Today on International Day of The Girl child we want to focus on our healing. We all have elements of trauma that linger from our past.
At Gazzetea we’ve compiled a few inner dialogue journal prompts based on advice we wish we knew sooner. Today, let’s heal our inner girl child by reframing our inner dialogue with sound advice prompts!
