In August 2020, we asked ourselves:Ā What could we have achieved & accomplished with the tools we have now?Ā Everywhere we looked, we saw girls strugglingāgrappling with confidence issues, battling negative self-talk, wrestling with poor self-image, and navigating the tricky waters of anxiety and depression. It hit close to home. Hadnāt we been in those exact same shoes 20 years ago?
