Rosemary and Collette introduce themselves from Boston and discuss Collette’s experience facing repeated job rejections before starting her cookie business, colettis.com, which employs a blended community including people with disabilities. They share updates about new holiday cookie ideas like ginger molasses, plus popular flavors and gifting. A surprise call with Rosemary’s sister Karen (from New York) leads to talk about an IPL skin treatment, Collette’s enjoyment of a recent wedding, and upcoming plans including a Country Music Festival trip to Nashville. Karen, a trainer and endurance racer, describes marathons, Disney race weekends, and fundraising for Type 1 diabetes, explaining her daughters’ diagnoses, advances like continuous glucose monitors, and needs for better pump accuracy. She also highlights Blue Circle Health (bluecirclehealth.org), a nonprofit providing free Type 1 support and supplies to underserved adults.
