what saraphina and I were in a entrepreneurial book club where Stephanie never read the right book and Stephanie was terrible at this book club I really Su at book I did not fabulous I'm what I just had a visual had a out of it happy Friday to everyone how the heck are you thanks for coming over thanks for having me uh I'm so excited to have another eforall sister in the house today I know it's a great program isn't it yeah right get up nice and close to that microphone and introduce yourself Nancy tell everybody who you are and why you're here at my lemon Ado table I know this is very cool um so my name is Nancy godat and I the founder and president of type 1 families type 1 families is a nonprofit organization created to empower educate and support families who have children with type 1 diabetes now maybe you can talk about your journey a little bit I've heard your story because uh you've you've popped on a couple of podcasts before but I definitely feel like it's worth sharing for someone that might just be starting this space in their life sure sure um so so my son was diagnosed when he was just 9 years old he's soon to be 25 that's amazing um and uh it was a real hard journey in the beginning and there's so much to think about so many things to do you have a whole new way of life you know every time you eat something you have to have insulin um there's lots of medical appointments and a huge lifestyle change there's also a real um serious period of grief in the beginning because you realize your kids life is not going to be quote unquote normal regular yeah you know it's like a new normal um so uh for the first year I cried about it and cried in the shower uh cried in my car after I dropped him off at school and I was really grief stricken about it and then about a year later we got busy and started getting active and meeting other families with type one diabetes yeah cuz you definitely need to build a support web I feel like there's just so much that covers it's not just food it's not just checking constantly checking it's got It's just hypervigilance is really exhausting exactly exactly and sometimes I equate it to it's like bringing a newborn home all over again and you know all the things that you don't know when you have a baby yeah there's like a whole new learning curve when your kid gets diagnosed with every mom knows that feeling when you leave the hospital with this new baby and you're like wait a minute I'm in charge exactly who's checking on me was like yeah you feel like that it you're not doing the right things you're not doing the right things all the time I'm not qualified for this exactly and so all of a sudden your child gets diagnosed with diabetes you have to be a nutritionist uh a doctor uh a nurse an educator you have to be able to do math and count carves without a calculator yeah right and not just for vanity reasons it's because for life exactly um and it is a big responsibility and it's a big change and it affects your whole family whether you have one I have one child but you know families that have two or three kids you're still juggling all the other stuff and yeah Sports and all of it Sports and academics and there's a lot that goes into it so well because now you're doing uh Sports Medicine Science how do I give them enough fuel that is going to keep his blood sugar normal while he's being active exactly like that's math that's a whole lot of math exactly and my son was a uh cyclist he was a bike racer bik Rider uh he grew up here on the cape uh so his Sports of choice were you know fishing surfing cycling uh and you know I wish he would have picked an easier sport than cycling cycling was really hard to figure out how to give him enough fuel and enough sugar and whatever to race his bike so it was a huge learning curve but you know wear learned a lot and he had a great he had great opportunities cycling and I you know I have no regrets Rich Rogers is sending you td1 kids and families are warriors oh thank you I totally believe that that is true and the kids are rock stars yeah and really I you know I have met so many people on this journey and the the cool thing is Once you walk in those shoes and you meet somebody that also walks in those shoes M you you you have an instant connection that an instant bond so that's kind of one of the cool things about it well and also somebody else like that you don't have to have that qualifying conversation you don't have to sit there and explain to them anything you can just be with them and they get it exactly you know and so you'll be in the grocery store you'll see someone with a deck come or an omnipod on and you know little kids are like Mom look you know that other kid has the thing on yeah and instantly you would go up to that person and be like hey dude you know you have 100% it is a bonding space it is a badge it is so you know after the first year the first year I want to say it was so so hard and after that I got busy and I decided that I wanted to meet other moms whose kid had di whose children had diabetes so I started a support group in Handover mass and I'm proud to say that I've been running that group for 14 years that's amazing there are we have a closed Facebook group and it's called called Southshore type 1 moms so if you're out there on the Southshore and your kid has type one go on to that page and I will accept you into the group last time I looked there were 288 moms in that group that's so stressful I know but it's nice to know that you're not alone right and