“I am an ATHLETE”

This episode will show you that the only limits are the ones we set for ourselves.

Mari Ruddy has survived breast cancer three times and has lived with type 1 diabetes for more than 43 years.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition that requires constant monitoring of blood sugar and insulin levels—a complex balancing act. This condition has posed challenges for athletes, from managing energy during intense activity to facing misconceptions about their abilities. Mari reminds us that determination can redefine what’s possible in her latest book, Extreme Healing.

Mari weaves her personal narrative into an inspiring guide to help readers discover their inner athlete, regardless of age, health, or weight challenges. If you’ve been putting off taking on your next challenge, this episode is for you. 

November is Diabetes Awareness Month—making it a perfect time to share Mari’s message. Claim the identity you desire regardless of your circumstances. In the words of Buddha, “What you think, you become.” 

Mari is proof of this truth.
