Diagnosed with T1D in 1995, Colleen has never known anything except this condition. She’s struggled with weight, purpose, and frustration around T1D education, which led to creating This is Type 1 in the fall of 2019.
She’s a self-published author, author coach, host of 2 other podcasts, a Ravenclaw, cat mom, and semi-compulsive hiker living in the Montana Rockies.
