Girl in Progress: Your Journey to Awesome

Most tween girls feel like they are "under construction"—because they are. Girl in Progress is a 242-page interactive workbook that serves as a "quiet coach" for girls aged 9–13. Grounded in developmental psychology and real-life friendship dynamics, it provides a safe space for girls to explore their changing world with feisty grace and quiet confidence.

A Glimpse Inside

Grounded in Science. Designed for Real Life.

We bridge the gap between high-level developmental psychology and the Tuesday-morning reality of being 11 years old. From understanding the "Brain Under Construction" (prefrontal cortex vs. amygdala) to mastering the "Real Fire vs. Burnt Toast" anxiety framework, we give girls the vocabulary to understand their own inner world.

  • Perfect for the kitchen table. Use this as a bridge to start difficult conversations about social media, boundaries, and big emotions.

  • Designed for Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculums. The exercises are classroom-ready and help build a common language for mental health in schools.

  • 242 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, premium paper designed for doodling and journaling. Published by Kaleidoscope Axiom.
