Two Years of Hot Diabetic Club: The Origin Story, the Retreats, and What's Coming Next
Six years ago, Tini posted about her diabetes online and didn't expect much. What followed was a Facebook group, a movement, and eventually 1,200+ members who found each other through the thing they were told to hide.
In this episode, Carson interviews Tini to take you through the full HDC origin story — from the "Rage Bolus Babe" era and early virtual hangouts, to the terrifying financial bet on a Sedona retreat that changed everything, to the identity-first Mexico retreat that proved diabetic community is about who you are, not just what your A1C is.
She also gets real about the messy parts: the growing pains, the hate, the money fears, and why she keeps going anyway.
Plus: a first look at the future of Hot Diabetic Club. A new model with a free community layer, paid membership, and a marketplace on the horizon.
Topics covered: HDC origin story · Rage Bolus Babe era · Sedona & Mexico retreats · Trailblazers local meetups · HQ model launch · Growing to 1,100 members
