Raising Type 1 Podcast

Type 1 Diabetes teaches you quickly that control is never guaranteed. In this episode, we talk about what it means to live in the space between effort and outcome. The constant adjustments, the pressure to “do it right,” and the reality that even perfect decisions do not always lead to predictable results. We explore how T1D reshapes your relationship with control, why surrender is not the same as giving up, and how learning to release what we cannot control can make room for more peace, resilience, and trust.

Episode 3 gets real (and a little wild). From jaw-dropping comments to things people say that make you stop and ask, “Did that really just happen?”. We’re unpacking the craziest, most out-of-pocket statements people casually throw around. Some are funny, some are frustrating, and some hit a little too close to home. Tune in as we laugh, vent, and make sense of the things people say when they should probably just… not. This is a public episode.
