We love bringing in voices from the next generation, and this week’s conversation with Olivia is one you don’t want to miss. 

As a college student, daughter, and friend, she opens up about being diagnosed with diabetes in eighth grade — and later with celiac — and what it was really like to manage both as a teenager. 

Between the comical missteps and the tough realities, Olivia’s story shines a light on resilience, grief, and the strength of the mother-daughter bond. 

Toward the end, Olivia drops wisdom that hits like a freight train — raw, real, and impossible to forget. It’s the moment that cracked us wide open (yes, tears were shed), and it’s the reason you need to stick with this conversation until the very last minute. Honest. Unfiltered. Absolutely worth it.
