In this short but beautifully nostalgic letter, ThePeculiarPoet looks back on being 17, sneaking into a music festival with friends and experiencing the kind of carefree teenage freedom that feels endless when you’re young. Through memories of neon lights, glowsticks, music drifting through the woods and nights that seemed to exist outside the real world, this letter captures a feeling many of us recognise — looking back on a moment in our youth and wishing we could experience that freedom just one more time. A reminder that not every letter needs to be long, profound or life-changing. Sometimes a letter can simply hold onto a memory, a feeling or a moment you don’t want to forget. And that’s exactly what The Letterbox Podcast is for. Any letter is welcome. 💌 If you have a letter you’d like to share, send it to theletterboxpodcast@outlook.com .

At 25 years old, Laura ( @laurabudreviciene ) was told she might not live to see 30. Now, as she prepares to celebrate her 30th birthday, she’s the healthiest and happiest she’s ever been. Over five years, she’s lost almost 25 stone and has recently undergone life-changing skin removal surgery—a milestone that marks just one chapter in a much bigger story. Because this isn’t really a story about weight loss. It’s a letter to the younger version of herself who believed life wouldn’t begin until she was thinner. A letter about discovering that confidence isn’t found on the scales, happiness isn’t measured by a goal weight, and the greatest transformation wasn’t physical at all—it was learning to believe she was enough. In this heartfelt episode of The Letterbox Podcast , Laura reflects on resilience, motherhood, marriage, mental health, body image, self-worth and the unexpected ways one decision can change the trajectory of an entire life. If you’ve ever felt like your life was on hold while waiting to become someone else, this letter is for you. A huge thank you to Laura for sharing such an honest and hopeful letter.

“I am eager to see my love every day. Maybe it will happen today, tomorrow… maybe in 10 years. But I will be waiting.” In this episode of The Letterbox Podcast , ‘O’, a 25-year-old writer from Belgrade, Serbia, shares a deeply personal love letter to someone she has carried in her heart for nine years. This is a story of unrequited love , longing, hope, and the quiet impact one person can have without ever knowing it. T became a source of happiness and comfort during one of the hardest periods of O’s life, yet he may not even remember who she is. As the years pass, O still remembers every word she wrote for him. She still hopes their paths might cross again. This letter is about holding onto memories, finding light in unexpected places, and believing that even after nine years, some stories may not be over.

What happens when your mind is full of dreams, but your body can no longer keep up? In this episode of The Letterbox Podcast, Sophie @cep_soph, a 30-year-old NHS Clinical Exercise Physiologist, writes to the body she once knew. Living with Crohn’s disease, POTS, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), gastroparesis and other chronic health conditions, Sophie knows what it means to grieve a life that changed without permission. This letter explores the hidden grief of chronic illness: losing your independence, questioning your identity, carrying guilt for needing help, and learning to live in a body that no longer moves at the pace your heart still longs for. Whether you’re living with an invisible illness, chronic pain, disability, chronic fatigue, or you’re supporting someone who is, Sophie’s words are a reminder that strength isn’t always found in pushing through. Sometimes it’s found in resting, adapting and showing yourself compassion. Thank you so much Sophie, for such an honest and moving letter. 💌The Letterbox Podcast shares real letters about life’s defining moments.

More than one billion plastic nurdles have spilled into the River Tyne, and they’re still washing up along the North East coastline. In this episode of The Letterbox Podcast, Sophie, a PhD student from Newcastle with a passion for ornithology and conservation, writes To the Nurdle.

In this episode of The Letterbox Podcast, Liya shares Dear Stranger—a beautifully observed letter about being seventeen, growing up, identity, friendship, family, and the quiet grief of becoming someone new. It’s a reminder that not every life is defined by one extraordinary moment. Sometimes the most important stories are found in the ordinary days, if we’re paying attention.

Some letters are written to one person. This one is written to anyone who has ever wondered whether they should still be here. Niamh wrote this letter on a flight to Newfoundland, just before setting off on an extraordinary challenge: a solo hike of nearly 700km along the East Coast Trail to raise money and awareness for mental health charities. On 1 March 2024, Niamh attempted to take her own life. Five months later, she completed a solo thru-hike of the East Coast Trail, raising an incredible amount for Canadian mental health initiatives. She’s now walking the trail again—there and back—in the hope that her story helps someone else keep going. This letter includes references to suicidal thoughts and mental health. If you are struggling, please seek support ❤️ You are not alone. Thank you, Niamh (@niamhsullivan), for trusting The Letterbox Podcast with your story. This won’t be the last time you’ll hear from her—once she completes her hike, she’ll return with another letter reflecting on the journey.

