In this episode, we talked about how becoming a solo artist and making exactly the work she wanted drastically changed Rebecca's mental health, how dancing brought RLT back to her body, bridging the gap between Slow Club and Self Esteem and bringing her joy, becoming a badge entrepreneur - how designing badges and fulfulling her own merch during lockdown has helped Rebecca feel useful (despite having the handwriting of a little naughty boy"!), the pros and cons of relentless touring, and how that changes as you grow older and wiser and leaving no surface unstatemented - how RLT is making up for lost time after years of not being able to say what she meant.
