About this listen

In S3E5, Catri Barrett speaks to writer, speaker, content creator, LGBTQIA advocate, and soon to be author, Ben Pechey about their experience of navigating school in the 00’s and carving out their own route to success; going from an E in english to becoming a (soon-to-be) published author.

In this episode, Catri and Ben talk about:

  • What it meant to go to school in the 90’s and 00’s and the lessons they both learnt (some the hard way from bully’s and the ‘frigid test’)
  • Ben’s experience and challenges with feeling forced to fit into the stereotypical boxes of gender and feeling like a failure when they felt like they didn’t fit anywhere.
  • Ben’s struggle with dyslexia and their journey from getting an E in english to getting an A and becoming a writer with a book deal
  • How you can find freedom from the pressure of ‘shoulds’ put on you by society
  • How to carve your unique route to success
  • The importance of lifelong learning and self-discovery
