WHOA! What? Word. by SHE WEARS WORTH
A weekly podcast where we talk about all things as it relates to your worth & value & where it comes from. Our hope is to give you glimpses of God’s goodness, challenge worldly views, share personal stories & dig into what the 'Word' has to say about it. We want you to know that your worth has nothing to do with what you do & everything to do with what Christ already did on the cross. This podcast is for the Christian teen, Christian women, and anyone hoping to learn more about what Christ says about your worth! We are so excited you’re here! Sit back, have fun, listen, learn & live confidently in who God created you to be!

23. Bloom Through What You Go Through, Healing From Bullying with Andi Long
In this week’s episode, I get the chance to speak with Andi Long, the Founder & Executive Director of Bloom Foundation. An organization based in Austin, Texas that empowers and encourages young women to grow through what they go through, specifically bullying.
Andi felt called to start the organization after years of experiencing bullying herself. It started in elementary school, continued in middle school, and again in college. After researching and looking for tools that could help her cope with what she was going through and coming up empty-handed, she felt God call her to share her story and create an organization. She took her hurt, pain, and struggles and was determined to help other girls experiencing the same thing!
Today, the Bloom Foundations helps teen girls all over grow through what they are going through, by equipping them with tools to work through the emotions, hurt, confusion, and more, that come with being bullied. Andi not only shares with us parts of her story, but more information on the organization, what the Bloom Foundation offers, and how to get involved.
Foundational Values of Bloom Foundation:
1. Belief
2. Perspective
3. Habits & Creative Outlets
4. Purpose

7. Growth - your story can become your strength