the cool thing about the group is when you don't come to the monthly meeting you can write a question in or you can ask advice about something you know simple things like what do you feed your kid when they're playing soccer do you take your pump off uh your kid when they're swimming uh things like that and other the coolest thing is other moms help other moms yeah so I've really gotten a lot out of doing that group and now I'm expanding that model I just started one in lynfield Mass last March very cool and I am looking for space so anyone out there I'm looking for free space that I can do a monthly support group at night hopefully on a Tuesday or Thursday night on the cape from 7 to 900 pm and I've called a lot of places and I've gotten a lot of nose okay but I'm looking to try and start that by the end of March so um if anybody's got a space that you're you're thinking would be perfect for this have we talked to Lauren opis I mean it gets you close to the cape that's Buzzard's Bay um no I have not does she have space she does have space okay and she's an e for all girl yes she is okay this is how we tangle our webs this is cool okay hey Don thanks for joining us from uh a good

people watching the live stream this morning I'm like what is going on it's 7 A.M it was amazing I know right so so no more snow spring is early yeah that's what they're saying okay that would be cool

tickets we're talking to Nancy godette she is the founder of type one families type onef families.org she's working on her website she's looking for a space on the cape to have some meetings so if anybody's got a lease on those for her your son is now 25 maybe you can talk about the because my daughter's leaving for college oh uh that that space like okay we've got a handle on it where moms are moming and coming together and now it's time for them to be their own person out of the house so this love that you've cared for and fostered and made sure is stayed alive is now going to be in charge of their own life right it's scary how did you let go it is scary whether they have diabetes or not right you and our job is to teach them how to flee The Nest right and back then technology was not what it is today my son like now moms can and dads can follow their kids blood sugar on their phone and they can see when they go low or high my son did not have that kind of Technology he was on a pump but it wasn't integrated and even if it was he wouldn't let me follow him anyways well that's it he needs to have a little autonomy in this and feel like he's living his own life not Tethered to you exactly and I guess my my advice to moms is to let your kid do as much as they can you know just like trying to teach them how to do the laundry before they go to college right yeah and then you know teach them how to manage their blood sugar and drinking is a big thing whether you have diabetes or not in college um and so you know teaching them how to do that and how to be responsible and what to do you know what do you do if this happens and how do you manage it yourself I think that you know it's all part of do you want your kid living in your basement when they're 25 right no well that's why Mom and Dad have taken over the basement both of our businesses are here to my older children you're not coming back we have no room for you there you go we love you do well in your life seriously exctly and that's our job right that is our job see you all set time to lunch bye Lauren says absolutely we will host you for an insightful Workshop or whatever it is that you need so definitely Rich says that they've got a type one kid and have two type one sisters a lot of people do not understand and thank goodness for technology oh yes I agree totally agree I don't even know the stress of managing that maybe you can talk about the things um that that can happen I mean why you're so worried I think people if you don't know anything about type 1 diabetes and the effects it has on your body right so this is not your grandma's diabetes this is not uh you take a pill or you treat it with your diet basically when you have type one your pancreas stops working and the only way that you can survive is to insulin injected into your body and act as a pancreas now the cool technology out there is there uh continuous glucose monitors that monitor your blood sugar so you don't have to prick your finger and draw blood all the time anymore it's a little device that's embedded and subcutaneously can calculate your blood sugar which is very cool the other thing is rather than giving injections with insulin you now have a pump and so now those two technologies have the ability to talk to each other which makes it seem like you don't have diabetes which is really cool yeah um you know back when my son first got it we were doing daily injections every time he ate something and pricking his finger to see what he try that with a nine-year-old I mean really you have to or try it with a toddler yeah oh in my norshore moms group um there were six new moms last month three of them had children under the age of three wow so I can't imagine chasing a toddler around to do that so the technology for younger kids is really great and most um doctors and endos are really into prescribing that because a toddler can't tell you how they feel right if they feel low so if your blood sugar goes low it can be dangerous and you could um uh have a reaction and faint and uh things could go south pretty quick yeah if your blood sugar is too high the same thing could