1-Minute Read: What your daughter needs most… is what you need most
Girls and women need more confidence.
- With confidence a girl will be able to speak up for herself in school and with friends/boyfriends.
- With confidence a woman will be able to ask for a raise or set appropriate boundaries in her relationships.
We’re not born with confidence. We create it.
It comes from a tiny spark of confidence which we all have; it just needs fuel to grow.

“Relationship Confidence” is an essential part of your happiness. My passion is helping women and girls build their confidence — especially their relationship confidence.
