First international speaking event

Well that was thrilling!
Friends, I was *so* nervous… But it went so well! My first international speaking event.

I told the story of my diabetes and how not experiencing learned helplessness when I was diagnosed helped me believe that anything is possible with diabetes. I talked about Sweet Life and two of the coolest things we’ve done (our diabetes stock image library and our chatbot).

I reminded everyone – myself included – that empowered people empower people. What a gift to be able to speak to so many doctors from so many countries! What a thrill.

Also: very nice to be able to exhale and know that it’s done, and done well. Phew!
