The Wake-Up Call She Never Saw Coming: Sarah Wilson on Embracing the Messy Middle

In today's episode I am sitting down with Sarah Wilson, a certified wellness coach, host of the Everything’s Messy podcast, and women with a mission to help other Type 1 Diabetics find the path of true understanding and to help them take their power.

Sarah describes her background as messy, and while it may be unconventional, it’s also a powerful story of resilience, transformation, and taking back control.

Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at just 15, Sarah struggled for decades to fully understand and care for her condition. Those years included battles with bulimia, unregulated blood sugar, and a complete disconnection from self-care. It all came to a head when, just six days before her 43rd birthday, Sarah suffered a major heart attack.

That moment became her wake-up call.

In this episode, Sarah shares how she went from rock bottom to becoming her own best health advocate, ditching conventional expectations, learning to listen to her body, and ultimately becoming medication-free and fully empowered in her wellness journey.

Together, we explore:

• The emotional and physical toll of living with Type 1 diabetes
• What led to Sarah’s heart attack and the subtle signs she missed
• Why the “messy middle” matters more than any before-and-after story
• What it really looks like to advocate for your health and why it's so important
• The connection between self-worth, self-care, and healing
• The one message Sarah wants listeners to walk away with

Whether you’re facing your own health challenges, feeling stuck in the “middle” of something hard, or just looking for inspiration to take your power back, this conversation is for you.
