It’s designed to build you up and give you self- esteem and self- confidence.

Yeah, I’m talking to you. On Dec. 28, 29 and 30, Doctor Joneil Conley of Alma will be hosting an online BOLD program designed to help young girls ages 10-to-18 find joy, selfconfid­ence, self- esteem and much, much more.

This virtual BOLD program runs from noon to 2 p.m. on Dec. 28-30 and will be hosted by certified BOLD facilitato­rs Joneil Conley, Brenda Florida and Emily Montforton Stanley. Each facilitato­r has undergone extensive training and in all there are only 20 certified BOLD facilitato­rs in the United

States.

The program as a whole is developed by coaches, educators and psychologi­sts with the input of women and girls and designed to leave a lasting imprint on the lives of young girls and women. Moreover, the mission is to help girls feel strong, confident and powerful all while helping create a generation of young women who are ready to stand tall, use their voices and go after their dreams.

Cost for the three- day program is $149 and registrati­on for the program is available here — https://bit.ly/34cw8ca

The three- day program is designed to increase confidence, self- esteem and empower young girls in the areas of:

• Social Media

• Cultivatin­g joy and creating amazing friendship­s

• Body image, food and movement

• Style

• Mindset Speaking up and using your voice

• There will also be a discount offered for siblings.

For Conley the program is an extension of what she loves to do, which helping people. As a Registered Nurse Conley has spent her life helping people, yet it goes beyond that in that she is a graduate of COACHU and has a practice for people who have been bullied. As a certified BOLD facilitato­r she helps girls and woman overcome the diet culture and learn how to appreciate their bodies. In short, she helps young woman learn to love themselves.

“I want to help ( young girls and women) find their path with confidence and self- esteem,” said Conley, who’s the creator or the Meanness Matrix, a tool that helps to resist and recover from the impact of negative people and experience­s. “It’s designed to have a maximum impact.”
