My guest this week is executive radio producer, co-founder and all round boss babe Ami Bennett. After months of misdiagnosis, general feeling-kinda-rubbish-but-not-quite-sure-why and two hospital admissions, Ami was diagnosed with type 1 in December 2019 at the age of 33 - and for just a minute it threatened to topple the independent life she's worked so hard to build. The permanence of type 1 diabetes took a little while for Ami to process, as did the amount of space it demanded in both her very busy lifestyle and her brain.

I've had the absolute pleasure of calling this frank and funny woman my friend for around six years, and in the six months since her diagnosis she's shown her type 1 that she has no intention of backing down when it comes to running her own show. In this very real and open chat we talk about everything from being forced to slow down, dating, body acceptance and being naked with bionic bits. It's a juicy one!
