Courageous, Curvy & Confident

What's it all about?

“Mirror, Mirror -You Don’t Get to Lie Anymore”

Body Image idealisation...WTF!! Let’s be real, these toxic and unrealistic expectations stowed upon having the

"PERFECT" body can feel like an ongoing pressure that is f**ckin' breaking us.

Now add Hormones to the mix and you the result is best described as a living nightmare...I know, I lived it!

From hormone deficiencies that make you feel like you were left out of the “womanly body” memo… to the rollercoaster of perimenopause and menopause that hijack your energy, your moods, your skin, your sex drive, your weight, your brightness, and even your sense of identity.

One minute you’re laughing, the next you’re sobbing in the shower, staring at your reflection like, “Who is this woman staring back?”

But I am here to tell you, you’re not broken. You’re not crazy. You’re not alone.

Whether you’re strutting through a paddock in your gumboots, running boardrooms, recovering after breakups, surviving the hormone circus or the absolute f**kery that is online dating, this space is yours.

I lived the hormone hell, the body-image battles and the heartbreak, and came out the other side with radical self-acceptance, unfiltered confidence, and the tools to love myself exactly as I am.

"Badass Confidence...

Isn’t about being perfect. It’s about walking into a room, owning your space, and not needing anyone else’s approval."

Confidence isn’t just an accessory; it’s the whole damn outfit - and I’m your stylist.

Who Is She?

Hey there, I'm Mel

Like you I have struggled with my own body confidence, my identity, my self-worth and all the sh#t that comes with BEING A WOMAN!

We’ve all had our WTF moments, right?
But for me, it wasn’t just heartbreak or online dating disasters.
It was waking up in a body that didn’t feel like mine anymore.

Hormone deficiencies messed with everything, my shape, my confidence, my sense of womanhood.
I didn’t feel sexy. I didn’t feel seen. I felt... lost.

Then came IVF heartbreaks, a broken marriage, and the creeping feeling of being invisible.
I kept wondering, “Where did I go?”

But I didn’t give up.
I stopped waiting to be “fixed” and started learning to love what was already mine, this body, this face, this fire.
I treated her with respect, dressed her with care, and finally started seeing her as worthy.

Once I learned to myself love myself, my life sure took me down a very surprising path.

Say what???

Now, I'm a country gal...WTF???
I'm on a farm, bottle feeding calves and lambs and embracing my curves and owning my sass, and my passion is to help other women just like me.

So, for every woman who’s ever felt betrayed by her body, know this:
It’s not about perfection, it’s about power.
It’s about coming home to yourself - curves, scars, sass and all.

did you know?

What I am committed to changing...

Mental health impact:

Up to 60% of women report anxiety or depression linked to perimenopause symptoms (Australasian Menopause Society, 2023).

Body image struggles:

In Australia, 1 in 2 women experience body dissatisfaction, with hormonal changes being a major trigger (Butterfly Foundation, 2021).

Perimenopause & awareness:

80% of Australian women feel unprepared for menopause and perimenopause, and many confuse symptoms with stress, depression, or ageing (Jean Hailes Women’s Health Survey, 2022).

Workplace impact:

Nearly half of working women say menopausal symptoms affect their performance and confidence at work (Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees, 2022).

Relationship impact:

Low libido, mood swings, and body image issues can strain partnerships, with some studies showing marital breakdown risk increases during midlife hormonal changes.

Why this matters:

Without support, women are at higher risk of burnout, leaving their jobs, developing chronic stress, and struggling with long-term self-worth.

“With 1 in 2 Australian women reporting body dissatisfaction and up to 60% experiencing anxiety or depression during perimenopause, ignoring these struggles isn’t just careless, it’s dangerous - this is why I do what I do"

What's the tea?

"This isn't your average

self-love gig!"

Let's smash the toxic ideals, rebuild our self-worth, and fall in love with our reflection again...with a whole lot of sass

Around here we:

Embrace big curves and even bigger energy.
Reignite the spark that hormones tried to snuff out.

Recognise unfiltered, unapologetic confidence
Share fierce makeup tips, juicy self-care, and rural real talk.
Entice leadership and sensual power (yep, you've got it already, I just push the ON Button!)

This is transformation that sticks, not some bubble-bath bandaid bullsh#t. We’re talking full-body confidence, bold moves, empowered style, and inner peace with a wild streak.

