The Parent:
Both of my girls played Project Discover Me, one preferred to play alone and the other played with me. Afterwards we all talked about how we felt. This was a very thought-out game that created a conversation that was deeper than our usual talks. It was great to see them open up. And it was cool for the daughter I played with see me open up as well. I would definitely recommend.

The Professional:
If you're ready to take your self love and self care practice to the next level, this card game is it! First off, the box is adorable. I LOVE the colors, so warm and vibrant. Super inviting, so my energy shifted instantly and I felt a sense of healing just opening it. It's a very pretty box.
The game was simple to learn and the instructions were very easy to follow. I really liked identifying my four core values. It gave me a nice sense of direction emotionally, which was very helpful. Being a highly sensitive soul who feels literally everything, having what feels like a map to guide me through a sea of emotions is the perfect starting point on a journey of self-discovery. I felt a sense of direction. I definitely discovered things about myself that I didn't know before. It was eye opening. A few questions brought up some sadness for me and it helped to identify what I needed in that moment to comfort myself by matching the question with a specific core value. I learned areas where I am loving, trusting, being, and celebrating myself, and also uncovered where I was not. I was able to show myself more compassion there with this game, while gaining a new level of self awareness.
Angel is amazing for creating this beautiful self empowerment tool for young girls. I'm 44 years old and just now learning these tools, so I love the idea of starting this journey early on. I can't think of a better way to get to know yourself and work through your feelings than this! It was engaging, informative, and it really made me think about myself on a much deeper level. I feel more connected and closer to myself each time I play!"
