Stacey Jane is a Self-Leadership Coach, business mentor, and the founder of Stacey Jane Coaching and the Good Girl Gone Bad movement. She is known for helping capable women and business owners stop betraying themselves and learn how to lead their life, relationships, and decisions under pressure – with clarity, regulation, and integrity. Before stepping into coaching, Stacey spent a decade in corporate construction – working from retail renovations leading teams of 30+, through to estimator, project manager, and business development manager, managing multi-million dollar projects and high-pressure environments. On paper, she had built the right life. The career. The marriage. The house. The stability. Underneath it, she was disconnected, self-abandoning, and running on autopilot. So she made the decisions most people avoid. She ended her marriage. Sold her house. Walked away from corporate. Not to start over – but to finally start leading herself. That shift became the foundation of everything she builds now. Today, Stacey specialises in Self-Leadership Under Pressure – helping women and business owners recognise their patterns, regulate their emotions, communicate effectively, and follow through on the decisions they already know they need to make. Her approach is direct, structured, and grounded in real-world application – not surface-level mindset work. Through her private coaching, Good Girl Gone Bad Academy, short courses, radio show, podcast, workshops, and speaking, Stacey teaches people how to: • Stop looping the same patterns • Handle pressure without shutting down or reacting • Lead themselves in relationships, business, and life • Build self-trust through consistent action Her philosophy is simple: You don’t need more information. You need to become the person who follows through. Stacey’s work sits at the intersection of mindset, behaviour, and execution – helping women and business owners move from knowing what to do… to actually doing it.

Paul of Venus: Bridge Between Dimensions Paul of Venus is a spiritual teacher, channeler, and author of "The Sacred Rays of God," dedicated to anchoring higher dimensional frequencies and supporting humanity's collective awakening. As the founder of Mount Shasta Spiritual Tours, he has created a unique pathway for seekers to experience profound transformation at one of Earth's most powerful sacred sites. Based at the mystical vortex of Mount Shasta, California, Paul serves as a bridge between dimensions, channeling divine wisdom and activations from ascended masters including Saint Germain, Sanat Kumara, and Lady Venus. His work transcends traditional spiritual teaching—he creates sacred containers where participants can directly experience the presence of these enlightened beings and receive transmissions that catalyze deep inner shifts. Through his retreats, ceremonies, and activations, Paul guides lightworkers, starseeds, and spiritual seekers into expanded states of consciousness and embodied divine love. Each gathering is carefully crafted to work with the unique energies of Mount Shasta's landscape, from the crystalline waters of sacred springs to the powerful energy nodes that dot the mountain's terrain. His approach combines channeled teachings, energy transmissions, ceremonial work, and immersive experiences in nature's most potent locations. Paul's mission extends beyond individual transformation. He works to anchor the sacred rays—streams of divine consciousness that carry specific frequencies of healing, wisdom, and empowerment—into the planetary grid. His book, "The Sacred Rays of God," serves as a guide for understanding and working with these cosmic forces, offering readers tools to access their own divine essence and participate in Earth's ascension. With deep reverence for the mystical traditions of Mount Shasta and a clear channel to higher realms, Paul offers a bridge for those ready to step into their fullest spiritual potential. His work invites participants to remember their divine origins, activate dormant gifts, and embody the love and wisdom that flows from the heart of creation.

Deni is a Midlife Aliveness Coach whose work brings together psychology, coaching, movement and embodied practice to help women participate more fully in their own lives.   With a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, accreditation as a Life Coach and 500 hours of yoga teacher training, Deni’s professional life has long centred around people, learning and change. Before moving into coaching and embodied work, she spent 30 years teaching music. She has since taught yoga for six years and trained as a Sound Practitioner, developing an approach that recognises that meaningful change rarely happens through thinking alone.   Today, Deni works primarily with women in midlife who have built good, full lives and are often the capable, dependable people others rely on. Nothing is necessarily wrong. Yet underneath everything that works, there can be a persistent thought: “Surely there’s more than this?”   Her particular interest is the gap between wanting and doing. The women she works with often know far more about what they want than they give themselves credit for. The difficulty is what happens next. A desire surfaces, then the negotiation begins. Is it practical? Is now the right time? What will everyone else think? Does it really matter that much?   It happens in ordinary ways: the trip that remains an idea, the conversation repeatedly rehearsed, the thing she’d love to try but worries she won’t be good at, the Saturday she nearly keeps for herself, the change she keeps promising she’ll make one day. Over time, a woman can become remarkably good at talking herself out of the very things that would make her life feel more like her own. Through coaching, movement and nervous system awareness, Deni helps women recognise that moment and stay with what they know long enough to do something with it. The work isn’t about making dramatic changes for the sake of change. It is about allowing more of what matters to make its way into the life she is already living.   At the heart of Deni’s work is a simple belief: a life doesn’t have to be wrong before you’re allowed to want more from it. Midlife can be an opportunity to stop continually postponing what makes you feel alive and begin finding out what happens when more of what you want makes it into your actual life.

