Audrey has a very strong sense of who she is 🌟. However, she does not move through the world with confidence. She has a speech processing delay, which makes the back-and-forth banter that is teen conversation challenging 🌀💬. As a result, she is very quiet and doesn’t often engage with her peers at school.

As a military family, they move a lot, and it takes her a long time to warm up to and connect with other kids her age. She finds it easier to be on her own than in a social group 👥. She longs to connect with other kids 💕 but struggles with making it happen. Audrey is very thoughtful and doesn’t say anything she hasn’t thought out beforehand 🧠✨. Audrey loves books 📚, science, learning about new things (especially facts), and is a HUGE Pokemon fan ⚡🎮🐾.

“Audrey enjoyed getting to make connections with others. She’s been able to see herself in so many different ways 🪞🌟. She said she can now allow herself to let her walls down without worrying that she’s being judged 🙌💖.”

📣 What Audrey’s Mom had to say about the Fearless Spirit experience:
“Since participating in Fearless, we have seen an increase in Audrey’s confidence 💪🌟 and poise 💃✨. She has increased confidence in building friendships. Audrey has really enjoyed connecting and making friends with the other girls in a safe, supportive space.
