Shine Away’s programming taps into the culture-defining brands from across the Hello Sunshine portfolio, including The Home Edit, Reese’s Book Club (RBC), The Hello Sunshine Collective, and The Bright Side, as well as the company’s many beloved film, television, and music projects. The event will also offer unprecedented access to entertainment and talent from Hello Sunshine, including The Home Edit’s Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, The Bright Side’s Simone Boyce and Danielle Robay, and author of the RBC book pick The Last Thing He Told Me, Laura Dave. 

 

Presenting sponsor AT&T will bring inspirational women together for panel discussions around how the power of connection helps fuel their journey to success. In addition to AT&T, Shine Away is brought to life with the help of mission-aligned supporting sponsors and women-owned businesses: 

  • Peoplehood, a first-of-its-kind practice designed to improve interpersonal relationships, will also collaborate on an AT&T experience to help facilitate connection, conversation, and engagement between attendees. 
  • Chase Ink will curate a shoppable small business marketplace of locally sourced, women-owned businesses. 
  • L’Oréal Paris has signed on as the beauty sponsor and will bring its iconic “Because You’re Worth It” tagline to life during key touchpoints. The brand will sponsor a live episode of the Hello Sunshine podcast, The Bright Side, featuring members of the newest class of the Hello Sunshine Collective and a dynamic panel discussion centered around worth and empowerment. 
  • Brought to life with the help of Sheraton Hotels and Santa Monica’s female-owned Zibby’s Book Shop, the Reese’s Book Club Book Shop will offer books from all one hundred Reese’s Book Club authors and other Shine Away panelists and allow fans to meet and greet with select authors. 
  • In partnership with Eli Lilly and Company, an inspiring conversation among celebrity breast cancer survivors will take the main stage with The Home Edit’s Clea Shearer. Shearer is also a Lilly brand partner.   
  • Throughout the weekend, Joan’s On Third, a Los Angeles culinary staple and celebrity favorite, will provide food and beverage catering.  
  • The entire two-day event will be hosted at the state-of-the-art, female-founded, nya studios in West Hollywood. 

Shine Away was created in response to the insight that women, facing unprecedented levels of burnout, are unable to find time to focus on themselves. While fostering connection at every point of the experience, the event’s talent will provide attendees with actionable tools for personal and professional growth.  


Tickets for Shine Away, connected by AT&T, are available now at hello-sunshine.com/shineaway. Select content from Shine Away will be available for livestream on Hello Sunshine’s Instagram.
