Meet Sophia

Sophia used to get overwhelmed and shut down when things got hard. In the program, she learned tools to manage stress and speak up when she needs help. Her teacher shared that she’s now more confident, connected, and kind, both to herself and others.

Meet Romina

Before joining Life I Love, Romina was quiet and unsure of herself. Through weekly sessions, she found her voice, learned how to express her emotions, and now leads mindfulness activities for her class. She says LiL helped her feel “more calm and more like me.”
