Thank you, Mr. Smith's Coffee House, for allowing me to share about Mindfulness for Type 1 Diabetes yesterday! This was the first time that I had a book event and met somebody unexpectedly with T1D - a teenage girl who was excited to talk with me because she hardly knew of anyone else with this condition. This reminded me how valuable representation is - especially in the chronic illness community - even when self-disclose is a vulnerable thing to do; it also reinforced that sharing our stories helps others feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.
And shoutout to my mama for being there 💜
