Ep. 36: The Universe Cleared My Plate - Melanie Frome
<p>Melanie is a multitude of things! Her passions include movement, writing, speaking, and mentoring others on their journeys.</p> <p>This multi-passionate career wasn’t her starting point, however. Melanie spent over 15 years climbing the corporate ladder. A few months after high school she entered the workforce as a young single mother. As part of a career program, she got an office job and was off and running. Along the way she attended night school to get her college degree.</p> <p>Long hours at work, staying up late to study for her college courses, and being the best parent she could be were draining. At some point, Melanie believes she lost sight of not only who she was, but also who it was possible for her to be. There wasn’t a lot space for conversations or thoughts about what she “wanted”. Instead, each day was jam packed and left little room for contemplation.</p> <p>Melanie believes that now, at age 41, she’s finally had the chance to pause and consider what she wants to be when she “grows up”. In a way, this was thrust upon her - she was working 40 hours a week at a corporate job, while also running a yoga studio on the side. She was struggling to make it all financially feasible, and then within a few months, she closed the yoga studio, which is also where she had been living, and unexpectedly lost her job.</p> <p>She feels the universe cleared EVERYTHING off her plate and effectively helped her hit reset. With a clean slate, Melanie took a good long look around and started making changes.</p> <p>This catapulted her into an international move and the space to finally complete her book, which was sitting with a publisher at the time of this recording and is now <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lady-Fire-Immortal-Melanie-Frome/dp/1999249208/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=lady%20of%20fire%20the%20immortal%20elements&qid=1576905486&sr=8-1">available on Amazon</a>!</p> <p>Even though these changes were difficult, Melanie has nothing but gratitude for the changes she experienced during this time. She was good at her job, but she’s glad she left. She feels that, like many humans, she was stuck in her routines and habits. The gift of actually contemplating (and then acting on) your desires is amazing! Melanie knows that if she hadn’t been let go by her job, it would have taken her much longer to ever leave.</p> <p>What part of you feels “stuck” in a certain position or way of being? How can you start moving towards freedom today?</p> <p>Who you are as so many layers, and Melanie hopes to help others discover (or rediscover) who they really are.</p>

Ep. 35: The World's Worst Diabetes Mom - Guest Stacey Simms
<p>During this interview, Stacey shares openly about many of the stages in her own journey. These included raising a son with a chronic illness, working her way into her dream career position, and ultimately leaving that role to protect her own health. You can learn about self-care, dealing with the pressure to be perfect, and navigating career change in this informative episode.</p> <p>I appreciate her candor, her positive outlook, and the twists and turns her journey took!</p> <p><strong>[Quick Note: If you’re specifically interested in Type 1, Type 2, Type 1.5, or double diabetes (yes, these are all real!), you’ll want to tune in at minute 21 for Stacey’s quick PSA on diabetes diagnosis and types. Crazy interesting!]</strong></p> <p>Stacey Simms’ new book is called <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Worst-Diabetes-Mom-Real-Life-ebook/dp/B07ZTQBK9C">The World’s Worst Diabetes Mom</a>. She has a podcast and <a href="https://diabetes-connections.com/">blog</a> that inform, educate, and connect families that have children with diabetes. Ultimately, she shares that connections are what she is most passionate about.</p> <p>Why “world’s worst” as part of her book title?</p> <p>Stacey has noticed that parenting in general comes with a HUGE amount of pressure — everything from what schools your kids get into, to what you pack in your kid’s lunch (and how it looks, of course). And when your child has a diabetic diagnosis, you’re measuring so many additional variables on a daily basis, which adds a whole other level of striving for perfection.</p> <p>While in an internet “discussion” with a women who strongly disagreed with parenting choice she had made, Stacey fired back with “Well, I guess I’m the world’s worst diabetes mom!”. After the heat of the moment cooled, she realized there was something in that statement that resonated.</p> <p>The philosophy she devised? Give up the fight for perfect parenting!</p> <p>Stacey shares that her son’s diagnosis occurred in 2006. The iPhone didn’t exist, and Facebook was only for college students. There weren’t all these “voices” sharing tips and advice…or condemnation and criticism. Once social media became accessible, she appreciated the opportunities for getting new ideas, helpful tips, and the support of people who were in the journey with her was amazing. On the flip side…getting judged by strangers on the internet who disagreed with her choices and were quick to share all about it was a new struggle.</p> <p>Stacey realized that pre-internet she didn’t know she was “supposed” to feel guilt about some of her parenting decisions, so she didn’t. She also realized that giving her son independence and some level of “normalcy” was really important to her.</p> <p>During these early stages of being a parent and having a young child with a diabetes diagnosis, Stacey had her dream job. She absolutely LOVED it. She also realized that it was draining her, and wasn’t going to be sustainable in the long run. The straw that broke the camel’s back was her own diagnosis with ulcerative colitis.</p> <p>Her solution? Ultimately, she left. Even though it was a hard decision, she absolutely new it was the right thing to do. While talking about the transition from her full time position, I really appreciated that Stacey acknowledges the privilege that allowed her to make these transition choices. Everyone’s journey looks different, and the choices available to every individual are going to be different.</p> <p>To learn more about how Stacey navigates change and implements self-care, listen in to the full episode.</p>
