The Tree Who Grew Sideways - Matt from Everton Park

About this episode

The episode explores the theme of growth and self-acceptance through the story of Twig, who grows differently but is still strong and loved.

Not everything that grows is meant to grow straight. Some things grow sideways, slowly, or differently—and that doesn’t make them broken. Sometimes, the parts that make us feel “wrong” are the very things that make us strong, useful and loved. Just like Twig. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
