Kortney Olson

Kortney Olson knows what it’s like to drag yourself up from the bottom. After surviving a rape, an eating disorder, depression and drug and alcohol addiction all before she was 21, Kortney knows how important it is to turn trauma, pain and despair into power, strength and confidence.

As part of Kortneyʼs mission to empower women across the world, Kortney founded Kamp

Konfidence, a prevention-based wellness experience camp for teenage girls aged

14-17. Kamp Konfidence taught girls to look beyond the messages hammered into

them by society and develop self-love in a non- judgmental, fun and friendly

environment.

Seeing a greater need out in the world, Kortney took the principles behind Kamp

Konfidence and turned it into an international clothing line. GRRRL clothing was

the first clothing line to not use traditional sizing, rather using the measurements

of female athletes to guide women to the right fit. GRRRL refuses to use

photoshop and/or airbrushing and uses women from all walks of life to model

their product – women of different races, abilities and experiences. Under

Kortneyʼs inspirational leadership, GRRRL continues to grow and spread the message

of radical self-love and gender equality in the face of society’s bull, one

GRRRL 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 take

their power back, Kortney gives a no-holds barred tour into her darkest days so

every 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 lived

It.

Besides being an Australian Women’s arm wrestling champion, Queensland state Brazilian Jiu jitsu champion, 3 time international bodybuilding competitor, author, TV

personality, certified personal trainer and Olympic lifting and CrossFit coach,

Kortney is a self-appointed “teen whisperer”, often taking time from her busy

schedule to speak personally to kids struggling through puberty, bullying and

the challenge of growing up in today’s world. Kortney isn’t just a figurehead,

she gets down and dirty where it’s needed most.

If you think you’ve seen Kortney before, it’s probably because you’ve seen her smashing watermelons with her thighs on the Internet or TV or being described as the

"woman with the world's deadliest thighs" by Stan Lee, creator of Marvel

Comics; a title she holds with pride.
