From the Book Pocket Rainbow:
Chapter: Scarlet
In this chapter, Ntombi as various recollections of her mother -- some positive, some traumatic. We understand why she's on the street at age 14. 

Please note: there are thousands of colours in a rainbow, not just seven. The titles of the chapters reflect that.

🎙️ Why Perfectionism Kills Your IELTS Fluency — and What to Do in 3 Seconds.

I’ve seen it hundreds of times — students who know all the grammar, all the phrases, yet freeze the moment they have to speak. Their voice tightens, their mind goes blank, and all that knowledge disappears.

In this episode, I talk about why that happens — and why perfectionism is the real enemy of fluency. I’ll share a story from one of my students, explain what’s going on in your head when you start overthinking, and show you a simple 3-second shift that helps you sound calm, confident, and real — even in front of an examiner.

If you’ve ever felt that your English suddenly “dies” when you need it most, this episode will help you bring it back to life.

Stay till the end — I’ve got a small bonus for you and a way to get personal feedback after the episode.
