As part of our growth and personal development journey the girls teamed up with Glenn to help on the latest Aella Youth Personal Development Camp. These camps are created to help instill confidence, resilience and perseverance in our young women of today. 

After the three day camp we thought it would be a great idea to sit down and talk about what lesson we took away from both the camp and the girls.

Throughout this first podcast season I'm starting to hear the same message. We have so much armour that stops us from being seen, having courage and stepping forward in the world. We care so much about the way we are percieved.....something I am struggling with. It is so easy to talk about it but actioning these changes in our lives are scary and can be lonely. Just an observation. Self-awareness is definitely the first step to making positive change.
