Monitoring Isn’t Just Data—It’s a Mirror of Self-Compassion

For so many women I work with, the idea of monitoring blood sugar feels intimidating at first. “I don’t want to see how bad it is.”
But here’s what I tell them:

We’re not looking for perfection—we’re looking for patterns.
And those patterns aren’t just made of protein and carbs. They’re built on sleep, stress, skipped meals, and suppressed needs.

A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) or even a simple glucose check isn't just a clinical tool—it’s an emotional invitation. One that says:“Let’s stop guessing and start witnessing.”

When women begin tracking their blood sugar, the lightbulb moments often have nothing to do with sugar itself:

• The morning spike wasn’t from their eggs or toast—it was from tossing and turning until 3 a.m., replaying conversations or calming a child.

• The afternoon crash wasn’t a sign of failure—it was the natural result of powering through back-to-back meetings without eating or hydrating.

• The weekend highs didn’t come from food indulgence alone—it was the mental and emotional load of being everyone’s emotional anchor, errand-runner, and default decision-maker.

These numbers are not to be seen as a report card but as your body speaking up, things change.

Instead of:

“I messed up.”

You can say:

“Oh—that makes sense.”

This is the turning point. This is where data becomes dialogue. Where numbers become nudges.Where self-monitoring becomes self-honoring.

Because healing isn’t about being good. It’s about being in relationship—with your body, your rhythms, and your reality.

You don’t have to fear the data. You just have to learn how to read it with compassion. If you are looking for more 1:1 support, click here to begin my program application.