DO I QUALIFY? Deni Bale Midlife Aliveness Coach Deni is a Midlife Aliveness Coach whose work brings together psychology, coaching, movement and embodied practice to help women participate more fully in their own lives. With a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, accreditation as a Life Coach and 500 hours of yoga teacher training, Deni’s professional life has long centred around people, learning and change. Before moving into coaching and embodied work, she spent 30 years teaching music. She has since taught yoga for six years and trained as a Sound Practitioner, developing an approach that recognises that meaningful change rarely happens through thinking alone. Today, Deni works primarily with women in midlife who have built good, full lives and are often the capable, dependable people others rely on. Nothing is necessarily wrong. Yet underneath everything that works, there can be a persistent thought: “Surely there’s more than this?” Her particular interest is the gap between wanting and doing. The women she works with often know far more about what they want than they give themselves credit for. The difficulty is what happens next. A desire surfaces, then the negotiation begins. Is it practical? Is now the right time? What will everyone else think? Does it really matter that much? It happens in ordinary ways: the trip that remains an idea, the conversation repeatedly rehearsed, the thing she’d love to try but worries she won’t be good at, the Saturday she nearly keeps for herself, the change she keeps promising she’ll make one day. Over time, a woman can become remarkably good at talking herself out of the very things that would make her life feel more like her own. Through coaching, movement and nervous system awareness, Deni helps women recognise that moment and stay with what they know long enough to do something with it. The work isn’t about making dramatic changes for the sake of change. It is about allowing more of what matters to make its way into the life she is already living. At the heart of Deni’s work is a simple belief: a life doesn’t have to be wrong before you’re allowed to want more from it. Midlife can be an opportunity to stop continually postponing what makes you feel alive and begin finding out what happens when more of what you want makes it into your actual life.

#1 International Best-Selling Author, Workshop Facilitator For The Worlds #1 Coaching Academy, A Top 10 Female Life Coach – Globally, An International Speaker And Trainer, A Senior Level Executive Contributor For Brainz Magazine And FOUNDER Of ‘The Ready, Set, GLOW’ Programme – Helping First Time Coaches To Transform, So They Feel Ready To Transform Others. Inspired by first-hand experience of overcoming hardship and transformation, Brooke began her journey to become a Coach. Initially convinced that her personal experience, qualifications, and expertise would empower her to change not only her own life but also the lives of other women, she was surprised to find herself feeling severely out of her depths. The fear of judgment prevented her from showing up confidently and acquiring clients. Lacking confidence in her ability to make the desired impact, she procrastinated and failed to take action. She became paralyzed by the overwhelming steps involved in launching her business. This lack of results convinced her that she was unworthy and incapable of being the coach she truly wanted to be. She felt like an imposter, fearing that others would see her in the same way. After hiring a coach to help her do the work on herself, everything changed. She left her 9-5 job, made a MASSIVE impact on women's lives, and gained recognition as one of the world's top-10 female life coaches. This led to her being contracted as a Coaching Advisor for the world's largest online coaching community, assisting other first-time coaches in their journeys. This experience led her to realize that most first-time coaches face similar obstacles of fear, doubt, and concern for others' opinions. She understood the importance of confidence in coaching, the futility of a killer business strategy without implementation, and the limitations of constant planning and learning without taking action. This realization led her to create her Ready, Set, GLOW program, enabling other first-time coaches to transform themselves into versions capable of creating their vision.
