Birthday Memories, Childhood Bullying & What We Actually Wish For | Fingers Crossed Ep. 32

Birthday Memories, Childhood Bullying & What We Actually Wish For | Fingers Crossed Ep. 32

It's Erica's birthday so we're doing something a little different: a full episode dedicated to birthdays, memories and what actually matters as we get older.


We start with our happiest birthday memories before Erica opens up about being bullied at school and how her mum intervened when the school refused to help. We talk about our favourite presents over the years, our relationship with celebrations and recap our 30th birthdays.


There's a detour into teenage birthdays, why birthday songs are universally awkward and our very strong opinions on massages. Megan reflects on her birthday in 2020 during lockdown, and we both share what we're genuinely wishing for this year, not just materially but for ourselves and our lives.


A nostalgic, honest conversation about growing up and what birthdays mean when you're not a kid anymore.



🎙️ Fingers Crossed is a mental health and life podcast hosted by Erica and Megan.
