Danielle Fuligni McKay is a refreshing, pragmatic voice in the empowerment movement, calling not only for more confident girls, but for the needed female role-models to lead them.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking ways to live a more purpose-filled life alongside their girl. Many of the highlights provide tools that are simple, effective and will lead you and your girl on a journal of self-discovery. I highly recommend it!
- Louise Arsenault, Professional Soccer Player and Coach
There are three characteristics that significantly reduce risk-taking behavior in adolescent females: positive self-esteem, strong self-confidence and healthy communication with care-takers. Danielle Fuligni McKay provides these tools in an easily approachable, down-to-earth way to facilitate the development of emotional and behavioral wellness in girls. In my opinion, Girl on Purpose should be required reading!
