March is a special month for Flower Girls because it commemorates when it all began. It’s been exactly 9 years! We couldn’t be happier with how much we’ve grown over the years. We are not only doing community events, but making our mark in the corporate world and the school system too! In celebration, we’re sharing 9 things we’ve learned in 9 years of cultivating space for authentic conversations about work, our mental health, womanhood, and overall well-being.
1. Your mental health and well-being are more important than other people’s opinion of you.
2. You are not your job, trauma or struggles. You are a human being who deserves to be seen and heard.
3. Talking to people about what you’re going through is healing.
4. Therapists are a godsend and deserve all of the flowers.
5. Finding the right doctor, therapist or any healthcare professional takes time, research and patience.
6. Your voice matters, your opinion counts, and you will find people who see you if you share your story.
7. Like-minded people love coming together to share a laugh and learn new things.
8. Community and connection are the answer to a lot of our problems.
9. We don’t have to know the answers to everything we’re going through. We just need to be willing to do the work and try new things that will improve our well-being.
We can’t wait to see what’s next! Thank you for being here.
