New Mission Dorothy Podcast Series: Unfiltered Letter.There are moments in life when we don’t need more advice but we need a mirror. A voice that sounds like the older version of us saying,“Stop. Don’t go any further down this path. I’ve already been there. And I’m trying to keep you from becoming me… too late.”That’s what this series is.Unfiltered Letters is a raw, uncut podcast experience written as if your future self is writing a letter to the you of today, and it’s not explicit, but it does not sugarcoat. It’s not gentle. It’s truth with teeth — the kind that might sting a little, but it wakes you up.We’re starting with girls ages 13–17. Why? Because this is where so much gets shaped:Your confidence.Your choices.Your self-worth.Your silence.This first letter, “So You Think You’re Grown,” isn’t just about attitude.It’s about identity, validation, shame, survival, and all the ways young girls learn to fake strength instead of actually healing.What to Expect from Each Episode:*A Letter from the Woman You’re Becoming – written in her voice, to the girl you are now*A Real Talk Follow-Up episode where we unpack the truth, line by line*A Beautifully Designed Workbook with journal prompts, self-check assessments, and reflection tools to help you heal, not just listenAnd Here’s the Truth:Even if you're not between 13–17…Even if you think you've outgrown that version of yourself…You might still find yourself in every word. Why? Because pain has no age.Because unhealed patterns don’t expire.And because sometimes, the younger version of us still runs the show ; even if we’re 30, 40, or older.So whether you're a mom, mentor, big sister, or woman still trying to clean up what started in your teens — listen anyway. You may realize you’re still becoming.Unfiltered Letters 1st Episode release date :August 19, 2025 on the Mission Dorothy Podcast www.MissionDorothy.com Workbook Available | “So You Think You’re Grown” (Teen Episode)

In this part 3 episode, I am sharing with you 10 Ways to Set and Maintain Boundaries. By setting boundaries, you respect your own time, needs and wants. I also discuss how to recognize other people's boundaries. When you do not set boundaries you are sacrificing your happiness and you tend to enable others and not allow them to learn how to help themselves. Setting boundaries is a great way to separate your feelings from other people feelings while protecting you emotional, mental and physical well-being. Yes, boundary setting may not feel good if you're not use to being consistent with setting them, but they are surely necessary.
