirthing her twins at home with her husband and birth attendant presentIf you want to connect more with Nicole, follow her on Instagram.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.

This happens when you don't feel the symptoms of low blood sugar, which can be dangerous and even life-threatening.

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with diabetes for years, this episode is a must-listen.

In this lively episode of We Are T1D, Mike and Jack delve into the unpredictable world of Type 1 Diabetes with a listener-submitted story titled "Shopping Mall Police." Brendan's tale takes us on a rollercoaster ride through a seemingly ordinary shopping trip that quickly spirals into chaos. Join us as we navigate the humorous and sometimes bewildering situations that arise when managing T1D in public. Brendan recounts a memorable day when a low blood sugar episode during a shopping trip with his mum turned into a scene straight out of a comedy sketch. As he grapples with a hypo in the middle of a store, a security guard and two police officers mistakenly assume he's causing trouble. With his mum giving an impromptu lesson on diabetes, the situation is resolved with laughter and a newfound appreciation for the unpredictability of T1D.

The conversation highlights advancements in hybrid closed-loop systems, emerging drugs for better glucose control, screening for early detection, and promising stem cell research that could lead to a cure.

In this podcast series, you'll learn what causes poor sleep and how to “cure” your insomnia so you can sleep better permanently and naturally. Resources -Download the checklist to find out what could be causing your sleep issues -Use code SLEEP20 to get $20 off the Sleep Essentials course -Sign up for the Insomnia Insight program to find out exactly what's causing your insomnia and get a plan to fix it within 30 days. Client Testimonial My client Peter said: “What I really liked about working with you is…it's all based on data. I check-in with my doctor every 6 months, and we have been for years. A number of things came up in your tests that we didn't know about. One of the most important was insulin resistance.” Show Notes Keeping your blood sugar steady is critical to sleeping well! If you wake up in the middle of the night, there's a good chance it's because your blood sugar levels aren't healthy. This can happen even if you eat healthy and avoid sugar and carbs. In this episode, you'll learn: What happens when you're on the blood sugar roller coaster. How my client Peter's sleep was affected by blood sugar. The signs of low blood sugar and insulin resistance. How blood sugar affects the brain. How to balance your blood sugar for optimal sleep. If you have blood sugar issues and you aren't sleeping, your body isn't healthy. The only way to get better is to find everything that's causing stress in your body and mind and correct them. You want to look at gut health, hormone balance, minerals, food sensitivities, mental stress and more. Diet, exercise and random supplements aren't enough to get back in balance so you can sleep normally. I use functional lab tests to find what's going on in your body that's causing your sleep issues so we know what to correct. We can help you get 7+ hours of consistent, uninterrupted sleep.

A number of things came up in your tests that we didn't know about. One of the most important was insulin resistance.” Show Notes Keeping your blood sugar steady is critical to sleeping well! If you wake up in the middle of the night, there's a good chance it's because your blood sugar levels aren't healthy. This can happen even if you eat healthy and avoid sugar and carbs.

The signs of low blood sugar and insulin resistance. How blood sugar affects the brain. How to balance your blood sugar for optimal sleep.

Sometimes, the best advice I can give to someone for their mental health is "take off your CGM." My CGM makes me feel safe and secure. I like knowing that I'll get an alert if my blood sugar is falling fast. But I also don't look at it very often. I trust my CGM to do its job without micromanaging it. For other people (maybe you?), all the info you get from your CGM consumes you. You can't focus on the things that are important to you because you are paying SO MUCH attention to your blood sugars. Can you relate? While CGM has been a game-changer in the world of T1D management, it's so important we set boundaries with these devices—and sometimes, that may mean taking them off. In this episode I talk about the advantages and the challenges that using a CGM can have on your mental health. We dive into the importance of setting boundaries with yourself and other people around your CGM so you can keep yourself safe, both mentally and physically.

One question I always ask the people I work with is "What does success look like for you?". Their answer is almost always "I don't want to feel (insert negative emotion) anymore. The challenge here is that it's almost impossible to stop feeling one emotion without stopping feeling many, if not all, of your emotions. I try to challenge people—and I want to challenge you—to reframe what success looks like for you. Shifting your perspective to value progress over perfection can lead to a more fulfilling and flexible life. In this episode, I talk about what I think success with T1D + mental health looks like, and how you can reframe success in your mind so you are focusing on behaviors that are going to make the biggest difference in your quality of life.

My goal is to make sure that you're set up for success with your mental health around T1D, especially if you are dealing with a fear of low blood sugar. To do this, it's helpful to look at the top 3 mistakes you're probably making to deal with your fear of lows: You define success as getting rid of your fear: It makes sense, right? You want your fear to go away. But what if, instead, you focused on doing the things your fear stops you from doing? You overthink and over plan: Your goal is to think about your fear of lows as little as possible. But overthinking and over planning just make you think about it more, without making you any safer. You keep your blood sugar high: While this strategy may reduce your anxiety in the short term, it does nothing to make your fear of lows go away. It likely makes it worse. On this episode, I dive deeper into what you're doing that's likely not working, and give you some tips that will help you better manage your fear of low blood sugar!
