Saying “I’ll get on top of my diabetes in 2026” is easy. But making the goal stick past Feb is tough.

In this episode (a re-release from last Jan), Tracy and I sit down with behavioural strategist Tereeza Ballantine to break down how to set diabetes goals that actually work — without perfectionism, guilt, or burnout. This isn’t fluffy stuff. It’s practical tools, neuroscience-backed insights, and a kinder way to work with your brain (even when it’s being unhelpful).

We talk about:

• How to turn vague goals into achievable action plans
• Why motivation disappears — and what to do when it does
• How to quiet your nasty inner critic
• The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset

Plus, Cait's plan to reverse a real-life diabetes complication (without freaking out or giving up).

Need a gentle nudge in the right direction for 2026? Here it is! ✨

Many diabetics have a complicated relationship with food and their bodies. We’re trained to obsess over carbs, weight, and exercise—while dealing with a tricky metabolism and the occasional 2am hypo-fueled fridge raid.

It’s no wonder unhelpful thoughts and habits can creep in and leave us miserable.

In this episode, Cait and Tracy speak to Sarah Lam, a diabetes psychologist with 30+ years of experience. We cover:

• The most common food and body struggles people with diabetes face
• Cait and Tracy’s own stories with binge eating and negative self-talk.
• Why diabetes increases the risk of eating disorders.
• Practical strategies for breaking these patterns.
• How to find professional help from someone who "gets it".
