Part 2 of Eoin's chat with Harriet Jaxxon (@harrietjaxxon).Many of you will know her from international stages, from Boiler Room sets to shows in New York and across Europe. She is building a serious name for herself in the global DJ scene.What a lot of people do not know is that she has been living with Type 1 diabetes since she was 17, diagnosed completely out of the blue.She is very honest about it. It was not some inspirational turning point. It was disruptive. Life altering. In her words, a complete “vibe kill”. And even now, while it is more manageable, it is still something she carries every single day.What stands out to me is how she has integrated that reality into her life. The resilience. The discipline. The mental toughness that comes with managing a chronic condition daily. Those traits have shaped not only her character, but her success.This conversation is real, grounded, and powerful.See and hear more from Harriet:Boiler Room set hereLinks to music hereInstagram hereAs always, be sure to rate, comment, subscribe and share.

He's now an ultrarunner, running coach, and owner of two running stores in London ( @runlimited.ldn ).This conversation is about living honestly with Type 1 Diabetes, reducing the mental burden, and what becomes possible when the condition stops being something you hide.As always, be sure to rate, comment, subscribe and share.

Today's episode is a little bit different, because Eoin talks about something that's actually made day-to-day life with Type 1 Diabetes that bit easier, food tracking.If you live with Type 1, you already know that carb counting and logging food can feel overwhelming, tedious, or just another mental load on top of everything else. Eoin has tried plenty of apps over the years, and honestly, most of them either felt too complicated or just didn't fit real life.Recently, he started using a food tracking app called Vida Health, and wanted to share his experience with it; what he likes, what's been genuinely helpful, and how it's made carb counting feel simpler as a whole.This isn't about perfection or tracking every bite forever. It's about having a tool that actually supports you, especially when managing blood sugars day to day.So if you've ever struggled with food tracking, felt burnt out by carb counting, or just want something that feels more intuitive, this episode is for you.As always, be sure to rate, comment, subscribe and share.

Part 2 of Eoin's chat with Stephen Yarbrough. Stephen was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 70 (in 2025) after undergoing immunotherapy treatment for melanoma.In an extremely rare outcome, the treatment that helped fight his cancer also triggered an autoimmune reaction that destroyed his pancreas' ability to produce insulin. Only a fraction of patients ever experience this, yet Stephen's journey shows how Type 1 diabetes can appear in unexpected ways and at any stage of life.Over the past 10 months, Stephen has learned to navigate glucose monitoring, insulin therapy and an entirely new type of daily routine.Shortly after his diagnosis, Stephen faced the heartbreaking loss of his wife of thirty-two years following her sudden pancreatic cancer diagnosis. His willingness to speak openly about grief, resilience and the lessons he has gained along the way offers a powerful perspective that will absolutely resonate with you.Today Stephen joins us to share his path through illness, adjustment and recovering, and his appreciation for life's blessings.As always, be sure to rate, comment, subscribe and share.
