This week's episode takes a different approach as I shine the light on Jacinta, a resilient advocate committed to making a difference in the lives of young people by addressing issues of bullying and domestic violence.  From overcoming high school bullying to navigating an abusive relationship, Jacinta now shares her journey through the "Just Another Girl Project." Traveling across Australia, she visits secondary schools, addressing issues like bullying, mental health, body image, and abusive relationships.

Jacinta's impactful work has earned her recognition, including the prestigious Mental Health Coalition ACT Award. Her inspiring and selfless efforts have left an incredible mark on the community. Jacinta's mission is to inspire, empower, raise awareness, and make a positive change. 

If you would like to learn more about Jacinta’s empowering work, follow her on Instagram or Just Another Girl Project for more information.
