When you’re a teenager – you’re on the cusp of life in the big wide world and that is exhilarating and debilitating in the same breath.

It’s a time when a mish-mash of expectations from all corners of the universe collie – leaving you, the teenager, on any given day feeling, fabulous and confident, full of bravado and then tired, then anxious, then insecure, uncertain and full of tears and fears.

It’s such a challenging time.

Our guest today Ruby Riethmuller is building an organisation where girls lead girls through this tricky time, by matching teenage girls with a sister-like figure who’s not intimidating, who’s young and she gets it.

Last month Ruby’s idea shot to fame when she won the BFTB and PayPal AU Big Break competition – which means a whole suite of new tools can be added to her innovative approach to young mental health.
