Taryn Brumfitt's Biography

Taryn Brumfitt is the fiercely passionate thought leader behind the Body Image Movement. Best-selling author and director of the inspiring social-change documentary Embrace, Taryn’s global crusade to end the body dissatisfaction epidemic has seen her recognised by the United Nations Women, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls and the Geena Davis Institute.

Taryn’s determination to shift the way the world thinks about themselves and their bodies has the support of high-profile personalities including Olivia Newton-John, Rosie O’Donnell, and Ashton Kutcher who famously praised her activism as being “good for the world.”

Named alongside Beyonce and Emma Watson in Germany’s Brigitte magazine’s ‘Woman of The Year’, Taryn’s positively infectious voice and powerful message has reached over 200 million people via the likes of the L.A Times, Washington Post, The Doctors, Good Morning America, The Project, Australian Story and The Today Show.

Embrace is a social impact documentary that explores the serious issue of body loathing, inspiring us to change the way we feel about ourselves and think about our bodies. Released in 2016, the film is relevant, relatable, highly engaging – but above all life changing. Nominated for the Documentary Australia Foundation Award for Best Documentary, Embrace has been seen by millions and has created a ripple of positive change across the globe. The documentary was supported by 8909 Kickstarter pledgers who responded to the fundraising trailer released in 2014. The trailer has now had over 45 million views.

Author of three bestselling books, her first title ‘Embrace’ was a US smash hit and the animated song from her latest title, a children’s book ‘Embrace Your Body’ bumped Baby Shark off iTunes number 1 spot!

Voted as General Electric’s highest rated speaker, Taryn is an internationally recognised sought-after keynote speaker. From Google HQ in Silicon Valley to Sky News in Scotland, Bras N Things in Singapore, Ted X talks and local school visits – Taryn’s keynotes are compelling, provoking and extremely motivational.

Taryn’s work has been recognised all over the world, by United Nations Women, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, the Geena David Institute and Ashton Kutcher who famously praised her activism as “good for the world”.  However far from slowing down, Taryn is approaching her most important goal yet – body image positivity for kids.  Her documentary ‘Embrace Kids’, currently in production, will launch in 2022.
