Dealing with a Disappointing Diagnosis, featuring Carolyn Cohen of Wellness While Walking
Our \u201cStick With It\u201d series on the Top of Mind podcast continues with a story from health coach Carolyn Cohen, host of the podcast \u201cWellness While Walking.\u201d Cohen grew up with strict dietary rules that she eagerly rejected when she left home. In time, she and her children experienced health problems that caused Cohen to reconsider her approach to food and wellness. She embraced a healthier lifestyle and became a certified health coach to help others make small choices to improve their wellness. \nAfter all her hard work and careful attention to wellness, Cohen was shocked and demoralized to get a diagnosis of pre-diabetes. In this Stick With It episode of the podcast, Cohen shares how \u2013 after a period of heavy denial \u2013 she mustered the humility and curiosity to learn what changes she needed to make for her health. By leaning into the discomfort of that moment, she gained new insights that improved her wellness and inspired her to create her own podcast called \u201cWellness While Walking.\u201d\n\nThe Top of Mind podcast would love to hear your Stick With It story.
