This week I’m joined by my friend Jess ☺️ We chat about the pros and cons of city vs country living, the truth about hitting 30, and how to know the difference between tough love and recognising when someone doesn’t have your best interests at heart ❤️🩹
We also unpack the pressures of following others’ expectations, learning to love your own journey without succumbing to the pressures around you, and much more ✨
