The BodCon Launches a Groundbreaking Confidence Course To Reverse the Fact that 91% of Women are Unhappy with their Bodies

NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The BodCon, the award-winning, #1 Body Confidence Community that educates, inspires, and empowers women to cultivate body confidence and improve self-esteem, debuts The BodCon Confidence Series. The BodCon assembled 6 celebrated and accredited confidence authorities to develop this course, such as body image crusader, Embrace on Netflix documentary director, producer and star, and White House State Dinner 2023 invitee, Taryn Brumfitt, naturopathic physician & The Spa Dr. founder, Dr. Trevor Cates, and psychologist & Attachment Theory expert, Dr. Morgan Anderson.

Addressing topics such as Negative Self-Talk, Mastering Interpersonal Relationships, and Navigating Life's Body Changes, this multifaceted virtual video-based series is designed to bolster body confidence in all areas of life with the aim to reverse the fact that 91% of women are unhappy with their bodies, for a transformative journey towards self-acceptance, self-love, and one's true potential.

In a society where appearances seem to matter more than ever, body confidence struggles have become pervasive. Nearly $16.7 billion was spent on cosmetic procedures in the U.S. in 2020, and prescription weight loss drugs will become a nearly $2 billion industry in 2023. 20 million women suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some time in their lives, and body shaming exists among 1.35 billion users on Instagram. Societal beauty standards have long been perpetuated by advertising and social media, leading people to compare themselves and find fault with their bodies, resulting in feelings of inadequacy, especially with a multitude of self-proclaimed experts on social media offering conflicting advice.

"Navigating the path toward body acceptance and confidence can be overwhelming, especially due to rampant misinformation on social media and pop culture. Gaining confidence and self-love is certainly not done overnight as many are led to believe," said Gabrielle Richards, Brand Director of The BodCon and Certified Body Confidence Coach. "Through the launch of The BodCon Confidence Series, we aim to disrupt the self-help industry by offering a research-backed, fresh, and dynamic approach to confidence building that challenges the status quo and inspires meaningful change."

Starting off with a quiz so participants can learn how confident they really are, the course also features engaging video lessons, interactive activities to apply concepts learned, resources & materials to deepen understanding of subject matter, powerful assessments to track performance, and supportive, inclusive discussion forums to share insights. The course boasts over 30 hours of education to improve body image and self-esteem, so participants gain the tools and strategies for unshakable self-assurance.
