The Girl on the Left is more than a book—it’s a movement of self-love, acceptance, and celebrating who we are at every stage of life.
The GOTL project is a community-driven brand focused on empowering women to own their stories, share their struggles, and celebrate their personal growth while fostering authentic connections. Our goal is to grow an engaged audience of reflective, growth-oriented individuals who value storytelling, self-acceptance, and the power of shared experiences to inspire and support others.
