Today I talk to Mandy Dante. Mandy is the founder of Flourish Girl, a TEDx Speaker, an Ex-Speech Pathologist, and an Australian Accredited Facilitator. Very early on in her career Mandy recognised that there was a significant rise in depression, anxiety, and eating disorders amongst teenage girls. She took the leap and left her speech pathology career, shifting her passion, and focus towards giving teenage girls a voice, and created the not for profit, Flourish girl.
Today’s conversation we delve deep into the incredible work that Flourish Girl provides to young girls, and how we can empower, and educate the younger generation, as well as our own inner child, to love and honour their/ our bodies. We also discuss the importance of creating a safe space as a collective, to help others to feel comfortable to speak up, and ask for help.
