​Whew!!! It's tough being a girl and it's tough raising girls.

When was the last time you paused in your day to focus your mind and heart on you?

Have you found yourself consumed with everything around you and lost a little of yourself along the way?

Could you use a little boost in your every day life when it comes to building and maintaining true confidence? 

If you answered YES to any of those questions, then we invite you to join our Confident Community over the next 10 days for a little light and fun infusion into your day with the 10-Confidence Challenge.

It's absolutely FREE so why not?

​Dr. Nicole Steele, the founder and Executive Director of DITR was a featured guest on Atlanta Live - WATC Channel 57 with host Aurea McGarry.
