Hi, I'm Hattie!

If you’re reading this, it means you came across one of my Confidence Cards, or maybe I gave you one in person! Thank you for taking the time to check out my little corner of the internet!

What is Project Growing in Confidence?

In the summer of 2026, I was inspired to start giving out Confidence Cards as a passion project after a few public interactions chatting to people who were struggling with issues such as confidence and body image. We are living in a world where suddenly thin is back in and there is enormous pressure from society to fit in with the status quo. Some of us may have been feeling this pressure our entire lives. This is something we need to fight back against – we all deserve to feel comfortable and at peace in our own bodies, no matter what size or shape! Sometimes we just need a small message from a stranger to remind ourselves how awesome we are as humans, and that we hold the power within ourselves to turn a day (and our whole lives) around. This is what it’s all about. If my card helped you at all, please feel free to share the message and pass it on. 

A little about me –  I’m somebody who struggled a lot in the past with confidence issues and low self-esteem. Thirteen years ago I had my first therapy session, which kickstarted my journey to where I am now: feeling happy in myself and ultimately, freedom – in my relationship with food and my body. The thing that popped up over and over again throughout the years was needing to grow my self-worth and boosting my confidence, to reach the point in my life where I’m no longer scared to say no to things, and I feel good enough to really delve into my passions and chase my dreams. I hope that I can inspire you to do the same.
