Nurse and Money Coach, Our Green Life

Prisca Benson is a nurse, money coach, and founder of Our Green Life, where she helps ambitious professional women in the early to mid stages of their careers take control of their money and build toward financial freedom.

Sarah Hutt

Founder, Wild Rose Path

Sarah works with women who've outgrown an old version of their life and are in the disorientating work of becoming someone new, often at the exact moment the person who witnessed that becoming is no longer there to see it. She works with landscape and plant wisdom as a diagnostic lens rather than decoration for where someone is actually standing in their own becoming, drawing on her training in herbalism and land-based practice.

Her approach draws on an unbroken, multi-generational family lineage in England's Lake District, and on losing her father, the catalyst that led her to start Wild Rose Path.

As a certified Quantum Biofeedback practitioner, Food Matters Nutrition Coach, and Holistic Health Coach, she combines energetic support, practical wellness tools, intuition, and a nervous-system-focused approach to help women better understand what may be contributing to how they feel.

Her work is especially focused on helping women feel more connected to their bodies during seasons of change, including perimenopause, while encouraging greater self-awareness, informed choice, and medical sovereignty. Nadia's approach is simple, grounded, and centred around helping women build confidence in listening to their own body and making decisions that feel aligned for them.

Lisa Barwise

Wellness Alchemist, The Warrior Goddess Saga

Lisa Barwise is a Wellness Alchemist, Fitness Feminist, author, and founder of Warrior Goddess Saga. Her work explores what happens when women stop treating their biology, psychology, and spirituality as separate, particularly during the profound transition of midlife and menopause.

Creator of the Wellness Alchemy Triquetra™, Lisa helps women understand the physical, emotional, and inherited patterns they carry, what she calls Armour Weight™, and begin the process of Unarmouring.

Blending women's health, strength training, psychology, spirituality, and embodied feminism, her work asks deeper questions than simply "How do I fix my menopause symptoms?" Instead: Who am I now? What is no longer working? What am I ready to put down? And who do I want to become? Her mission is to help women become stronger, healthier, and more themselves as they age.

Janelle March

Coach & Operations Consultant, Prismatic Growth

Janelle March is a coach and operations consultant who helps women build lives that fit the brains and bodies they have, not the ones they're expected to have.

She works with women whose coping systems have stopped working: the capable one, the organized one, the one who holds it all together, now watching that machinery fail and concluding she's gotten worse at life. Janelle's work names what's happening instead, then rebuilds their work and habits around the capacity available on a hard day rather than a good one.

Diagnosed AuDHD at 28, she founded Prismatic Growth after burnout and a layoff took apart every system she'd built to stay busy. She lives outside Chicago, has been with her wife since she was 22, and is openly still working on taking her own advice.

Kori C. Mock

Founder, Life After Unmasking

Kori C. Mock is the founder of Life After Unmasking, a space for late-diagnosed ADHD and AuDHD women navigating midlife, identity, motherhood, and the messy process of figuring out who they are beneath years of masking and expectations.

Through honest conversations, practical tools, and her Reality-to-Agency framework, Kori helps neurodivergent women rebuild self-trust, understand their capacity, challenge people-pleasing patterns, and create lives that actually work with their brains.

Her approach isn't about fixing yourself or becoming a better version of who everyone expects you to be. It's about recognizing what you've been carrying, reconnecting with yourself, and giving yourself permission to do things differently. Because unmasking isn't about becoming someone new. It's about finally making room for who you've always been.

Mandie Brice

Founder, A Lil Better

Mandie Brice is the founder of the A Lil Better community, a personal development book club that helps busy women actually use what they read in self-help books.

Each book comes with journal and discussion questions, yoga flows, and yoga nidra (similar to a guided meditation), so the ideas move off the shelf and into real life in small doses, and in a fun way. Mandie calls it turning shelf help into self help.

Nadia Quraishi

Holistic Nutritionist, Nourished by Nadia

Nadia Quraishi is a Holistic Nutritionist who helps women over 40 get their energy back, steady their mood, and feel strong in their bodies through plant-based eating and simple daily habits. Over the years she has worked with hundreds of women, run one-day wellness events in New York, created her own holistic product line, and led online programs and in-person workshops on hormones and nutrition.

Her approach is personal. After a cancer diagnosis at 39, food, sleep, stress, and movement became the foundation of her own healing, and they're the heart of everything she teaches. Nadia believes in adding more plants, not cutting things out, and in progress over perfection. She lives in New Jersey.

Wendy Venema

Founder, Cozy Cadence

Wendy Venema is the founder of Cozy Cadence, where she helps overwhelmed, overstimulated moms stop carrying everyone's mental load on their own. She doesn't believe the mental load can be fixed with bubble baths or a better planner. Instead, she teaches moms to recognize it, manage it, and hand off what was never theirs to carry alone, without the guilt or the fights.

As a mom in a blended family of seven, Wendy knows the exhaustion, the resentment, and the short fuse firsthand, and everything she creates is written for the woman she was ten years ago. Through her courses, workbooks, and her daily email to the Bathroom Crew, she helps moms understand themselves, feel like themselves again, and find a calmer rhythm at home.

