I know I want to be more assertive, now that I know how to.
Yoga. I needed yoga. I’d never done yoga. I love yoga.
The meditations helped me calm down my anger.
Oh my gosh! Dr. Paula and her crew taught us sooooo many ways to grow our self-confidence! I have noticed so many ways the retreats have changed my life already, and it is truly empowering.
I’ll use the ‘cross-crawl’ technique for sure…that is awesome!

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!!
I feel happier about myself.