Head to toe, let your WHOLE-BODY talk...

Elevate Your Presence – Strategically and Authentically

You don’t need to change who you are, you just need to start showing up for yourself. If you’re ready to ditch the self-doubt and step into the confident, radiant woman you were always meant to be, let’s chat. Book a call, and let’s make it happen.

Fierce makeup + styling tips that make you fall in love with your reflection again.
Juicy self-care and rural real talk (because sometimes the country life can be very isolating).

Frequently Asked Questions

“No more secrets: Everything you’re afraid (or ashamed) to ask”

Question 1: What exactly is perimenopause, and how do I know if I am in it?

Perimenopause can start as early as your late 30s, with symptoms like irregular cycles, brain fog, weight changes, mood swings, skin changes, and low energy. Many women don’t realise they are in it, because there isn’t enough information out there. The truth is, perimenopause impacts your mental wellness, body confidence, sex drive, and even your sense of identity.

Question 2: Why do I feel like a stranger in my own body?

Hormonal fluctuations affect not just fertility, but mood, weight, skin, libido, and self-image. Feeling “alien” in your own skin is a common (and overlooked) experience.

Question 3: Is it normal to gain weight around my belly during perimenopause?

Yes. Hormonal changes affect metabolism, fat distribution, and muscle tone. It’s not your fault — but it can wreak havoc on confidence.

Question 4: Why do I feel invisible or like I’ve lost my spark?

Many women report a loss of identity, presence, and sexuality during this time. My program works on visibility and self-worth through NLP, styling, and confidence coaching.

Question 5: How does perimenopause affect my skin, hair, and overall appearance?

Hormones impact collagen, hydration, and elasticity, leading to dryness, dullness, and breakouts. That’s why I combine skincare education with self-care rituals.

Question 6: Can I ever feel sexy, stylish, and confident again?

100% yes. The work we do together focuses on body image, style, and self-talk so you can rediscover your sass and femininity without needing to “fix” your body.

Question 7: Why does no one talk about this?

Because menopause has long been dismissed as “just hot flushes.” But the truth is, it affects every corner of a woman’s life, mental health, relationships, work, and self-worth.

Question 8: Why does my doctor brush off my symptoms and make me feel like I’m imagining things?

Because women’s hormonal health has been under-researched and under-valued for decades. You’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone. I help you understand what’s really happening, give you the tools to manage it, and support you where the medical system often fails.

Question 9: Will I ever feel like “me” again, confident, sexy, and full of sass?

Yes. Losing your identity, confidence, or sense of womanhood during perimenopause or after IVF is common, but it’s not permanent. Through NLP, styling, skincare, and confidence coaching, I guide you back to yourself so you don’t just recognise the woman in the mirror, you celebrate her. I guide you to getting your Sass Back!

Question 10: Do I have to change my body to feel good about myself?

No. This isn’t about shrinking, dieting, or “fixing” your body. It’s about learning to shift your self-talk, embrace your style, care for your skin, and rebuild your confidence so you feel powerful exactly as you are.

Power Has Curves

Own Your Curves, Own Your Power

So, Why Me???

I chose to become a confidence mentor because I’ve lived the transformation that comes from truly embracing yourself, curves, quirks, and all. For years, I struggled with my weight, wrestled with my appearance, and felt invisible both to myself and others. The dating world after my divorce was a rollercoaster of rejection and disillusionment, leaving me feeling like I’d never measure up. But through those challenges, I discovered something powerful: confidence isn’t about fitting into a mould, it’s about celebrating the unique beauty that is already within you. Learning to dress in ways that highlighted my shape, experimenting with makeup that made me feel radiant, and prioritising my own self-worth completely changed my life.

My Mission

Now, I’m on a mission to help women like you step into your own power, embrace your curves, and turn heads - not for anyone else, but because you radiate the confidence of a woman who knows her worth.This isn’t just a course or a career for me - it’s a declaration that I’ve climbed the mountain of self-worth and finally stand tall, confident, and in love with the woman I see in the mirror. Now, it’s my joy and privilege to help you discover the same for yourself. Whether it’s through learning to dress in ways that make you feel stunning, developing a skincare routine that nurtures you, or cultivating a mindset that lifts you up instead of holding you back, I’m here to show you how to embrace your beauty, inside and out.

Your journey to confidence starts here.
