What is REALWoman?

REALWoman Empowerment Workshops

“Thank you again so much for everything this weekend. It was one of the most powerful, healing, and inspiring weekends I have ever had. When I left there Sunday night I felt whole. Like I had found that piece of me I had been looking for…the one I knew I had put somewhere but didn’t know how to find let alone what I would do with it once I did :)” – Jessica, 36

“Research tells us that girls’ self esteem peaks when they are about nine years old, then plummets. What I know from my work with girls and women through the ages of 8-59, is that once it has plummeted it rarely, if ever, returns to those nine year old levels without diligent work to get it back.” – Anea Bogue
