I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, spending my pivotal self esteem building years in this climate meant seeing one narrow idea of health everywhere: being skinny was everything. This idea was limiting, and it overlooked the true meaning of wellness. Now, leading EnlightenHer, I'm on a mission to change that. We're shifting the focus from how we look to how we feel and what our bodies can do.
My personal journey with self-esteem, especially body image, was tough. Although I thought I was open to therapy and mindfulness, I found it less than helpful and approached it with cynicism and doubt. It was a dark place where the power of mindfulness and positive thinking seemed too simple to be true. But these tools were a turning point for me. They helped me break through the negativity and see things clearly.
At EmpowerHer, we're teaching young girls this crucial lesson. It's not about fitting a specific look; it's about feeling strong and happy in your own body. We use wellness and mindfulness to build a positive self-image and a healthy mind. These aren't just feel-good terms; they're practical ways to help girls appreciate and care for themselves.
In our quest to redefine body positivity, EnlightenHer is excited to roll out a series of innovative workshops and courses. These sessions will delve into a variety of topics like nutrition basics, making fitness fun and accessible, the art of mindfulness, and the science of happiness. We hope to offer interactive cooking classes that celebrate healthy eating, yoga and dance workshops that emphasize joy in movement, and meditation sessions for mental wellness. Our goal is to provide practical, engaging, and informative experiences that resonate with young girls, empowering them to build a positive relationship with their bodies and minds. These workshops aren't just about learning; they're about experiencing and embracing a lifestyle where wellness and self-care are celebrated.
This core mission works alongside others: critical thinking, skill-building, and community involvement. Each plays a part in empowering girls to trust themselves, find their talents, and value strong connections. Together, they form a complete approach to self-worth.
We invite you to join and support us in making a real difference.
