If talking kindly to plants helps them to grow,  just imagine what it would do for us humans!

Today we’re chatting with Andi Long, Founder and CEO of Bloom Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to empower and encourage girls experiencing bullying.

Listen in to this encouraging conversation around learning how to be kind to others as well as ourselves, and changing the narrative from being bullied to becoming a leader.

Show Highlights:

  • Andi shares her traumatic personal experience with cyberbullying as a young girl.
  • Brushing the matter off compounds the pain of the experience, but validating words helps to heal.
  • Bloom Foundation teaches empathy and other social-emotional intelligence.
  • Andi discusses the reason she founded Bloom Foundation and the programs offered to middle school and high school girls.
  • Words are powerful, and there can be a disconnect in written words.
  • Words build up or tear down, and Bloom Foundation teaches how to choose validating words, for others and also for ourselves.
  • Andi speaks to how COVID has impacted the programs.
  • Email [email protected] for information on how Bloom Foundation can bring its programs to your schools, after-school programs, churches, or non-profit organizations.
  • Andi relates a story about one of the young girls who has gone through the program and the impact it has had on her life.
