Ep. #24 - Julie Bockey | Autism Mom to 2, Type-1 Diabetic, USAF Veteran, Hospice Nurse & IRONMAN

Published: Oct. 22, 2018, 12:52 p.m.

Completing an IRONMAN is hard enough by itself, imagine doing it being a parent to two autistic kids and a type-1 diabetic. That's exactly what Julie Bockey [@bockeylife] did! This USAF veteran and former hospice nurse shares her life and everything she juggles on a daily basis while still doing triathlon. It's definitely a challenge, but, as she says, it’s not a death sentence - It can be managed and she chooses that! Her message is simple - sometimes, people...people with disabilities look, act and just live different. Be kind. Be open-minded. Be patient. Give respect. Advocate fiercely, don’t stop until your voice is heard, and make no apologies for being the best version of YOU! Show Notes: https://www.humansoftriathlon.com/hotpodcast-juliebockey
