This week I chat with 24 year old Mariam Shabbir, a medical student whose tweet about being called Aunty at 24 went viral. We discussed her viral tweet and why so many people found it relatable, processing growing older, her love for the book ‘The Defining Decade’ and how it made her redefine her life goals. She also has some very sane advice on how to deal with pressure and the importance of spending time with and understanding yourself. Don't miss this one guys! I would love to hear your stories too.
