Hosted by young Aussies Isabella Magee and Sebastian Harris, Life on the level is a podcast that keeps things honest. No sugar-coating, no lectures 鈥� just open conversations about what it鈥檚 like to live with type 1 diabetes as a young person. The challenges, the awkward moments, the wins you don鈥檛 always talk about 鈥攊t鈥檚 all here.  

If you鈥檝e ever felt like no one really 鈥済ets it鈥�, this podcast will remind you that you鈥檙e not on your own. Or if you know someone with diabetes, it will give you new insights into what it鈥檚 really like to live with.  

Season 2 in a nutshell  

This season shares stories that are relatable, reassuring, and inspiring.

During this season, you鈥檒l hear from young men and women with different experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives with each willing to share their story in the hope that it helps others living with diabetes.  

Who鈥檚 joining us this season?  

Here鈥檚 a sneak peek at some of the people on the podcast this season: 

• Brodie Sargent on being a country kid and a marathon world record chaser – Kick back with Brodie Sargent, tattoo artist, rugby player, marathon runner, and proud T1D advocate.  Brodie shares his laid-back (but driven) approach to life with type 1, from smashing goals on the field to raising awareness with 50km runs. We dive into his journey, getting inked and why a diagnosis doesn鈥檛 define what鈥檚 possible.   

• Nikki Findlay on mental health and a life full of adventures – Talking about burnout, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges isn鈥檛 always easy, especially when you feel invisible. Nikki Findlay is changing that by using her voice to advocate for real, lasting change. In this episode, we sit down for an open and honest conversation about mental health, including discussions around suicide. It might be heavy and, if this one鈥檚 not right for you, that鈥檚 completely okay. 

• Brett Findlay on parenthood, brain injury, and resilience – At 25, Brett Findlay was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and later experienced a traumatic brain injury due to his diabetes. While his mates were out living their 20s to the fullest, Brett was forced to rebuild his life. In this powerful episode, Seb and Isabella sit down with Brett to talk hypo awareness, healing after trauma, and finding new ways forward. It鈥檚 honest, moving, and a reminder that there鈥檚 strength in starting again.
