You can do hard things.
Lexy McDonald is a Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, digital creator and founder of HerHelp, an online platform making girlhood and early adulthood feel less lonely.
Lexy faced her own struggle with bullying growing up and didn’t know where to find help. Realising she wasn't alone, she developed HerHelp after teaching herself to code in her final year of high school.
With a mission to normalise real conversations around mental wellness, self-worth, and navigating life, Lexy has built HerHelp into a community of millions of women who see her as a big sister and trusted voice.
In 2023, she was recognised with the Diana Award for her social impact. Her content blends honesty, humour and vulnerability to empower young women to feel seen, supported, and confident in themselves, and create meaningful change.
As HerHelp continues to grow, Lexy’s focus remains on building community, breaking stigmas, and inspiring women to know they are never alone.
