Welcome to another episode of Change By Degrees! This episode is a super special one. We open letters that we wrote to ourselves back in August 2020. But a catch—we read each other’s letters to the other person, so Millie reads Gabi’s and Gabi reads Millie’s, just to make a little more interesting. We had a lot of fun reflecting on the last 4 months and talking it all out with each other! Let us know on our social media if you’ve ever written to yourself or if you plan to do so in the future. Follow us on Instagram @_changebydegrees and we will see you next week for our last episode of the season!
