is a journey

Confidence

After witnessing the incredible conversations taking place in the social space around body confidence, Founders of Shine Talent Group, Jess Hunichen and Emily Ward wanted to build a platform that would help amplify these voices and allow this community to share in an experience that would bring people together and help further the impact of this movement.

The BodCon now includes a weekly podcast and mini events throughout the year leading up to our annual conference. Through these initiatives we bring our network together and delve deeper into topics that surround the body confidence journey.

The BodCon launched in February 2021 as a virtual conference series centered around all things body confidence, body positivity and self love. Our aim is simple: We want people to feel worthy in their bodies.
