In this insightful session, I focus on the transformative power of connecting to your true essence which will lead you towards living life with more depth and meaning. Highlighting the importance of self-awareness, self-acceptance and ultimately self-love, you will be guided on a path of personal growth encouraging deep reflection and understanding of what may be in the way of fostering resilience in the face of life's challenges.
🇨🇦 Melissa Delaney: Yoga For Pelvic Health - Essential Knowledge & Simple Practices for Lasting Wellness
Many of us have been led to believe that we need to do a ton of kegels and keep our pelvic floor strong. Actually, did you know that this can actually cause issues like incontinence? This class is designed to bring awareness, dispel myths, and includes simple practices that can help alleviate symptoms, prevent future issues, and overall lead to better health and quality of life! You will gain important knowledge about your pelvic floor (PF), things that can be detrimental to PF health & function, how to properly engage (aka kegels) and how to know if you’re doing too much.
🇺🇸 Rachel Evans: Sweet Freedom! Conquering Menopause Fatigue by Ditching Sugar
Exposing the often overlooked relationship between sugar consumption and accelerated skin aging during menopause, this talk reveals how the glycation process—where sugar molecules bind to proteins like collagen and elastin—creates harmful advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that contribute to advanced skin aging, with these effects intensified during hormonal transitions as we age.

🇨🇦 Celeste Alles: The Season of The Self: Navigating Midlife with the Wisdom of the Body
The Season of the Self begins around midlife - a powerful and often "hot mess" initiation into becoming your most authentic self. In this talk, you learn how your body is your best source of information - the real truth teller and navigation guide for feeling through this change. These new feelings and changes aren’t problems to fix—but invitations to feel more deeply. The body is speaking to you in a language beyond logic - the purest form of intelligence begging for your attention. We’ll reframe overwhelm and your unravelling identity as a threshold, not a threat—and explore how to navigate this season through feeling, not fixing. You’ll walk away with somatic tools that support embodiment, nervous system regulation, and a self-centred sense of self.
🇺🇸 Hope Pedraza: Energetic Aging: Using Mineral Balancing and Human Design to Stay Vibrant, Strong and Radiant
Aging gracefully isn’t just about what we put on our skin or how much we exercise—it’s about aligning with our body’s unique energetic blueprint and supporting it with the right nutrients. In this session, we’ll explore how Human Design reveals your innate energetic needs and how mineral balancing can optimize your vitality, resilience, and longevity. Learn how to work with your body instead of against it, so you can maintain energy, confidence, and radiance well into your 40s, 50s, and beyond—without burnout or biohacking overload.
🇺🇸 Jessie Hillock: Tools for Honouring Your Brain Health: Simple Strategies To Strengthen, Protect & Support Your Brain For Life
As women, we spend so much time caring for the things we can see—our hair, nails, and skin. But what about the part of us we can’t see that powers everything we do? Our brain. It deserves just as much love and attention!
In this engaging and energizing session, I uncover normal aging brain changes, what is not considered normal age-related brain changes, and, more importantly, how small, simple tweaks can keep it sharp, strong, and thriving. No complicated science, no overwhelming changes—just practical, everyday strategies that fit seamlessly into your life. Walk away with real, actionable ways to boost focus, protect memory, and feel mentally energized.

🇨🇦 Beth Blackmore: Breaking Free From Self Sabotage: Awaken Your Inner Power
Do you ever feel like something is holding you back—despite your best efforts? It’s not just willpower. It’s conditioning. From childhood beliefs to societal programming, media influence, processed foods, and environmental toxins—your mind and body are constantly shaped by forces you may not even realize.

🇨🇦 Cindy Spratt: Ditch the Food Guilt: 3 Powerful Tools to Free You from Food Guilt & Shame for Good!

Let’s get real about food guilt: how depleting and crushing it is to your spirit and your ability to thrive, how the diet culture & food industry continues to impact our food behaviours, and how food shame & guilt is negatively impacting your health.
It’s time to take back the reins in your mind and your heart, apply tangible tools to help uplift your soul, free space in your life to do the things you love, and age gracefully into the years ahead with joy, self-respect, and really good food!

🇨🇦 Susan Stephen: Energy Healing Shifts in Consciousness~Awakening Awareness & Changing Patterns

Day 3
🇺🇸 Christy Dreiling: Enough Is Enough. Say "YES!" To You
In this heartfelt and eye-opening talk, Christy Dreiling shares the raw truth behind the moments that led her to finally say, “enough is enough.” It’s a journey through people-pleasing, perfectionism, and performance—toward radical self-worth, spiritual healing, and unshakable boundaries.

🇨🇦 Nelin Krull: Break The Myth: Pain Is Not A Normal Part Of Aging
Many people believe that aches and pains are just a natural part of aging, but this is a myth that can hold you back from living a full, youthful life. In this presentation, I explore why pain isn’t an inevitable part of growing older, what’s really behind chronic discomfort, and how Myofascial Release, as a part of holistic healing, can help you stay mobile, strong, and pain-free at any age.

