HIGHS AND LOWS OF THE WEEK: Self-image, meltdowns and retail therapy
Description
We move from a child’s “ugly” beauty mark to the roots of how we learned to see ourselves, then into ADHD strategies, midlife shifts, and a study win that restores momentum. A domestic spiral ends in repair, a charity shop miracle desk, and a color-coded bookshelf that feels like hope.
