how to stop chasing validation & teenage...

About this episode

this week’s episode is a very special one — i’m (leo) joined by my high school bestie Alexa for a nostalgic and pretty vulnerable conversation about who we used to be, who we’ve become & what we’d tell our younger selves.


from crying over boys to learning how to stop craving male validation, from incessantly comparing ourselves to finding self-worth in our twenties — this one’s for the girls who like us are still healing (from) their teenage selves.


so grab a drink, get cosy & join us for a little trip down memory lane. 💌
