Dylan Hardy

I feel a sense of freedom as I am true to myself and don't allow myself to be burdened by the opinion of others. Despite the changes to my face/body, I am surprisingly proud of those changes and have taught myself to embrace my age and shift my focus to a healthy mindset, positive attitude and remain eager to live and learn. I have great wisdom stemming from my life experiences, which fuel my confidence and empowers me to help others and be a strong role model for my daughters.

I work hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle, by exercising daily and eating a healthy diet. I open myself up to trying new things, which is so important. I have 3 really close girlfriends who I adore and even though we are all very different, our support of each other is unwavering. I read a lot and am always trying to perfect my meditation practice. I walk the beach with my two dogs several mornings, which fuels my soul and helps me appreciate how fortunate I am. Protecting My Peace everyday.

Selfishly I would like to use some of the money to attend a wellness/mindfulness retreat. I have always wanted to, but never had the time or money. Majority of the money would be used for my non-profit, the Valentina Campaign. Funding is needed to host events for young girls where we educate them on how to embrace their individuality and build self worth. There is an epidemic of low self esteem among young girls and the Valentina Campaign's mission is to change the way we raise our daughters.
