Good morning! If you are starting to get discouraged and wonder whether all your hard work will ever pay off, this is the episode for you.

And if you are also in the messy middle and sitting with a lot of uncertainty right now, I'd love to invite you to check out today's Couragemakers episode, where I chat to Meg Kissack about life in the messy middle, figuring out what you want, and staying true to yourself along the way.

Join your host, Emily Richardson, every weekday for a short and snappy dose of language courage to get you unstuck, whether you love languages or whether you really don't, but need to learn one anyway. Emily is the tiny and colourful creator of Tea with Me, a platform to help multi-passionate and unconventional language learners splash language into every part of their lives. She is also the author of the How to Be Me series of language journals to help you to tell the stories that really matter in your new language.

A huge thank you to Samuel Peter Davies for the happiest music in the world, and to Anna Bovi Diamond for using every colour in the box on the cover art.
