Celebrating Every Version of Ourselves: From Book Release to Global Events and Crowdfunding for a Heart-Centered Movement

Toronto, Canada – March 17, 2025 – In a world captivated by transformation narratives and “before and after” stories, “The Girl on the Left” emerges as a refreshing and profound exploration of self-acceptance. Spearheaded by brand coach and visionary Megan Dirks, this project is set to launch its inaugural book in April 2025, challenging readers to honor their past selves as the foundation of their personal growth.

About the Book

“The Girl on the Left” is more than just a book; it’s a heartfelt tribute to the versions of ourselves that society often urges us to forget. Through unfiltered storytelling and introspective reflections, the book challenges the conventional notion that growth necessitates leaving parts of ourselves behind. Instead, it posits that our past selves are integral, deserving of recognition and celebration.

“In a society obsessed with reinvention, ‘The Girl on the Left’ serves as a poignant reminder that true transformation doesn’t require erasure,” says Dirks. “It’s about embracing every facet of our journey, understanding that each version of ourselves contributes to the tapestry of who we are today.”

The Visionary Behind the Movement

Megan Dirks, the creative force behind this initiative, brings her expertise as a brand coach to the forefront. Collaborating with over 20 remarkable women, Dirks has curated a collection of raw, transformative stories that inspire and empower. Her personal journey of significant weight loss, health transformation, and career pivoting led her to a profound realization: the past self, often shunned, is the very foundation upon which current successes are built.

“After losing over 100 pounds and redefining my life, I found myself resenting the woman I once was,” Dirks reflects. “Through deep introspection, I recognized that she wasn’t the problem; she was the foundation. She showed up, persisted, and paved the way for everything I’ve achieved today.”

Beyond the Book: Expanding the Movement

The launch of “The Girl on the Left” is just the beginning. Recognizing the power of community and shared experiences, the project is expanding its horizons:

  • Podcast Series: To delve deeper into themes of self-acceptance, growth, and nostalgia, season two of the podcast series is set to launch Summer 2025. Each episode will feature intimate conversations with guests, offering listeners a deeper connection to the stories and insights shared in the book.
  • Community Engagement and Future Volumes: The overwhelming interest from readers and contributors has paved the way for future volumes. The project invites individuals worldwide to share their stories, fostering a global community centered on authenticity and self-love.
  • 2026 Live Event: Plans are underway for a transformative live event in 2026. This gathering aims to bring together the community, offering workshops, panel discussions, and immersive experiences that celebrate every version of ourselves.


Crowdfunding for a Heart-Centered Expansion

To support these ambitious initiatives, “The Girl on the Left” is launching a crowdfunding campaign in March 2025. As a non-profit, heart-centered project, the funds will be directed towards:

  • Production and Distribution: Ensuring the book reaches a global audience, including translations and accessible formats.

  • Community Events: Organizing workshops, book signings, and the 2026 live event to foster connection and growth.
