Sierra Bender

Sierra Bender is a globally recognized voice in women’s empowerment, an engaging and motivating speaker, and a best-selling author. She is also a successful entrepreneur and the dedicated President and CEO of a pioneering empowerment company. Through her social and political community work, she has helped bring women’s issues into the global conversation.

A long-standing advocate for women and girls, Sierra has spent the past 30 years highlighting the need for change and encouraging greater awareness around the world. She brings a rare kind of learning to the people she works with: hands-on experience in self-love, which she describes as “a powerful force grounded by action and responsibility, and a commitment to one’s true, authentic self.”

Sierra also played a major role in bringing the word “Goddess” back into modern culture, helping spark the women’s empowerment movement in leading institutions, universities, and organizations. Created in 1995, Bootcamp for Goddesses® quickly gained popularity and influence, becoming a benchmark for fitness and women’s empowerment events and later best-selling retreats at internationally known venues such as Kripalu Center and the Omega Institute in the United States.
