from Whatever You Can Know. · host Tanya Savva

And how, almost 17 years down the track, I still love washing the walls of her fingerprints, because it reminds me of all that we’ve achieved to overcome a diagnosis that was pretty dire in those early days.Support the showConnect with Tanya:WebsiteSubstackInstagramThis episode was recorded on Dharug Country and I acknowledge and pay my respects to the traditional custodians of this land.
