The Crisis Facing our Girls and Young Women

I spend days upon days researching about the topic of confidence. I find it most fascinating. Confidence seems to be that elusive thing that everyone wants more of but often, we are just not sure where to find it. Sometimes we have it and then we lose it and wonder how to supercharge it again. The research I have done is quite niche. It is not about everyone’s confidence. It is purely focused on why need to instil it in our girls and young women. During my research, I read about how many girls are struggling with confidence and I felt an overwhelming passion to make a difference, no matter how big or small. Sometimes there are just things that keep you up at night. For me; this is one of them.

As a parent, myself and a mum of three (two sons and a daughter), building resilient, confident children is high on my agenda. But I know, saying we want to do this and achieving it; is really tricky. In fact, being a parent could be the hardest job we will ever do.
