Ever hide something that was at the core of your existence? I did. It was my type 1 diabetes diagnosis. A secret that was subtly gnawing away at my mental peace and physical health. Until one day, I decided to own it. To live openly, to advocate, and to educate others about this condition. That decision changed my life. In this heart-to-heart conversation, I share my transformative journey from hiding to owning my diagnosis, the sense of liberation it brought along, and the profound impact it had on my relationships and wellbeing.

Tune in as we delve into the empowerment that comes with self-acceptance and advocacy. How living openly with diabetes and using its technology can help shift our perspective from merely surviving to thriving. We'll also talk about the fashion statement our tech can make and the inspiration it can spark in others. And because I believe in the healing power of community, I'll share a link to a support group that I've created on the Discord app for our podcast listeners. An open platform for us to share, learn, and support each other. So join us as we celebrate our unique challenges and use them as superpowers to make a real impact in the diabetes community.
