In this episode, we sit down with Lexy McDonald, the inspiring young founder of HerHelp, a mental health and wellness app she created at just 17 years old. Lexy opens up about her personal journey, from the painful experience of being bullied to the lack of support she felt during that time, and how it motivated her to build a safe space for others. She shares the challenges of learning to code, developing the app, and getting professional experts involved to ensure it truly makes a difference.

Lexy also reflects on the power of community, the importance of kindness, and the need for stronger support systems in schools. She even talks about her experience giving a TED Talk and the incredible personal growth she's experienced along the way. Tune in to hear how Lexy’s determination and passion have transformed her struggles into a platform that helps thousands of young people—and how she continues to innovate and evolve Her Help to be the best resource it can be. This episode is full of inspiration, resilience, and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we have the power to create positive change.
