About Us

We want to inspire girls and young women to be the best versions of themselves

Almost 1 in 5 students already feel negative about their self-esteem when they enter high school
8 in 10 girls between the age of 8 – 16 are so concerned with the way they look that they opt out of important activities
7 in 10 girls believe that they are not good enough or don’t measure up in some way, including their looks, performance in school and relationships with friends and family members
8 in 10 girls report feeling more confident or positive when they invest time in caring for themselves.

Did you know…….

This is why Glow Up Project Exists!

We inspire and motivate tweens and teens to love and accept themselves just as they are and feel the freedom to be the best version of themselves. It’s at the heart of all that we do.

Our mission is to impact as many lives as possible through helping girls and young women to GLOW in every area of their life.

We achieve this by providing a 6 week fun-filled and interactive personal development program. We then offer all graduates the opportunity for ongoing connection through our weekly Sisterhood Sessions. We also offer a variety of individual school holiday workshops.

Our Story

Hi, I’m Jodie (she/her)

I'm all about living life authentically and having fun! You can usually find me sipping on coffee, belting out tunes in the car, or soaking up the beauty of a sunrise.

But beyond that, I'm also the proud founder of Glow Up Project - a space that empowers tweens and teens through group mentoring programs and workshops. I believe that young people are incredible, but sometimes they need a little help seeing just how amazing they truly are.

That's where Glow Up Project comes in - we’re on a mission to empower girls and young women to see their worth, value and beauty from the inside out because when we have a strong sense of self-worth, we're better equipped to make positive choices for our lives.

With years of experience as a teacher's aide, modelling and dance teacher, and youth mentor course facilitator, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of young people from all walks of life.

As a mum of two teenagers myself, I understand the challenges that come with adolescence and am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive space for young people to grow and thrive.

If you're looking for a mentor who is genuinely passionate about helping young people reach their full potential, then you’re in the right place!
