Ever wish you could go back and give your younger self a little advice—or maybe just a hug and a "hang in there"?


In this episode, we’re doing exactly that. Thomas and I each wrote letters to our past selves, and we’re reading them out loud (buckle up, emotions incoming). Then we unpack why this kind of reflective writing can be a game-changer in recovery.

We’ll talk about how it helps with healing, self-awareness, and even letting go of old shame. If you’re in recovery or just working on yourself, grab a pen, some paper, and maybe some tissues.
