WE Network's 30 Day/30 Minutes a Day Self-Love Bootcamp Challenge
Because of the difficult circumstances we faced in 2020, and because of our need to stay connected, the WE Network put together a 30-day, 30 minutes a day self-love virtual bootcamp. The bootcamp streamed live on Instagram every evening for 30 days, and covered a lot of topics surrounding self-love through discussions, interviews, and fun activities.
Most of our 30-day challenge videos have been added to our blog, so we encourage you to check them out! The bootcamp was a big success, and we're happy to be able to share the videos with you for current and future enjoyment and empowerment.
