Welcome to The Ugly Duckling Diary (formerly SwanWaters Healing Podcast) where I, Mags Thomson, will be reading to you from my book!

The Ugly Duckling Diary invites you to explore emotional abuse as I recount my own experiences and help you make sense of this power dynamic. This book is a potent combination of powerful storytelling and practical resources and although this may feel like a heavy topic, there will be plenty of giggles along the way because I am here to uplift my fellow survivors and help them find life beyond abuse
