You might remember Crystal Bowersox from American Idol. Perhaps you know her because you’ve been to one of her amazing shows. Maybe she’s inspired you with one of her songs like “A Broken Wing” …or maybe the story of her life with T1D is something you relate to.

What is it like to be a singer-songwriter with Type 1 Diabetes?

I recently chatted with Crystal about her life with Type 1 Diabetes and immediately felt connected with her. I don’t know if it was because she’s a fellow farm girl or if it’s our T1D connection. Hearing her stories reminded me that we are stronger than our minds say we are.

Take a moment and listen to our conversation and find comfort knowing that it’s ok to not be perfect 100% of the time.

“Make Your Own Granola” – Crystal Bowersox

Toward the end of our conversation, I asked “Is there anything else you’d like to share?” and Crystal, without hesitation, commented, “Yes. Make your own granola!” Crystal shared her technique on how to make a very simple homemade granola recipe, which inspired this Homemade Granola post.

    Actually I was a security guard at one of her concerts small venue, but tragically I was taken to the hospital before even getting to hear her sing. She was nice enough to sign an autograph for me. Great inspiration.

    Crystal is an amazing woman, mother and singer. She is an inspiration to those with T1D and those who need confidence to do what they dream to do!
