When I returned from travelling and reflected on the experience, I realised there was one over-arching experience that impacted the person I had become. Having belief in who I am and finding a comfort zone within my own mind. I now make it a goal to create a space in my mind that is one of the safest places in the world. I want everyone to have this too, listen to find out how.

At OneUp we believe in being curious and taking a little bit of value from everyone, so welcome to the breadcrumb series. Where we get bite sized amounts of previous episodes and can hear a new perspective in less than 5 minutes.

Breadcrumb 60 is from Episode 171 - "Strengthen your Self-esteem Permanently by Being your Own Best Friend". Listen to the full episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
