Warm, candid, empowering pilot episode, in which Catherine introduces The Diabetic Mammy—a podcast dedicated to navigating the emotional, practical, and social complexities of living with type 1 diabetes, especially in the context of motherhood. Sharing her own journey from being diagnosed at age 4 to becoming a mother of two daughters (both also diagnosed with type 1 diabetes), Catherine invites listeners into a space of honesty, humour, and community.
She explains her motivation for launching the podcast: to create a supportive environment for diabetic mammies who often juggle invisible challenges like burnout, mom guilt, and balancing self-care with parenting. Catherine emphasises that this podcast is not medical advice but a place of real talk, real stories, and shared experiences.
