About this episode
Bella discusses how failing her A-level chemistry led her to unexpected joy and personal growth.
Hi! You’ve got a voicemail from me, Bella, and this week I am exposing myself and chatting about why failing my A-level chemistry and having to go through clearing was actually the best thing that has ever happened to me. It has led me on a path that I would never have chosen for myself, but a path that has brought me so much joy. Make sure you’re following me on Instagram and on TikTok @mailfrombella, and if you want to write into my advice column please email dearbellaadvice@gmail.com.
