12. Leave Shi*t Behind in 2023

In this solo episode, I tell you about all the things that I'm leaving behind in 2023 and some of the things that I will focus on during 2024. The big message here is that you should trust your instincts and listen to yourself before you take anyone else's advice. I tell you why even though 2023 was a low point for me, I needed to face it to grow and get to where I am now. Sometimes going through a rough patch and facing challenges is the only way to evolve. And let's talk about the cool stuff that comes with being in your 20s! Take risks, be brave, enjoy!

TRIGGER WARNING (in this podcast we discuss self-harming behaviors including suicidal thoughts).

In this episode, I am joined by my friend Isa to discuss what traveling has meant to her throughout her life and how it has shaped her as a person.

Our conversation also centers on her experiences in her 20s, with Isa offering valuable advice for navigating this stage in life.
