Turns out running a weekly podcast on your own (while disabled) is actually quite hard! There will be no episode of HEnabled this week while I organise some things behind the scenes.

It's the perfect time to catch up on the show, listen now via the Linktree: linktr.ee/henabled

If you're in year 11 and worried about your GCSE results today, you'll be fine. I got a D in French and graduated from Oxford with a Master's degree in linguistics last month.
Use GCSE's as your next step, but don't look back after that!
