The Mental Health Diet

In honor of National Diabetes Month, I had the privilege of being a guest on the Dope Girl With Purpose Podcast (available on Spotify) to share my personal journey of living with Type 1 Diabetes. In this heartfelt conversation, I talk about my diagnosis at age 9, the challenges of managing a chronic illness, and how I’ve embraced resilience and advocacy over the years.  This episode is perfect for anyone living with diabetes, supporting a loved one, or curious about life with this condition.
