Your Diabestie Episode 3: Your Broke Diabestie

- Job loss when you have a chronic illness is anxiety-inducing.
How will you afford your medicine? Your diabetes tech? Will you be able to visit the doctor? Keep your insurance? How will you be able to make it all work?
For me, losing a contract (my most stable one) unexpectedly and without notice was a horrible experience - and one that I had no choice in.
I didn't see it coming and was never given any notice.
For the past six weeks or so, it's been challenging to stay afloat - I won't lie.
Skipping meals, skipping insulin doses, the mad rush to get my scripts filled so I can get an extension on my life. It's all wild. But it's a reality for people living with diabetes. And it always will be until it's less expensive to manage this disease.

I’ll post an additional comment, Mila- but I am only two minutes in to your podcast and already my heart goes out to you for your honesty and bravery…
Thank you! It was hard to speak up, but I feel like I would tell anyone else to advocate for themselves and point out wrongdoing. If nothing else, the next person should know what they’re getting into.
And I’ve got this little corner of the internet where I help educate. This is a learning and teaching moment for me.
Sorry you experienced this unfortunate reality of corporate life. I’ve been a consultant for over a decade and I’m very jaded now lol. I trust no one and everything needs to be in writing and always always CYA because while you’re being a team player they’re watching their bottom line. As an independent contractor, I would draft your own contracts and use them as the starting point. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors!!!
In this case, they wouldn't let me use my own contract unfortunately (big, corporation, etc). But, I have absolutely learned my lesson. And that is to focus on my platforms, my stuff, growing my community, my content and being the best at it.
I may not have as many major resources as those companies, but I'm smart and capable. I know I've got this, and I think this is leading me to something much better.
So lovely to hear from you, and you look gorgeous today ❤
Thank you so much 💕
Happy Birthday, Mila! Love you, Diabestie 💙
Thank you! So grateful to have you as a friend!
Prayers for new opportunities immediately.. Stay healthy 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you 💕
@@TheHangryWoman Though the topic today isn't the best news, I've always loved your blog. I wish you all the best and hope with all my heart that things will improve. You deserve it 💖
I’m sorry Mila trust God even in this situation when one door closes another will open. You are a good person and good will come to you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you, Gloria. I feel like like bad things happen and it opens the door to something better a lot of the time.
In the past couple of months since this, I've survived. Barely, but I've done it. I just see it being nowhere but up from here.
Unfortunately, being an empathetic person leaves you open to being taken advantage of by unscrupulous people. It's important to compartmentalize "things" in future endeavors.
It's horrible that you've had to go through this, but you've experienced a valuable lesson that I know you will make use of for a lifetime.
Capitalism doesn't care about benevolence, ethics, or professionalism.
A SAD REALITY!
OF COURSE THE WHOLE SITUATION WAS PERSONAL!!!
POST IT❣️
A lesson I will NEVER forget. I can’t tell you how many times I fought for myself in these situations, and how many times I was shut down. It should’ve been obvious to me then.
But I’m confident bigger and better is on the way for me.
@@TheHangryWoman
Yes, you have your whole life ahead of you and will have many more positive experiences.
Don't ignore your gut feelings. When something doesn't sit well with you, it's worth investing that feeling.
Also, this next comment may be a bit abstract.
UNIONS HAVE THEIR PLACE!
❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful
You are so kind, thank you.
@@TheHangryWoman You're very welcome ❤️ and ty
Have you thought of setting up a go fund me page?
Create an app with a community for the hangry woman and you will have your own platform. This was for you to step out on your own after seeing what will and will not work.
