Stacey Simms, host of Diabetes Connections and author of The World’s Worst Diabetes Mom, is Natalie’s guest this week to talk about her career in morning news. Natalie and Stacey have a conversation about women being overlooked for promotion, proving their worth in the workplace, and how to have honest conversations with your co-workers about what it means to be a woman in the workplace. They also dissect what it means to use your knowledge about your audience to your advantage when presenting topics that may be out of their comfort zone or what happens when your audience’s comfort zone dictates what you get to present to the public. The episode rounds out with a discussion on building a community around diabetes and how important it is to understand someone else’s experience in a community you take space within. It is an episode that brings together two women from different generations who have a lot in common, even if their approach to their place in the general media takes different notes or tones.
