The Be Yourself Love Yourself program has helped me in so many ways. My story is like most, as a teenage girl I overthink and stress about school, people, sports, etc. My mom found Brittany through one of her friends. She gave me a week to think about BYLY last spring. At first, I didn't want to do it and thought it was silly, the more I thought about it I realized it wouldn't hurt to do a program that is focused on high school girls dealing with mental health. My experience was so great. BYLY has helped me so much. I am continuing my BYLY journey this winter. During this program, you get to experience new things, whether it’s meditation, journaling, or meeting new people.

Having a life coaching session every Wednesday night was a highlight of this past fall. It forced me to get into the habit of making time to take care of myself, something that is especially difficult in today's fast-paced, work-driven society. It came at a perfect time; college is an ideal setting and phase of life to learn what makes me tick and how to love myself so that I can use my passions to give back to the world for the rest of my life. The community aspect of BYLY reassured me constantly that I am not alone in my journey of self-love, helping me forgive and accept my own struggles, as well as gain confidence that change IS possible. I loved it so much that I am participating in BYLY this winter as well.

I have been journaling on a daily basis on-and-off for a few years now, but there is nothing like having an objective third-party like Brittany to read and respond to all the funny, confusing, and wild things that go on in my mind. Co-journaling has been especially helpful as I am in a time of transition and significant growth in my academic interests and activities. She responds to each entry with considerable thought and care and proposes useful prompts to further my writing. I have learned so much about myself through emptying my brain into a journal and by the end of the three-month session, I will have over fifty pages replete with insights, tips, and reflections to document my journey.

My experience was so great. Brittany is one of the coolest people I know. She was always open to talk 24/7 and answered any questions I had. Now I am a more confident and happy person. I guarantee you that Brittany will open your eyes and show you that you can become a happy and energetic person no matter what you are going through. My life, thoughts, and vibes have changed. Even my friends/family have noticed a change in the way I act. Brittany is an amazing person, she is easy to talk to and her life story/ what she has gone through is amazing.