Could Happen usually and let me tell you what the symptoms are because that's really important to parents okay yeah so if your kid starts drinking a lot peeing a lot and um does starts losing weight those are like three of the the most important signs to know if you see that happening in your kid go to your pediatrician and tell them you want their blood sugar checked so usually what happens is because your pancreas start stops working and then you start losing weight and then your blood sugar goes High uh keto acidosis or dka is really serious and that's when you don't have enough insulin to help uh counteract what you're eating so your blood sugar goes really really high and then you get in a danger zone the symptoms of that are flu like so a lot of kids are misdiagnosed masked and they think that they have the flu because you start throwing up when your blood sugar is really really high so um and then you become lethargic and whatever so that's one of the warning signs too one thing that would you know a lot of Pediatricians think that it's the flu or something different and it you know every mom that I talk to whose kid is diagnosed they had a gut feeling yeah and they knew so those are kind of the warning signs to look out for listen to yourself don't second guess things good morning Mark thanks for joining us we have Nancy godet on the show with us type onf families.org is the website she's working on but this is her group and you're on Facebook as well yes uh so what inspired you to to go to eforall and and go through the whole process of becoming a 501c3 because it we've got a bunch of our our friends that have been asking about starting one and we're in the eforall family uh Nancy just completed her her yes initial start right like the right this is the beginning and you know what if it wasn't for efor all I never you know I've been running a support group for 14 years and I keep saying all right I really wanted do this but if it wasn't for that program I wouldn't have set the goals I wouldn't have filed for the 501c3 the program is really great because it teaches you all the things you need to do to launch your business whether it's a nonprofit or for-profit and you have to go to the classes are grueling there really it is like drinking water from a fire hose is the only way I can explain it I God why in a spreadsheet right um I cried a lot I did too and I tried to quit the last week and Kai was not having it I tried to quit the second week so I totally it's too much for me I quit I know well we don't want to deter people from going though because it's you need to understand it's work and it is worth it but totally worth it it is job it's a job you're you're it's a part-time job it is it is and it's also baby business school I liken it to to people that don't know about spreadsheets and finances and how to run a business which I do none of the above so it was stressful but it was good but the other thing is I would have paid a lot of money to take that class so the other thing that people out there need to know is uh eforall is a nonprofit and the classes are free that to me was invaluable I would have paid $50,000 take that class oh absolutely and it was it and it's definitely worth that so if you're looking at trying to start your own business start your own nonprofit I would totally look into e for all they really do set you up for success I even suggested that to my baby entrepreneur upstairs I said you just missed the cut off for this next round but I said if you still have that hankering you can do it from anywhere with the classes and uh it's just really invaluable between the mentors and setting you up for Success wherever it is I can't speak more highly of the program and also they've got baby pitch competitions so you can win actual money for your business yes which is you know really exciting it is a nice little carrot it's not necessarily why we do these things um and uh throughout the whole year they hold your hand for a year thank God my mentors are still signed on I'm ready to make them sign a contract so they can stay with me for two years not ever leaving me that's what I said to them recently you cannot leave me I need you and two of them are steeped in nonprofits and been working in the nonprofit world for a long time and one of them is a guy that I think he know that um knows how to scale businesses oh yeah I'm in good hands yeah you definitely are at your $15,000 business school scholarship yeah seriously it's pretty pretty outrageous the amount of help that we get from that program so I definitely suggest you're doing so I've got one friend that just started this accelerator and I'm going to be a mentor and uh we just did some interviews yesterday it was so nice to see these baby fledgling businesses with the little Dee eyes all ready to get started like they're gonna have a long long battle but it's going to be a good one because you're setting yourself up for for the rest of your whatever excited that's how you got here that's how you got here right well this I was going to do this regardless okay but I think that I did it in a better fashion than I would have I would have flailed for a lot longer me too like exactly me too yeah well that was the thing so I if I didn't do it I wouldn't have even you know created a logo you know uh found a domain name any of that stuff yeah when did you go through the program so like during pandemic oh gosh so everything was virtual that must have been hard it was a full year before I met some