244. My Daughter's Diagnosis + The Spiritual Reframe That Will Change How You See Hardship | The Not Too Sensitive Podcast
May 19, 2026Alissa opens up about the very challenging season of life her and her family have recently been thrust into.
Her three year old daughter Blaine was suddenly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and navigating it has revealed so much about the power of sensitivity, the discipline of steadiness, and the choice to see growth inside the pain.
In this episode:
- How Alissa's sensitivity helped her catch her daughter's diabetes early
- The practice of being steady and grounded for your child while separately making space to feel everything, cry, and lean on people who can hold it
- Why the adjustment period after a life disruption often means you stop caring for yourself first, and how to return to yourself.
- The shift from "this isn't fair" to "I was given this because I can carry it."
- How Alissa's faith has been an anchor for her through this experience.
- The Not Too Sensitive Club protocol reframes challenges as expansions.
