Teresa talks to London-based, award winning Irish actress Justine Mitchell, who enjoys a successful career on stage and screen.  She shares about growing up, being shy and also being a bit wild.

Confidence, identity, and personal growth are explored as Justine reflects on her teen years in Hong Kong as an outgoing young drama student, discovering as an adult that she is basically a shy person, and how performing helped to mask a discomfort with just being her younger self.

Teresa and Justine discuss the nuances of introversion, self-compassion, and the importance of recognizing one's own emotional growth. The conversation also touches on Justine's upcoming projects including her role in the upcoming series These Sacred Vows.

They also hatch a plan for designing a metric devise for measuring personal growth and an idea for a new musical - "Bad Annie".
