Becky Shepherd reached out on Instagram after listening to, and loving this podcast. As a 22 year old the show helped her learn how to think about caring for herself rather than going through life as if it were an obstacle course. Join me as Becky and I explore how moving to a new place helps you redefine yourself and how anonymity allows you the freedom to be curious.
