🧩 Pull Yourself Together — Daily English Idiom #25
Ep #25 teaches "pull yourself together" — to calm yourself down and regain control of your emotions or behavior — through three 4:5 flat-illustration cards: a character literally scattered in pieces with an alarmed expression, a bold eggplant-purple definition card, and a real-life pre-presentation pep talk between Alex and Sam using the idiom in natural conversation.
