What's your proudest achievement?

Thu, 05 May 2022 18:19:31 GMT

In today's podcast, I talk about a recent question that I was asked: 'What's your proudest achievement?'. Being raised in a society with high expectations, the words 'proud' or 'achieve' where not often used. However, we should have a goal that we have either achieved or are trying to achieve and should acknowledge how far we've come. So my question to you is 'What's YOUR proudest achievement?' Peace out, A Town.
