Living Between Two Selves | Duality, Identity & My Type 1.5 Diabetes

🎙️ Show Summary

This quick rant - something to get off my chest - goes into the space between who we think we are and who the world expects us to be. I open up about a personal health diagnosis—Type 1.5 diabetes—and how it’s reshaped my understanding of control, identity, and duality. From the Brooks Brothers “A side” to the Bukowski “B side,” it’s an honest exploration of living in between, and what it means to finally bring more of yourself—flawed, whole, and human—into every part of your life.

What this episode explores:

• The lifelong tension between the polished professional and the creative rebel

• The shock of a Type 1.5 diabetes diagnosis—and how it reframed control and vulnerability

• Why identity and illness can both strip away illusion and reveal truth

• The call to live with more honesty, imperfection, and presence

• The reminder that our core values are the very anchors we need most in uncertain seasons
