Do you ever feel full of self-doubt, or feel like you can't turn off your thoughts? Hilary wants to tell you, you're not alone. Why is it that we are taught dental hygiene our whole lives, but never mental hygiene? Imagine what your life would look like if your self-care game was as strong as your floss routine.

Life is full of challenges and transitions, and when these obstacles become overwhelming, certain emotions and behavioral patterns may affect your relationships, career, and sense of self-esteem. As a therapist specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and eating disorders, Hilary provides a safe space to identify what you'd like your life to look like, and explore what's keeping you "stuck".

I truly think everyone can benefit from getting to know themselves a little better, so sit back, relax and enjoy!

Audrey Hepburn has always been a role-model to many, and the epitome of grace and poise. Why do you want poise? Because when you have poise, you have total physical and mental mastery over yourself. It's the grand finale of all our self-development. When you have poise you can walk and talk with confidence. It's not about impressing anybody else, it's about feeling like the best version of you. Poise is made up of self-confidence, self-worth and a whole lot of self-respect. Poise is honesty and integrity. It's having the dignity to do the best for you and holding your head high.

I was absolutely touched by this story. In my research during the conception of GRLKND, I found that Beyond Blue states, "Suicide is the biggest killer of young Australians and accounts for the deaths of more young people than car accidents." I struggle to grapple with this concept and I know I'm not alone. Thank you for sitting with us this week and tuning into a topic that requires our attention more than ever.

Imagine if you could live your passion every day? Ooh girl, I'm so excited for you! The 'art of starting' can mean supporting a new hobby, developing a passion, opening a business and everything in between that requires taking a leap of faith. I get it, it's super scary, but it's also super exciting! Stop avoiding your passion by holding onto fear and pursue it from a place of love! You got this x

Amy Kate is a dear friend of mine who founded @TheMindfulCollective. Amy is a Psychologist practising from Brisbane, Australia, also creating products and courses designed to inspire mindful and compassionate change in young women (and the young at heart). It shattered Amy to see how many wonderful women end up in her treatment room because they haven't been taught how to care for themselves, nurture themselves and value themselves. This is what she has now dedicated her life to, alongside her gorgeous therapy dog Evie.

This prolific event has struck the world and although, I feel completely out of my depth speaking about such a sensitive topic, it is part of our story as women, and I feel it is my duty to facilitate a conversation that supports women's rights. I've come to understand that this law is more pro-birth than pro-life and certainly anti-choice and anti-women's bodily autonomy, which is why it's so important for us to uphold the human right of autonomy over our bodies and the right to exercise our reproductive rights.

Be brave, be understanding, speak up and try to get the men around you involved too. Pregnancy and abortion can affect everyone. If you're going through a pregnancy termination or an unwanted pregnancy, please know that there is support available. @YellowFund in the US is doing wonderful things, alongside @PlannedParenthood, and Reproductive Choice Australia can provide assistance for Australian-based women.

Please know that we respect every kind of pregnancy or almost-pregnancy story, and lend our hearts to the women going through challenging times.
