GIRL TALK WORKSHOPS

Handling Stress & Anxiety

A Girls Spark Virtual Experience for Middle & High School Girls

🌿 About This Workshop

Stress is something every girl experiences—but most aren’t taught how to manage it in healthy, empowering ways.

Join us on Sunday, March 15th at 7PM (Virtual) for an interactive Girls Spark session led by stress management health educator Jessica Hallahan, founder of Journey to Yourself.

In this supportive and engaging workshop, girls will learn practical tools to recognize stress, calm anxiety in the moment, and shift negative thought patterns into confident, empowering self-talk. This isn’t just about “coping”—it’s about building lifelong skills for resilience, emotional awareness, and self-trust.

Participants will leave feeling grounded, confident, and equipped with tools they can use immediately—at school, at home, and in everyday life.

📊 Why This Matters

• We have approximately 60,000 thoughts per day, and research suggests up to 80% are negative.
• Chronic stress impacts mood, focus, sleep, and confidence.
• Mindfulness practices like deep breathing can lower cortisol (the stress hormone) within minutes.
• When girls understand what’s happening in their minds and bodies, they gain power over their responses.

Education builds awareness. Awareness builds confidence. Confidence builds resilient girls.

✨ Key Takeaways

During this session, participants will:

Recognize the three main symptoms of stress (physical, emotional, and behavioral).

Learn the basics of mindfulness—paying attention without judgment.

Understand how negative self-talk shapes confidence—and how to rewrite the story.

Practice simple calming techniques like belly breathing to reduce anxiety instantly.

Gain realistic, doable tools to build daily self-care and self-love habits.

This is not about perfection. It’s about progress and learning how to come back to yourself.