of these people in real life Wow of my cohorts even our finals were at home so you were doing your pitch on a video that must have been so hard it was yeah it was in some fashion better for me because I've done radio for 25 years so I'm used to being an audience of one that other people are kind of peering into right so I was used to it I know a lot of other people weren't but the technology part was really new for me and making slide presentations yeah me too because I had done radio for so long I did I I hadn't even made a resume or any like I haven't done the business things that I've needed to do I've always worked for someone else right I get it yeah so that part was really important for me to learn right so what made you decide to be a mentor um well Kristen is a good talker and you can't say no to her oh I don't think anyone can say no to her actually no but also it's just the space that I'm always in I've always worked with nonprofits I've always worked with people with great ideas people promoting things so I feel like it was just a natural fit to be able to sit there and and Foster I'm the nice one if you get the mentors you'll get somebody that's going to push you you're going to get somebody that's going to like hold your hand through things I'm the cheerleader like good job you could do it I'll be here next week that's good everyone needs one of those yeah so they really do set you up with these and I am a pretty pretty crazy lady yes thank you Lauren I appreciate you um so finally meeting people though in real life was really nice and then being able to work within my cohort to help each other support each other's businesses is awesome I know I met some really cool people that I know will be my friends for life from that program so it's pretty cool yeah you suffered a lot of things together exactly you're it's a trauma Bond it's good in a good fashion yes you could definitely call it that yeah right so what do you think um helped you from just holding your meetings to actually making this a full-fledged organization um I I that's a very good question you know cuz that seems like a big leap like you were ready to do this so you were going to do it well all right this is going to sound stupid no it's not nothing stupid I feel like it's God's work and God's plan for me to do this yeah I was desperate to meet other moms which is why I started the support group to begin with and then it just I get a lot from it and I want to give back and want to be able to help and hold the hand of someone that was in same place that I was because I didn't really have anybody to talk to I had nobody to help me so I said well I was really it was out of desperation so I found space and I advertised it and I said I'm I'm just starting this group because I need to meet other mother my my mom heart is hurting for you a little bit you know when you see other mothers that are just in this space where they can't do anything there's nothing they can do about it this is my situation and I have to deal with this and and I'm that's so stressful so to be able to be there for other moms like that's right and then you know then I thought okay fine then let's expand the model let's include families let's include dads I'm C you know dying to start my first dad's group um and you know there are a lot of national organizations out there but no one's really helping the people on the ground dealing with it every day and that is what I want to do yeah um you know you can go fundraise and do things for JDRF and Ada but really who's talking about it and dealing with the everyday things is what I want to be able to do with people that's amazing hey Nate are you over at the college today big Groundhog Day celebration at wkkl shout out to all the students I will be over there on Thursdays as we're starting our on live lemon Ado with our students over at wkkl k Community College yeah so I'm really excited to be working with the students once again again uh Lauren come meet in the lounge here and Target your audience we'd love to have you so right there in Buzzard's Bay I think we got a space move this around because there are so many people on the cape on the islands that just need that support and you know it does start with your what you know moms but I love that you said that you're going to do that for dads too because I mean it's a whole family thing it is definitely did you have other children um no I just have one children one and and that was enough and that was enough and that was hard um and you know he's a rock star really and truly it it really does affect the siblings because I mean maybe you get conversations like that in your meetings where there's siblings that feel left out exactly that's a huge thing like I'm abandoned over here because this one's taking so much of your time exact that's a very good point and something simple like you know Johnny's going low so he gets to have fruit snacks right now or he gets to have Starbursts right now to help him increase his blood sugar and you know then the four-year-old that doesn't have a blood sugar issue going on it's like well how come I can't have you know I can't have Starburst right now or I can't have fruit snacks right now cuz us moms need to deal with more drama right exactly exactly so yeah we talk about all those kinds of things has there ever had a situation that you were like I I don't even know how to help you we're just here I'm going to hold your hand um sometimes but most you know the the beauty of doing a support group