Kamp Konfidence taught girls to look beyond the messages hammered intothem by society and develop self-love in a non- judgmental, fun and friendlyenvironment.Seeing a greater need out in the world, Kortney took the principles behind KampKonfidence and turned it into an international clothing line. GRRRL clothing wasthe first clothing line to not use traditional sizing, rather using the measurementsof female athletes to guide women to the right fit. GRRRL refuses to usephotoshop and/or airbrushing and uses women from all walks of life to modeltheir product – women of different races, abilities and experiences. UnderKortneyʼs inspirational leadership, GRRRL continues to grow and spread the messageof radical self-love and gender equality in the face of society’s bull, oneGRRRL at a time.Kortney is a powerhouse speaker that will have you hooked from the very first moment.Guided by her intense passion to see women deal with their issues and taketheir power back, Kortney gives a no-holds barred tour into her darkest days soevery woman, no matter what her story, can see there is hope on the other side.Kortney is no textbook psychologist; she knows her stuff because she’s livedIt.Besides being an Australian Women’s arm wrestling champion, Queensland state Brazilian Jiu jitsu champion, 3 time international bodybuilding competitor, author, TVpersonality, certified personal trainer and Olympic lifting and CrossFit coach,Kortney is a self-appointed “teen whisperer”, often taking time from her busyschedule to speak personally to kids struggling through puberty, bullying andthe challenge of growing up in today’s world.
