Episode 20: Turning Hardship into Opportunity with Raquel Baron

We’re joined by Raquel Baron, founder of Type One Together, for an honest conversation about living with Type 1 diabetes and building community through chronic illness. Diagnosed at just five years old, Raquel opens up about growing up with diabetes, the emotional realities people rarely talk about, and how her experience ultimately led her to create a platform supporting families navigating the disease.We also talk about entrepreneurship, identity, resilience, and what it looks like to turn something deeply personal into meaningful work. This episode is vulnerable, empowering, and a reminder that no one should have to navigate hard things alone.
