Welcome to Authentic ME. I’m Misty,

A quick little about me — a proud mom of teenagers, entrepreneur, DV survivor, and passionate advocate for helping girls grow into their most confident, authentic selves.

At a very young age, I discovered how broken our world can feel. I was about 6 years old when I learned that my biological father did not want to be a part of my life. This wound of abandonment destroyed me. I grew up feeling unwanted, worthless, and sought acceptance in the wrong places. I tolerated abuse and disrespect in relationships. I developed self-sabotaging habits that negatively affected my jobs and friendships. Through therapy and intentional self-love, I was able to finally allow this wound to heal and start to feel confident.  

The more I learn to love myself, the more I desire to make sure every single girl on this planet gets to experience confidence in a way that feels authentic and free. I want to help girls learn who they are before the world teaches them who they're not, and ensure that they feel loved, worthy, and whole. 

As a mom working in the tech industry, I see every day how important it is for girls to have a strong sense of self-worth and confidence. In a world filled with distractions, filters, fast trends, and pressure to be perfect, Authentic ME is designed to be a safe, uplifting space — where girls can grow in confidence, learn to love who they are, and step boldly into their future with confidence, embracing their creativity and inner beauty. 

Authentic ME is more than a project or a movement — it's my purpose. Watching girls light up when they feel seen, supported, and strong? That’s the kind of success that fills my heart. 

I’m so glad you’re here! Please reach out if you ever have questions or need resources!
