    Episode 1. Who is this City Girl?

    Welcome to my first podcast episode ever! I've been wanting to do this for a few years now but thought it would be too hard and didn't think anyone would care, but it's 2021 so I said screw it let's go! In this episode I will be telling you about my journey so far with Type 1 Diabetes, and being honest about all the experiences I've had. I may be a little awkward but hey, I'm new and I don't want to be scripted! Enjoy XOXO