🇨🇦 Jannine MacKinnon: Pleasure Reimagined: Embracing Sensuality & Confidence as You Age
Many women in midlife and beyond feel like their sensuality is a thing of the past—that “the ship has sailed” or that pleasure just isn’t important anymore. But what if that isn’t the full story? What if your libido isn’t just about sex, but about your life force energy—the very vitality that fuels your confidence, joy, and overall well-being?
In this perspective-shifting session, I guide you through a powerful reframe of what it means to age gracefully with sensuality, helping you reignite your inner spark, reconnect with your body, and embrace pleasure as a source of confidence and fulfillment. Whether you feel disconnected from your desire or simply want to bring more passion into your everyday life, this session will show you how embracing your sensuality is about so much more than intimacy—it’s about feeling alive.
🇨🇦 Karen Yaworsky: Burnout, Belly Fat and Hormones: What Every Woman Needs To Know
Here’s the truth most weight loss plans miss: Your gut microbiome has changed, impacting digestion, metabolism, and even your mood; Chronic stress and high cortisol levels trigger inflammation, making it impossible to lose weight; Blood sugar imbalances cause energy crashes, cravings, and that stubborn belly fat that won’t budge. Your liver is overloaded, preventing your body from detoxing hormones properly—leaving you bloated, puffy, and exhausted.
This isn’t just another “eat less, move more” talk. I’m breaking down exactly what’s happening inside your body, why it’s working against you, and—most importantly—what you can do about it. I don’t hold back in this masterclass. I’ll be sharing the exact strategies that have worked for me and *hundreds* of my clients to rebalance hormones, reignite metabolism, and finally feel good again.
🇺🇸 Cat Dillon: Stress Bites: Craving Control for Women Over 40: Master mindful eating And Reclaim Calm Through Life’s Transitions
This presentation is tailored for women over 40 and where I delve into how stress, hormonal changes, and life transitions typically experienced at this stage can significantly influence our eating habits. I discuss how restrictive diets can exacerbate disconnection from our true selves and explore the role of self-criticism in undermining self-esteem and fuelling stress eating behaviors.
The main focus is on mindful eating - a powerful tool especially beneficial for women navigating the complexities of midlife. It not only helps manage cravings but also enhances the enjoyment and presence during meals. This practice allows us to transform our relationship with food from one of stress and conflict to one of enjoyment and peace, addressing the unique challenges faced by women over 40. By adopting mindful eating, women over 40 can tackle the root causes of stress eating and develop a healthier, more joyful relationship with food, making it a supportive partner through the midlife transitions.

Send in your application and it will be considered for my future Summit. Sound fair?

WILL I HAVE A CHANCE TO PROMOTE MY BUSINESS?While direct promotion isn’t part of the overall Summit format, we encourage you to create an incredibly valuable session that inspires attendees to sign up for your freebie, which helps you grow your list and potential new like-minded clients. That's the whole point of the Summit. You’ll also have a dedicated opportunity to introduce yourself and make meaningful connections, share your expertise and tips with your audience. It’s all about providing value and building relationships that last well beyond the event!
-
CAN I HELP PROMOTE THE SUMMIT?A BIG YES! Your commitment to promoting the Summit is absolutely crucial to its success. By applying to be a speaker, you’re agreeing to actively promote the event to your audience via email, social media, podcasts, or any platform you prefer. You know your audience best, so it’s up to you how you want to get the word out. Personally, I’ve found emails tend to convert the best, but hey, do what works for you! The more you promote, the more opportunities your audience has to grab the VIP ticket, and when they do, you earn a 40% commission (50% if you’re a level 2 or 3 sponsor!). Win-win! PS. Planning and hosting a Summit takes a lot of work, so to keep things fair, I ask that all speakers commit to promoting the event. If you’re not able to do that this round, no worries—you can always apply next time! Deal?

FOR HOW LONG IS EACH SPEAKER SESSION?Sessions will be recorded in advance and submitted to me by April 4, 2025 Each speaker session usually lasts about 20-30 minutes and you are welcome to use a presentation if you wish. I encourage you to pack it with value and make it actionable —this is how you leave a lasting impact on the audience! Depending on your topic, you might share 1 or 2 key takeaways or actionable steps to help the attendees age gracefully soul, body and skin. I promise, it’s going to be fun and full of energy!

WHAT IF I AM NOT SELECTED AS A SPEAKER?While we can’t accept every application (trust me I wish I could), we would love to stay in touch as there may be other opportunities to collaborate and showcase your expertise in the future.

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE SUMMIT "BUNDLE"?Great question! This Summit will feature an exclusive Summit Bundle for attendees and both speakers and those who aren’t selected as speakers have the opportunity to participate. If you’re a speaker, you can submit a digital offer (valued at $9–$97) to be included in the Bundle. Even if you’re not selected to speak, you can still submit an offer to be part of the bundle. It’s a win-win for everyone: you’ll get exposure, grow your email list, and earn commissions from VIP pass sales—all while contributing something valuable to the Summit experience. This is a great way to get in front of a targeted audience, whether you’re speaking at the event or not!
-
HOW DOES THE SUMMIT "BUNDLE" WORK?When attendees register for the Summit, they will have the option to upgrade to the VIP pass to receive access to the Summit Bundle—a collection of exclusive digital products and offers, recordings and more. Both Summit speakers and those who aren’t selected to speak have the opportunity to contribute an offer (valued between $9–$297) to the Bundle. By including your offer, you’ll gain valuable exposure, attract new subscribers to your list, and have the chance to earn commissions from VIP pass sales. Whether you’re speaking at the summit or contributing to the Bundle, it’s a fantastic opportunity to grow your audience and increase sales.

-
IS THE A COST TO BE A SPEAKER?Nope! Being a speaker is totally free. We’re focused on creating an amazing experience for both the speakers and the audience, and that means offering you increased exposure to like-minded people (i.e. potential clients), networking opportunities, and a platform to share your expertise.
-
FOR HOW MANY SPEAKERS ARE YOU LOOKING?I’m aiming for a powerful group of 24 expert speakers. This allows me to bring a wealth of diverse perspectives and high-value content to the attendees, ensuring a summit packed with value while still being manageable and impactful for everyone involved.
