Episode 129 - Sometimes It’s Okay to Cry With Your T1D Daughter

In this episode, Raquel sits down with Jamie Eisenberg for a deeply vulnerable conversation about parenting a child with type 1 diabetes and the moments that break you open — not because you’re weak, but because you care so deeply.

We talk about what it looks like to sit in the hard moments with your child instead of trying to fix them. The pressure parents feel to always stay strong. The guilt that comes with feeling overwhelmed. And the quiet permission it can give your child when they see that you’re human too.

This episode is about letting go of the idea that being a “good” T1D parent means never crying, never cracking, never showing how heavy this can feel. Sometimes the most supportive thing we can do is simply be there — tears and all.

Raquel is currently in a contracted agreement with Tandem Diabetes.
