Aimee Bird

Aimee Bird

Aimee Bird is a mom and wife working full time as a HR manger. With 3 daughters, a bunch of dogs, and birds her life is bustling and full. When not watching and cheering on her daughters at their many sport events you can find Aimee and her husband on the golf course. You can count on Aimee to be the first to lend a helping hand or encourage/support/motivate/ her friends and family.

Aimee’s daughter Marlee has an eating disorder called Anorexia Nervosa. Anorexia is a psychological disorder characterized by abnormal eating habits, and an obsessive need to lose weight by not eating.

Recognizing the signs of anorexia is not always easy, but a diagnosis is extremely crucial and can be life saving. These signs can be different and subtle but things to look out for include: fatigue, insomnia, yellow or blotchy skin, thinning hair, constipation, irregular or absent periods in women, dry skin, excessive exercise, irritability and low blood pressure. Although an eating disorder can look different for anyone who suffers from it, it is important to reach out and seek help. If you or someone you know Is suffering from an eating disorder you can call or text the national eating disorder association hotline at (800) 931-2237

And like Marlee said in the episode “nothing lasts forever” you can fight for a better life.

Sal Lucatero (@thatoneguysal on Instagram) is, in every sense of the word, a community builder. He is an Events Manager for a tech company and works to build strong community networks through experiential events that help drive change and create a workforce in underdog communities. Using this same logic, he has found ways to bring together young people diagnosed with T1D and create a strong support system using real-life meetups and social media networks. He is currently obsessed with remodeling his home with his 130 pound, adopted Great Pyrenees, Clifford, and looking for ways to travel to some of the most exotic places on earth. When he’s not at home or working in the community, you can find him hanging out with his friends at a music festival or finding ways to build a new music festival from scratch.

Sal was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 19 years old and since then, has taken control of how to manage living with a chronic illness, especially as a young adult. Type 1, an autoimmune disorder, which occurs because of antibodies that destroy your pancreatic beta cells. Without these pancreatic cells, the body can no longer produce insulin.
