Green Pigs and Me Anna Mould

What would you say to your younger self if you had the opportunity? What would you want them to know?

Anna had spent two decades criticising herself and decisions she had made, punishing her body; trying to be "enough" for everybody and still feeling "less than". In her early forties, she experienced a shift in perspective and was able to reflect on past experiences with older, wiser eyes. Green Pigs and Me is a collection of letters to Anna's younger self, written during the pandemic lockdown. She looks back at key events in her lifetime with kindness and gratitude, giving her younger self the hope and guidance that she needed fifteen years ago. Her wish is that others will also find hope, and maybe reach out to their own younger self to explore their past, to meet themselves again with compassion and understanding, and to move forward from what may be keeping them stuck.