Jenn Fast

MBA

Midlife Reinvention Strategist, Reinvention with Jenn Fast

Jenn Fast is a reinvention strategist and the founder of Reinvention with Jenn Fast. She works with women in midlife through the transitions that arrive all at once: perimenopause, career shifts, divorce, empty nests. Most midlife advice stops at insight, which is why women leave feeling seen and still stuck. Jenn pairs the identity work with the systems that carry it, drawn from a 30-year corporate career.

She also knows this terrain from the inside. Raised in a family and a culture whose message was to be seen and not heard and take up less space, she spent decades being useful and quiet before she understood what it was costing her. She now teaches women to take up more room. She also hosts The Comeback Show podcast and is a published author and audiobook narrator.

Liz Reichard

Radiance Coach

Liz Reichard is a former family lawyer turned Radiance Coach, a tri-certified Pleasure Coach with the School of Womanly Arts, and a certified Qoya free-dance teacher. She's here to help women remember who the fuck they are, ditch the rules and expectations that have kept them small, and create lives they're genuinely turned on by.

Combining a lawyer's sharp eye for what's really going on beneath the surface with deep empathy, intuition, and embodiment, Liz helps women reclaim their pleasure, trust themselves, embrace body neutrality, and discover what they really want. Through her private coaching, group programs, and Qoya, she creates spaces where women can show up exactly as they are, let go of shame and conditioning, and start taking up space in their own damn lives.

Her philosophy? You're not broken, darling. You've just been taught to forget your own power. And Liz is here to help you remember.

Leanna M. Hunt

ACMHC, CPC

Therapist, Body-Based Practitioner, and Performance Coach, Leanna Hunt Coaching

Leanna M. Hunt is an Associate Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Certified Performance Coach, body-based practitioner, author, and creator of the NeuroHeir framework. She helps women understand the patterns they carry, work with their nervous systems, and create meaningful change in their lives, families, and businesses.

Blending neuroscience, somatic practices, and practical tools, Leanna helps women move beyond simply knowing what to do and build the capacity to respond differently in real life. She is the host of The NeuroHeir℠ Podcast and author of the forthcoming book, Becoming a NeuroHeir: The Process of Releasing What Was Never Yours to Carry.

Leanna is also a wife, a mom of four, and a passionate believer that our patterns make sense, and that we can choose what we carry forward.

Tanicia Baynes

Nervous System Ritualist and Women's Coach, The Rooted Experience

Tanicia Baynes is a Nervous System Ritualist and EFT Coach, and the founder of The Rooted Experience. For over a decade she has helped women work with their anger and anxiety instead of against it, through EFT tapping, breathwork, and somatic practice.

She is 47 and moving through perimenopause herself, learning in real time what it takes to stay present, honest, and grounded when her own bandwidth shrinks. The tools she teaches are not borrowed theory. They are what she uses in her own home, with her husband and their twin boys, on the hard days and the good ones.

Tanicia believes anger and anxiety are messengers, not malfunctions, and that even the loudest seasons of a woman's life can be met with practice instead of panic.

Melissa Pearson

Mindset and Belief Coach, Melissa Pearson Coaching and Consulting

Melissa Pearson is a mindset and belief coach and the founder of Melissa Pearson Coaching and Consulting. After years of putting everyone else first, she rebuilt her health and her life, releasing 150 pounds and leaving an 18-year government career to start her own coaching and consulting business and do the work that fulfills her.

She has lived what she teaches: belief is the driver of all things. Melissa helps people find the specific belief keeping them stuck and gives them practical tools to create results that last. She also co-hosts the Midlife Momentum Workshop and Circle, a space where women get support to manage life after 40.

At 51, she feels better than she has in years, and she wants every woman to know that's possible from any starting point.

Michaela Bosquet Lambert

Sovereign Love Coach, Savvy Love

Michaela Bosquet Lambert is a love coach for capable, self-aware women over 40 who are tired of losing themselves in relationships. Through her Savvy Love™ method, she helps women break the cycle of overriding their own needs to manage a partner's moods or keep the peace, and teaches them how to bring their hard-won self-awareness straight into intimacy.

Her work centers on a single shift: moving away from managing the relationship and toward a simpler, more honest question. Is this mutual?

Michaela helps women experience deep love without sacrificing their peace, time, or boundaries. She writes and teaches through the Savvy Love Chronicles on Substack, guiding women to a place where they no longer have to choose between being loved and being themselves.

After navigating her own breast cancer diagnosis, double mastectomy, and surgical menopause, her passion for helping women feel informed, supported, and confident in their changing bodies became even more personal. Today she combines professional education, lived experience, and a healthy dose of humor to break the silence around menopause, intimacy, vaginal health, and sexual wellbeing.

Her mission is simple: help women understand their bodies, ask questions without embarrassment, and recognize that confidence, connection, and pleasure don't come with an expiration date.

Whether a woman needs support with nutrition, movement, sleep, or stress, Amy helps her create a plan for her body, her goals, and her season of life.

Amy doesn't hand you a plan and wave goodbye. She stays with you, providing the guidance, accountability, and encouragement that bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.
