episode 58: EP 58: Fearlessly Fighting T1D with Jennie Park
Do you or someone you know live with a chronic condition? In this powerful episode I have a conversation with Jennie Park. ⠀
⠀
Having a chronic condition such as diabetes, specifically type 1, is difficult because there are no outward symptoms or signs....unless someone asks her about her insulin pump or sees her taking a blood test. No one realizes the daily investment that this condition takes.⠀
⠀
Jennie was diagnosed with T1D at 7, and is on a mission to help people connect and not feel alone.⠀
⠀
Empowering others through community and connection. Jennie launched a group called, Wine about diabetes....⠀
⠀