with other people in it is someone else has already walked that path at some point in time and somebody might not have an answer but have a suggestion or say Well when that happened to me this is what I did so I think that that group model is really important and really helpful and when you go to an endo office you have to go to the doctors every three months so you got to work that into your schedule yeah most people have to go to Boston so even if you're on the cape you're probably traveling up to Boston for an appointment that's a day that you have to commit to going into Boston to take your kid to the doctor the Endo appointment you don't have enough time no one and no one asks you so Mom how are you doing so Dad yeah right I'm like moral is super low do not recommend this right well and you know they're busy you know looking at the kids numbers and diagnosing things and making changes to Doses and doing all that there's not enough time to say well you know how's everyone's mental Health yeah and that's so important to take care of because if you're not good for yourself you're not going to be good for your child and they need all of the things from you so it's a vicious cycle to get in it is but you know what um there is support in other people and that is um really gratifying to know that and I think that every other mom I know would also volunteer to help a new mom too you know it's just absolutely how it works yeah I like it you got to take care of your mental health especially like this time of the year too uh gray it's hard days are long it's cold we are having an event over at knockabout on Sunday it is low stakes arts and crafts I mean we're talking craft paper doilies sit there and paint things with glue I don't really care put it in your hair look like a kindergarten art teacher this is what we're going to be doing while we have a beer and just sit quietly you don't even have to have a beer and it doesn't matter at any age come on by and sit with us and do some low stakes arts and crafts so you don't have to be Martha Stewart no you do not we're zero Martha Stewarts if you're a Martha Stewart I don't even want to see you do that in your own time I want it to be ugly I want it to be covered in glitter and I want us to just have a good time because seriously you just need to relax sometimes exactly that sounds a good like a good event right we are gifted with the space over at the brewery every single Sunday so we we get to have a party we do books and bites you saw our new show opener where I talk about being terrible at book club eall used to have a book club oh really and I would always show up late to the zoo meeting and I'd always read either the book behind or the book ahead I'm like wait a minute I thought the author was a man Uh Oh wrong book Stephanie I thought book club was just code for wine club anyway right no we did entrepreneurial book club I I know usually they're not so bad most of them kind of Center on the same premise but I I have a stack of them upstairs that H I've gotten through half of them that's like homework I can't I some of the concepts were good and I do try to employ them in my business and like verticals and what you should be doing for this and it's a little stressful but when I started eforall it was just for our podcasting portion and right now by the gift of grace of God we are completely full so our our next vertical where our events and we're getting super full on that we've got four full-time hosts two part-time hosts I've got a new office girl starting on Monday wow it really is growing Leaps and Bounds people want to go out people want to have fun that's true people need need that place to blow off steam oh co just wrecked everything really it it's taken two years of Our Lives everyone I don't know if anybody else is recovering but I had this conversation with uh a gentleman named Sheamus he's a bartender at 10 pin which is Ryan's family 10 pin e yeah I just saw that somewhere where is that it the the big ones in hyenas but you just opened a new one in Handover oh that's where I saw yeah so they opened this huge complex in Handover and uh the gentlemen that started it are from my hometown of adoro uh and they're growing Leaps and Bounds but people are desperate for entertainment yes family friendly places to just go and blow off some steam and I was having this conversation with Sheamus yesterday and he's like we lost three years of our life I was trying to tell a story the other day and I realized that was 8 years ago it wasn't just two three years ago right I know wow so that's pretty interesting um I find that you know people still are now people still are afraid to gather yeah yeah it's that PTSD where it's too people in there I'm good right exactly exactly I know and that had to have been difficult for for our type one family well yeah actually you know after covid there was an uptick in diagnosis and kids that were diagnosed during covid could only do virtual visits yeah so that that was even you know making everything more complicated yeah good morning Miss Emily we're excited to have you in the office on Monday she brought her baby girl I'm gonna get no work done because I'm gonna have a baby to watch oh that's cool I'm very excited I know right little people bring me such Joy but you know who loves them as my husband loves them when they're like just fun like make funny faces at them like as start as soon as they start to need things he's all set but that's the fun portion of being a being a parent