From late-night glucose checks and medical devices to toddler art projects and outdoor couches in the living room, she reflects on how parenting has stretched her capacity for patience, presence, and self-compassion. Chrissy also shares how becoming a public advocate for early T1D screening with Sanofi has empowered both her and Miles—and why being honest online still matters deeply to her.
