    In ep 8, my wonderful long-term friend Leanne joins me in the garden to talk about her wild, harrowing but super fulfilling job in the youth justice service, plus remembering our time as teens and realising how close we might have come to being a youth offender like Leanne now deals with on a daily basis.


    Apologies for the crappy audio, I won't record in the garden again!

Despite this, and losing her best friend at 12 years old, G has a gorgeous outlook on life. Hope u enjoy xx
