After my decade long battle with depression, anxiety, and body dysmorphia, I decided to write a book about the lessons I've learned along the way and how I grew into the strong, confident, and independent woman I am today, so you can keep going too. This book is a guide for girls and young women who are struggling with their self-worth and confidence as they are navigating through some of the most difficult years of their lives. Being a girl isn't easy, especially with social media and society telling us how to look, and how to act, but I'm here to say that you are not alone. I've been through it all, and so have millions of other women before you. Suffering from mental illnesses is not something to be ashamed of. My goal is to start a discussion in our community regarding mental health and the issues many of us face. We should no longer feel ashamed for going through these widespread issues but instead feel empowered to speak up, ask for help, and build a community of girls supporting girls. I hope that after reading this, you feel passionate to work towards a happier and healthier you. I hope that you find your confidence and voice again. I wrote this book to help others who are struggling with the same battles I did, to find their strength once again. So join me as we work towards a happier and healthier you.
