Need inspiration? Join Melai, Bo Sanchez and more at Jewels Conference

It’s been five years since the world turned upside down due to the COVID-19 pandemic—yet many of us are still feeling the effects of it today, including us women. It doesn’t help that our day-to-day living conditions have been extra challenging the past years, even after we eased out of the pandemic.

We struggle with mental health concerns; we question our self-worth; we worry about our security and finances; we are bombarded with the world’s messages about beauty and success. We are constantly pulled in different directions, and often wonder where we’ll find the strength to go on.

I must admit: as a busy wife and mom of 7 who wears many “hats,” there are times when I feel overwhelmed and drained. Juggling family life, work, ministry, and different advocacies can be quite challenging. It is the inspiration which I get from my faith and the people around me that pushes me forward.

Speaking of getting inspired, there is an international women’s conference coming up on August 2 that will surely help all of us women discover (or rediscover) the source of strength and encouragement that we need: the Jewels Conference. 

Jewels Conference 2025: She Will Not Be Moved 

This year’s conference theme “She Will Not Be Moved” aims to remind us women that God “is the unshakable foundation” under our feet. He will give us peace when the world presses in.

Counted among the plenary speakers at the 2025 Jewels Conference are celebrity mom Melai Cantiveros-Francisco and inspirational speaker Bo Sanchez. Melai had previously shared online how her “staying power” in the entertainment industry is “due to the power of prayer.”

At the Jewels Conference, Melai is set to share about “Unshakable Beauty,” while Bo will be giving a special message to all the women participants.

Joining them are other inspiring speakers who are well-known in women’s empowerment circles and faith communities, including registered psychologist and author Dr. Michele Alignay, registered social worker and Light of Jesus Pastoral Care co-founder Ditas Español and many others.

What else is in store for participants?

This year’s conference is extra special as there will be breakout classes for the first time, covering topics such as body image, motherhood, emotional, mental, and physical wellness, fertility and other women’s health concerns. 

For those who cannot join the conference on-site at Space at One Ayala, online access is also available. Also, members of the Jewels International community will be gathering at different venues in their respective areas to participate in the conference online together. 

Fill your heart with love and share the love with women in need

When you join the Jewels Conference, you will not only be filling your heart with love—you’ll also be sharing love with women in need. This is because the conference supports Grace to Be Born, which serves pregnant women in crisis (and their children whom they put up for adoption), and Jeremiah Foundation, a home for girls who are survivors of sexual abuse. It’s a unique opportunity to be blessed while blessing others at the same time. 

So if you’re a woman like me who needs a break from the busyness of life, or you just need some inspiration to keep moving forward, come join us at the Jewels Conference. (I’ll actually be giving the breakout class on motherhood with fellow mom Love Cosio, who is also an author and marriage coach.)
