Jo Ibbott is a leading expert on perimenopause and menopause, particularly its impact on women and the workplace. She is passionate about ensuring everyone understands perimenopause and menopause, so that women are not undermined and workplaces do not lose valuable talent. Jo's driving force is to demystify and debunk menopause myths, challenging the taboos around this important life stage and bringing it into the open.   As an Executive Coach, Jo's specialisation in this area grew from observing recurring themes among her mid-life clients: loss of confidence, lack of joy, overwhelm, anxiety, and low mood. These were high-achieving women, at the peak of their careers, who were suddenly questioning their capabilities. Reflecting on her own mid-life experience, Jo recognised the significant impact of perimenopause's psychological symptoms. She had, for the first time, considered antidepressants and experienced a marked decline in her motivation for both life and work. Connecting these dots, Jo realised that perimenopause was robbing these women of their sense of self and jeopardising their careers. She resolved to take action.   In 2020, Jo trained as an Executive Menopause Coach. She began working with organisations and individual women, providing education, coaching and practical solutions to navigate the unique challenges of perimenopause. Simultaneously, she founded the What the Fog? Facebook Community, a safe space for women to ask questions, find support and access reliable, evidence-based information.   Jo is known for her dedication to normalising the conversation, empowering women and enabling organisations to foster cultural change and engage in courageous conversations about perimenopause and menopause. Through her training, coaching, and advocacy, she equips women with the understanding that it's not them, it's perimenopause and there are things they can do that will help. She also guides organisations in building inclusive, compassionate, and equitable cultures.   Contact Jo today to learn how she can help you or your organisation navigate menopause with knowledge and confidence.

Wendy Lyon is "The Financial Lyon," fierce, fearless, and financially savvy. She’s a nationally recognized wealth strategist and media personality with a mission: to help women eliminate debt, build unshakable wealth, and never outlive their money. After losing her husband in a tragic motorcycle accident at just 24 years old with two toddlers and only $20,000 in life insurance, Wendy learned the hard way that life doesn’t give you do-overs. But from that unimaginable loss, she rose with a relentless commitment to protect others from the financial devastation she once faced.   Wendy saw the burden so many people were silently carrying, mortgages, credit cards, car payments, and student loans, and she knew something had to change. After all, when you're just trying to make it through the month, you're not thinking about your financial future 10, 20, or 30 years down the road. As a lifelong "Professional Problem Solver," Wendy discovered the perfect system to help her clients get out of debt in record time, without changing their budget or lifestyle.   One of her clients had 25 years left on their mortgage and multiple credit cards. Using Wendy's guidance and her award-winning system, they became completely debt-free in just 4.6 years. But the real win? With that same money they would've sent to creditors, they're now on track to build $1.1 million in wealth in the remaining 20.4 years, with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. Even more mind-blowing, Wendy's "out-of-the-box thinking" grew $10,000 into over a billion in lifetime wealth for two little girls who had also lost their dad, without any risk of loss. Trust and believe, their Grandma was happy about that!   Wendy is the creator and host of Wealth & Wisdom, a TV, podcast, and radio show where she and her amazing guests, all experts and authorities in their fields, dive deep into identifying and transforming the locks, limiting beliefs, and self-sabotage that keep us "blocked," so her audience can Heal, Grow, and Thrive and be truly wealthy in every area of life, mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially.   When she’s not mentoring ambitious women, speaking on international stages, or featured on major media platforms, Wendy is pouring her heart into her nonprofit efforts to fight human trafficking and uplift women and girls in crisis. With a heart to raise awareness, impact, and fundraising, Wendy and her partner produced a 6-part series called "The Ripple Effects" that highlights the unsung heroes who walk among us each day and the nonprofits that make an impact to make our world a better place. More than a series, it's a call to action: "Don't just watch the ripple, be the reason for it."   Wendy Lyon is living proof that you can go from heartbroken and broke to wildly successful and impactful. She’s not just teaching financial freedom, she’s modeling it, building it, and helping others roar with confidence every step of the way.
