Stortford Spotlight Answers

1. Billboard in Jackson Square

“You’ve always been more than enough.”

A message especially for teenagers, who Elle sees carrying immense pressure around identity, comparison, and belonging. She says hearing this can be genuinely life-changing.

Nutritious Sounds – John Dullup https://www.instagram.com/nutritioussounds

John runs powerful sound baths using gongs, bowls, and vibration to help reset the nervous system and quiet the mind.
Elle describes him as generous, grounding, and deeply caring, someone she hopes never gets “too busy” because of how special his work is.
