Participant Testimonials
What others Say about Their Experience
Inner strength & confidence
“I was looking for my daughter to find inner strength to boost her confidence. My daughter loved hearing Jenny's personal reflections. It helped her understand no one is perfect and that God allows us to move forward. Personally, my best take-a-way was realizing how often I "replay" negative thoughts in my head. I can let those thoughts go and move forward toward the future.”
--Mom
Closer relationship
“I came hoping to grow in self-confidence, and I did! I left with a stronger bond with my mom and sister. The activities were so fun, especially making matching prayer charm bracelets together.”
--Daughter (High School)
I LOVED this event!
“I gained exactly what I hoped from this ! I grew closer to my mom, opening up to her a way that I hadn’t before. I also grew in my relationship with God. This taught me ways I can combine mental health and simple prayer with breathing techniques. Jenny’s passion, storytelling, and explanations helped me to learn about my faith in a new and fun way. I would highly recommend it for any mom or daughter looking to become closer with each other and God in a memorable way.”
--Daughter (High School)
