Taylor Efford is a comedian, actor and content creator from Toronto, Canada.
She’s also a self-proclaimed ‘rat, on a mission to normalise normal things.’ Since 2020 that has included type 1 diabetes, which she was diagnosed with in the midst of the pandemic at the age of 25.
Caught between two identities, Taylor’s humorous and poignant perspective on the many dualities of life is what makes her content so relatable, and has helped her amass over half a million followers across TikTok and Instagram.
Like many of us, she finds type 1 diabetes to be an incredibly contrary disease, and in this episode Taylor candidly opens up about how this ‘cannonball’ has hit her life - from not recognising who she was after her diagnosis, using comedy to help her cope, and reclaiming type 1 diabetes on her own terms for her wedding day by embracing the rat life.
I really love how this conversation naturally evolved from podcaster and guest, to two people with type 1 diabetes chatting about and chewing over some things they’re thinking and feeling. Taylor is a beautiful, smart and astute soul - I hope her chat fills you up as much as it did me.
