Just Be You is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help women, teens, and young adults cultivate self-love and compassion, find their voice, and embrace who they truly are.​
At Just Be You, our message encourages everyone to embrace their unique self while outfitting them with the tools needed to understand and implement self-compassion and resilience. When we are kinder to ourselves we are better equipped to handle adversity and are kinder and more compassionate toward others.
As a motivational speaker, I’m passionate about empowering others to embrace their unique selves, silence self-doubt, and shift from comparison to confidence. Through my talks, I encourage audiences especially young women to practice positive self-talk, celebrate individuality, and lead with authenticity in every area of life.
"One of the most beautiful journeys in life is the discovery of embracing who we are and feeling comfortable in our own skin."
"What you think of you will always be more powerful than what others think of you. When you can align with your authentic self and find peace, you will find it’s a much greater gift than fitting in can ever give you. "