for sure so what else is going on in your organization talk about getting that 501c3 how much paperwork is it really uh it's a lot of paperwork is it yeah and I'm still waiting for approval hopefully we'll find out in March like lawyers did you do it all yourself no I have a very um um cool partner who is uh a tax and audit guy and knows all the kind of uh paperwork stuff to do so he helped me do that and uh that's amazing because that portion of my brain never developed yeah mine either mine either and I'm gonna need as this moves forward and then and I think I'm GNA give my business three years to really launch and get off the ground here um but I'm going to need you know someone to do the Social Media stuff someone to do the tax and audit and all that stuff you know um so we'll see my my part is I want to be the client facing person for sure yeah and and also the person that goes out and asks people for money and ask people to donate to a cause that's I'm I'm very very passionate about obviously yeah and knowledgeable too which is really nice to be able to talk to somebody and you you seem well-versed because you've been through it right uh someone asked me in the e forall in my pitch presentation well it makes you qualified to do this right and I thought well that's a really good question I do have a master's in education so I'm not an idiot um and my second Masters is 15 years of experience um in type one so I have zero Masters I master at my craft that's more important actually but I mean you are uniquely qualified you didn't need the two masters I feel like when you get a baby to adult Ood you were definitely qualified to speak about what goes on there and you really went through it yes um yeah but you know um it's it's really important that there's more awareness out there people don't understand uh even one of my mentors he said I had no idea what type one diabetes was right um so I don't understand you know so that's part of my mission too is to create more awareness and bring it to the Forefront you know everyone talks about ADHD and autism and whatever but people aren't talking about this and when you say diabetes people think about their Grandma they don't think that about a kid or someone like that it's just a kind of a misconception out there when I think of type one diabetes I think of Nick Jonas yes okay and I also think of Steel Magnolias yes two not great references but that's really like okay and this is my knowledge of it that's all and actually Nick Jonas is new on the scene and that is helping a lot to to have someone young that people can identify with that is definitely helping yeah I mean to to have a spokesperson for for the movement that to get people to understand what's going on here did you know Mary Tyler Morehead type one I had no idea see um because people didn't talk about it yeah she had type one um there's another hi Berry another famous actress I did not know that either she has type one too um and so there a lot of people don't talk about it so that's part of the pro part of the Mission too is to just start talking about it and creating awareness and education around it yeah and the technology for you is vastly improved oh yeah definitely definitely um but you have to still understand how it all works are where are the best resources besides your organization that people can go maybe we have people that were newly diagnosed or somebody looking for something specific your group does that right um yes and part of the the process C of in creating my website right now is to be able to go on my website and click resources so that you know what's locally available what's nationally available JDRF juvenile diabetes Research Foundation is a big um organization National Organization I've ridden my bike I did uh 400 mile bike rides for them raising money um I know I'm like oh I can't sit that long I die it was a lot of train but when I was 55 I decided I wanted to do that and that's awesome I raised like $30,000 uh the first year for um JDRF for type 1 diabetes and I rode for Ryan that was my motto I ride for Ryan my son and two other moms did that with me and wrote very cool wrote for their codes so that was pretty cool so and actually they're having a summit coming up in March in Boston that all families can come to where the kids will be separated from the parents and meet other kids and play groups and the parents can go to a bunch of panels and seminars and have some education surrounding type one so I'll pump that for them and then I'm very good friends with people at American Diabetes Association and I'm on their board and they do lots of cool things one of the cool things that I'm working on this year with them is they do Camp Carefree in New Hampshire which is a week-long camp for kids that have type one awesome and so you're with other kids that have type one for a week and you learn how to manage your blood sugar doctors and nurses uh are employed at the camp and it's just a really cool experience and I highly recommend sending your kid to Camp because that's the only time that the parent gets a break right from not thinking about diabetes for a week yeah so or spending time with the other kids for you know focusing on your other children get to be kids in a controlled environment you get to just relax exactly so a little right and camp Carefree is in New Hampshire um so you can look that up online too so those are two really good resources and organizations that I've worked with for the past 15 years that's fabulous
