                  Today on It’s Your Life (and this is mine) I decided to record the first EVER solo episode. I wanted to talk about starting private therapy, what it means to me, how it's transformed my mindset and an insight into some of my notes/things I've worked through. I hope this can help to destigmatise therapy, as well as convince people to start talking to someone about their problems.
