Hi folks, Today's episode I read out my futureme.org letter that I sent to myself a year ago in July. It really hit home just how much has changed since then. I was broken, my self-confidence was zero, I had a lot to work on tbh. After a lot of therapy, self-help and just being kind to myself, I now unapologetically identify as a feminist, I continue to learn about racism in our world and have somewhat become an activist in a short space of time. Sometimes it's cathartic to take stock of ourselves and how far we've come (and a reminder on how far we've got to go). I read out 20 things I wish I could tell my teenage self, it was a lotta fun to pull together. Thank you to listeners who submitted things they would tell their teenage self - it was all very relatable and somewhat emotional to read!
