One of our 5 keys we focus on in our workshops is Good Friends versus Bad Friends. Coming up with ideas for this station, came from a lot of personal experience when going through my self-worth trials. These friendships are something that I have realized have a huge impact on my view of self. Often, we let those around us; greatly influence what we think of ourselves. Sometimes we can be surrounding ourselves with “bad” friends and not even realize they are subtly bring us down. I found a list on the internet that can help you decipher if your friends are “good” friends or “bad” friends. As you read it, think about those closest to you and which category they fall into. It took a long time for me to learn the difference myself, and I feel I am finally at a place where I no longer have toxic friends in my life.

So there, that’s a topic; let’s talk about how we can be unapologetic, brave, resilient girls and celebrate our enoughness.

Thank you to our Guest Blogger Shelley Leighliter for her incredible story and support for the SSS Project. You think answering the question "What Does Self Worth Mean To You?" can be difficult to answer, try compiling your life story into one blog post. She had to dig deep and be honest to compile her story and we love and appreciate her for going there. I am almost a half century old and I am just now starting to figure things out. Sad in a way, but in another I have a lot more understanding and compassion for what I am witnessing in myself and others. It's amazing what can happen in that amount of time. I have had very tragic things happen to me over my lifetime, one alone could give me an "excuse" to be a victim or to give up. It never crossed my mind as an option. I just pushed through life and always found myself leading some type of rebellious act. For some reason, I take great personal responsibility for demanding that fairness and kindness be
