Are you a teenage girl or a parent of a young girl looking for opportunities to develop valuable life skills?



Embracing Your Journey: Personal Growth and Development for Women and Girls. 


As we navigate the complexities of life, personal growth and development become essential tools for empowerment. At What Makes You Feel Beautiful, we believe that every woman and girl possesses an inner strength that can be nurtured through self-love, confidence-building, and continuous learning. Here are some insights and advice to help you on your journey of personal growth and development.



1. Cultivate Self-Love: The foundation of personal growth is self-love. It's about accepting yourself fully, embracing your imperfections, and treating yourself with kindness and compassion. Start by practicing positive affirmations, setting aside time for self-care, and surrounding yourself with people who uplift you.


2. Build Your Confidence: Confidence is not about being perfect; it's about being comfortable in your own skin. Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone, whether it's trying something new or speaking up for what you believe in. Celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and remember that every experience is an opportunity for growth.


3. Set Personal Goals: Identify what you want to achieve in different areas of your life, whether it's in your career, education, relationships, or personal well-being. Setting clear goals gives you direction and purpose, and achieving them provides a sense of accomplishment that boosts your self-esteem.


4. Embrace Lifelong Learning: Personal growth is a continuous journey. Embrace the mindset of a lifelong learner by seeking new experiences, acquiring new skills, and staying curious about the world around you. Remember, every challenge is a chance to learn and grow.


5. Practice Mindfulness: In our fast-paced world, it's essential to take a moment to pause and reflect. Practice mindfulness through meditation, journaling, or simply spending time in nature. Mindfulness helps you stay grounded, reduces stress, and enhances your overall well-being.


6. Seek Support and Mentorship: You don't have to walk this path alone. Seek support from friends, family, or mentors who can provide guidance, encouragement, and a different perspective. Joining a community of like-minded individuals can also be incredibly empowering.


As we celebrate personal growth and development, we invite all young girls and their parents or guardians to join us for the Maui GEMs Girls Day on March 22, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at 483 S High St, Wailuku, HI 96793.


This event is a wonderful opportunity to inspire and empower girls aged 13 to 17 through interactive workshops on resume building, interview skills, professional communication, and networking. It's also a chance to introduce them to the Maui GEMs internship program and learn more about who we are.


This is a free event. Remember to wear comfortable clothing and bring a notebook and pen for note-taking. Refreshments will be provided.



Embracing personal growth and development is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. It's about becoming the best version of yourself and inspiring others along the way. Join us at Maui GEMs Girls Day to take the next step in your journey and celebrate the power of personal growth.


We look forward to seeing you there and embarking on this journey together!
