Neurodiverse Georgia Peach transplanted to Cape Town, the most beautiful city in the world
Each week we have a different area to explore in our Keto Group. This week we are supposed to be aware of 'daily self-talk', you know that little voice that we hear in our heads? I like to call mine my 'Inner Saboteur'. Let's call her 'Miss S' so that I do not have to …
I heard someone refer to the damage from their childhood as having 'scar tissue'. That really resonated with me, and not just because I keloid.
