"We need to master the art of personal reinvention." -- Matthew Syed in Rebel Ideas

Happy Pride Month! This week, Lucy's having a chat about all the different ways we can choose to identify ourselves, the ways in which identity is useful and the ways it's not. Sometimes we can feel like we owe it to people to live up to their ideas of who we are, but really it's up to us how we want to be seen. Change is so inevitable too - our lives change all the time, so it's natural that parts of our identity change over our lives as well - once we realise that we're free to define ourselves however we like and stop restricting ourselves with labels that no longer fit with who we are, we're free to do so much more than we might have thought possible.
