How to Give Yourself Flowers
Giving yourself flowers is so good for your mental health! And you don’t have to be achieving big things to celebrate yourself.
So often, we wait for someone else to notice us and to acknowledge how far we’ve come, celebrate what we’ve accomplished, or remind us that we’re doing a good job. Giving yourself flowers means learning to do some of that for yourself too!

MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi, I’m Vanessa Flowers!
I’m the founder of Flower Girls Meet, a community I started in 2015 to create space for honest conversations about work, life, mental health, and how we can take better care of ourselves.
What started from my own experiences navigating PCOS and mental health has grown into a space where women can learn from one another, hear from trusted experts, and feel a little less alone as they move through different seasons of life.
Eleven years later, I’m still learning, creating, and growing right alongside this community!
