It has been invaluable so far. 

It’s taken me til I’m close to 50 but I’m finally learning to honour and invest in myself and trust that everyone else will be OK.

My biggest wish is that I can now share with and mentor girls to realise their true value and worth and step into womanhood with confidence and backing themselves every step of the way and not wait til they are halfway through their life!!
