What You’ll Learn About Mental Health and Mental Strength

There are a lot of misconceptions about self-confidence and mental strength. Sometimes, there’s an assumption that the person who works out for countless hours every day must love themselves. But from the outside, it’s sometimes impossible to tell.  Is that person taking care of their body because they love themselves or are they trying to change their body so they can finally feel ‘good enough?'

Quotes From Jazmyn

“I am strong. I am brave. I am handsome. I am gifted. We go through these things every single day because I want it to be a small voice in the back of my children’s heads.““Someone that’s full of love doesn’t bully.”
