When Marlee’s son, Bain, turned one, she expected the usual milestones of toddlerhood. First steps. First words. First birthdays.

What she didn’t expect was a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis.

In this episode, Marlee shares what it was like to have her baby diagnosed just after his first birthday, the fear and uncertainty that followed, and how their family began navigating life with a disease that suddenly became part of everything.

It’s a conversation about shock, resilience, and what it means to care for someone so little with something so big.