What happens when you leave someone who hasn’t done anything wrong? Today’s anonymous letter is about ending a relationship with someone you still love. A partner who is kind, supportive, and your best friend — but a future together no longer feels like the future you want. As conversations turn towards buying a house, getting married, settling down, and starting a family, she begins to imagine a different life. The hardest part? There is no betrayal, no anger, and no obvious reason to walk away. This is a letter about relationship doubts, the fear of hurting someone you love, and the painful realisation that sometimes love alone isn’t enough. It explores what it feels like to question a relationship, decide whether to stay or leave, and make a heartbreaking choice when nobody is the villain. If you’ve ever struggled with whether to end a relationship, felt guilty for wanting something different, or wondered how you can leave someone you still love, this anonymous letter may speak to you. 💌 The Letterbox Podcast is a podcast proving that everyone has a story to tell, one letter at a time. If you have a story you’d like to share, you can submit your own letter anonymously, or, if you’d prefer, read it yourself on the podcast. Send your letter to theletterboxpodcast@outlook.com
What do you say to someone you may never meet, but have loved for years? In the final chapter of Ang’s three-part story, she writes a letter to her future child. After heartbreak, betrayal, and letting go of the life she thought she was building, Ang chooses to write not from grief, but from hope. She reflects on the kind of love she wants to give, the home she hopes to create, and the person she is becoming long before she ever becomes a mother. This isn’t just a letter about motherhood. It’s a letter about healing. About breaking cycles. About learning that love should feel safe, honest, and freely given. And about believing that even if life doesn’t unfold the way we imagined, it can still become something beautiful. Whether you’re longing for a child, healing from your past, or simply learning to trust what’s next, Ang’s words are a gentle reminder that our greatest hopes often begin shaping us long before they become reality. If you’ve been following Ang’s story this week, thank you for being here. And if this is your first episode of The Letterbox Podcast, welcome. If you have a letter you’ve written—a goodbye, a thank you, a confession, or words you’ve never had the chance to say—I would love to read it. 💌 theletterboxpodcast@outlook.com
Dear Ang | Finding Yourself Again After Heartbreak & Starting Over A powerful letter about healing after heartbreak, rediscovering yourself, and rebuilding your life after losing the future you thought you would have. In this episode of The Letterbox Podcast, Ang shares the second letter in her three-part story. After believing her future was already written — a marriage, a home, children, and the life she imagined building — everything changed. But this letter is not about what she lost. It’s about what she found. “Dear Ang” is a letter written to herself during a season of heartbreak, uncertainty, and transformation. A reminder that sometimes what feels like life taking something away is actually life making space for something new. Ang reflects on questioning her identity, her dreams, her worth, and her direction — before discovering a new version of herself. A version who chooses: * adventure over fear * possibility over comfort * self-trust over uncertainty This episode explores: • healing after heartbreak • finding yourself after losing a relationship • rebuilding your confidence and identity • starting a new chapter in life • learning to trust yourself again • embracing change and uncertainty Ang shares what it feels like to grieve the life you thought you would have while slowly falling in love with the life unfolding in front of you. Because sometimes endings are not endings. Sometimes they are invitations disguised as heartbreak. Your future is not gone. It may simply be waiting for you to become brave enough to meet it.

What happens when the person you thought was your forever becomes the person you have to let go of? In this emotional episode of The Letterbox Podcast, Ang shares the letter she wrote after discovering that the relationship she believed she was living wasn’t the reality she was facing. At 41 years old, Ang thought she had found the person she would marry. They spoke about marriage, children, growing old together, and all the ordinary moments that make up a life. But after discovering repeated betrayals and secrets, Ang found herself grieving more than a relationship. She was grieving the future she had already imagined. “Dear Him” is a letter about loving someone deeply, facing broken trust, and finding your way back to yourself. A story about: • healing after relationship betrayal • letting go of someone you still love • grieving the life you thought you would have • rebuilding your identity after heartbreak • choosing peace over resentment This is not a letter of anger. It is a letter of release. Because sometimes the end of one chapter is the beginning of finding yourself again.

In this episode of The Letterbox Podcast, I read one of the deeply personal letters from Letters to My Mum—an ongoing series written by Juliet following the death of her mum. Each letter captures a different moment in grief. The ordinary moments that suddenly become extraordinary after losing a parent. The conversations that can no longer happen. The memories that arrive unexpectedly. The questions left unanswered. Together, they form an honest record of what it means to continue loving someone after they’ve gone. Whether you’ve lost your mum, are grieving the death of a parent, or are simply looking for a reflective podcast about grief, bereavement, love and remembrance, I hope these words remind you that so much of what we experience in grief is shared, even when it feels deeply personal.

In this episode of The Letterbox Podcast, we read a powerful, emotional letter written by Sarah to her spirit baby following pregnancy loss and miscarriage. This letter explores the lived experience of miscarriage, baby loss, pregnancy loss, and grief after losing a baby, alongside the love, healing, and the emotional complexity of carrying and losing a pregnancy. Sarah shares her personal reflections on early pregnancy loss, the bond formed during pregnancy, and the lasting impact of a baby who was deeply loved. Whether you are personally experiencing pregnancy after loss, recurrent miscarriage, stillbirth grief, or early pregnancy loss, or supporting a partner, friend, or family member through baby loss, this episode offers space for reflection, validation, and quiet understanding. It also touches on healing after miscarriage, emotional recovery, and how grief and hope can exist side by side in the journey of pregnancy loss and bereavement.
