digestive health hsp podcast self worth wellness Oct 13, 2026

In this episode, Alissa sits down with Jeminee Ternus, author of You Are a Match for Your Mountain and fellow mom to a daughter with type 1 diabetes, to talk about what it means to meet a hard diagnosis with acceptance instead of a fight.

When life hands you a mountain you never asked for, it can feel like betrayal. This conversation offers a gentler way through, one where grief and gratitude get to sit at the same table.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why the number on a glucose monitor is information about a body and not a grade on your mothering
  • What it feels like when life splits into a clear before and after, and how grief and trust in the bigger plan can live side by side
  • How shifting from fighting a diagnosis to fighting with it turned chaos into a more peaceful way of living
  • Why the fun mom and the health mom turned out to be two parts of the same person
  • How a highly sensitive mom can feel her own grief without letting it land on her child
  • Why allowing the people you love the dignity of their own experience is its own form of love
