More Reviews From The Past!
I can’t believe how helpful this was. I really liked the yoga and want to do more of it!
The relationship goals personally helped me. Thank you so much!
Everything was so positive, I loved it! I now understand that letting go of toxic people and positively moving on with life will help me move forward.
I liked the activities that got us moving and the communication tools.
I know I want to be more assertive, now that I know how to.
I’ve always had trouble with friendships in the past. I never knew how to see when a friend was toxic before it was too late. This camp really helped me find the red flags in a friendship and since then, I have saved myself from many other toxic friendships. The skincare stuff we did was also a life saver, and my acne is so much better now. So is my self confidence!!
