Stories
Every woman & every girl inspires us.
We are deeply grateful to those who have shared their stories about breakthroughs in their lives, the ways in which they have overcome fears, beliefs, or events that once kept them from connecting with their inner strength and recognizing their follow the link amazingness. Some of these stories are stories of pain and how a women or girl triumphed over it.
As you read these stories, rather than focusing on the pain, choose to focus instead on the triumph and the ways that others have overcome what may once have seemed impossible to overcome.
Let's celebrate their triumphs!
