Conversations that leave you feeling energised are my jam and sports presenter Jordan Robinson DELIVERS.
LA-based WNBA sports journalist, host and podcaster Jordan started playing basketball as a young child, reaching division 2 in college.
Her type 1 diabetes diagnosis at the age of 23 came at a time of huge change, as she was recovering from injury while building a new career as a journalist. Over time though, her condition has brought her closer to her family and strengthened the beautiful bond between her and her husband Fred.
Off the court Jordan happily now gets to talk about her favourite sport as part of her job, but it’s her desire to become a mum that’s her true motivation for continually showing up to manage her type 1 diabetes.
We talk about why she thinks she was living with type 1 for months before she was diagnosed, her conceptions around pregnancy with type 1, the new love of her life - her automated insulin pump - and why it’s ok to ask for help, no matter how self-sufficient or independent you are.
Jordan is a gorgeous dose of LA sunshine and I hope you enjoy this chat as much as I did!
