In this final episode of season 3 of Type 1 on 1, which coincides beautifully with World Diabetes Day, we have a special collaboration. Creator of the You First podcast Fiona Moss interviews me about what the concept of ‘You First’ means and how that’s been shaped by my experiences of living with type 1 diabetes.
We chat about at how someone living with type 1 diabetes has to use resilience and courage in their everyday lives, and why putting ‘You First’ isn’t selfish, especially when it comes to dealing with a chronic illness. I reflect on how my many colourful experiences, mishaps and challenges have slowly but surely given me the confidence to make bold decisions in life; accepting that there will be bad days with type 1 diabetes no matter what – and how that helps me to appreciate the good even more.
This episode is designed to inspire you to put You First, in whatever way that makes sense for you. Fiona fervently believes that putting You First isn’t selfish, quite the opposite, and that within the constraints of life, and even with a chronic illness to consider, we DO still get to choose our own adventure. I hope this helps you to let more light into your life, even when type 1 diabetes threatens to cloud you with darkness.
