S1 E28 | Dear Younger Me | The High School Chapter

Quick Note: In this episode, I’ll be sharing parts of my story that include some not-so-great choices—like underage drinking and smoking. If you’re a tween, teen, or a girl mom listening in, just a heads-up that this one might be better suited for slightly more mature ears—especially if you haven’t had a chance to chat about those topics yet. Always listen when you feel ready.Anyway, hey hey, sweet friends! 💕 We’re back with another special episode of Dear Younger Me—the High School Chapter. Normally, this is a space where Christian teen girls like you get to ask the big, messy and honest questions. But, for the remainder of Season One, we’re taking a little detour. I'm opening up a bit of my story—not because I have it all figured out, but because I want you to see pieces of your own journey in mine. So this one-off series is just that: a glimpse into some of the harder seasons I’ve walked through, especially in high school. My hope? That you’ll feel seen, known, and reminded that you are so deeply valued and loved—right where you are. Today's episode is for every teen girl who’s ever asked:💭 “Where do I even belong?”💭 “Why do I feel like I’m living two lives?”💭 “Is it just me, or is high school one big identity fashion show?”From red Solo cups we didn’t want to hold to youth group memory verses we tried so hard to remember, we’re unpacking the shape-shifting season—that time of life when we wore a new personality like it was part of our school uniform.👟Athlete by day, youth group queen by night. 🥲Lost in hallways, overlooked at lockers. 👑And yes… somehow got asked to Homecoming by THE hottest senior guy in school (brace-face and all).In this wildly relatable rollercoaster of a story, we’re talking:Steel Fab party nights and Fanta-fueled awkwardnessPop-punk boyfriends and eyeliner-laced identity crisesSneaking beers, skipping kisses, and soul-level confusionThe powerful moment where God reminded us: “You are not Plan B. You are the blueprint.”Whether you're in high school now, heading there soon, or still untangling the moments that shaped you—this one's for you. We laugh, we cringe, we cry a little (okay, maybe a lot), and we hold up a mirror to the girl who was just trying to belong.So all my shape-shifters, people-pleasers, and sweet souls just trying to survive the spotlight and the silence—this episode is your love letter. You’re not too much. You’re not not enough. You’re already so wildly loved and totally seen.Interactive Moment: Tell us YOUR most unhinged high school moment!
