An ode to the fabulous Standard Issue magazine. Sign up for their podcast here I have spent most of my life wondering why I wasn’t up to ‘standard’.

But that doesn’t stop us – it certainly never stopped me – aiming for whatever we interpret these standards to be – and when you’re anxious and awkward, the path to them can be even steeper.
