Here is the @acurrentaffair9 story about perimenopausal depression and why I wrote my book I’m Your Peri Godmother.
A few tears here on the Gold Coast while watching this but I know sharing my story will help other women and people who love them to take their symptoms seriously.
If you are struggling with perimenopausal depression please seek help. Talk to a doctor, psychologist or call Lifeline on 13 11 14
Big thank you to Craig @debbiegauntfoundation and @prof_jayashri_kulkarni for their strength.
Big hugs to @davinasmith9 whose kindness shone through the filming. Davina I’m so lucky you cared for my story like you care for me.
Biggest love to my husband Darren who loved me through my worst.

Today Extra time! Discussing parliament now sitting, working with children checks and Gen Z saying 35 is over the hill. Always fun with @davidcampbell73 @sylviajeffreys and @seanszeps Wearing @mottofashions#gifted https://t.co/KtRzK5kLHY @ShellyHorton1
Founder-led content hits different. When you are the face behind the brand, your story builds trust, connection and community. Just ask @kelliebekool , founder of @kosi_au – a 360 degree hot wheat pack helping period pain and endo warriors. She nailed her media training with me and now has the skills (and confidence) to show up on camera, tell her story and grow her brand. This is exactly why I created Speak With Impact. Ready to step in front of the camera for your business? Come train with me https://t.co/KtRzK5kLHY
What do you get when you mix media training, an academic powerhouse and a full day in the studio? You get @la_hep LeighAnne Hepburn, Head of Design at the University of Sydney, learning to slay the autocue and speak with impact. We trained her up, then filmed social media reels, website videos and keynote promos. We even taught her how to use autocue! She walked out with 38 brilliant videos and enough outfit changes to make Beyoncé raise an eyebrow. Want six months of content in a single day? Come and train with us. We’ll polish your performance, boost your confidence and help you show up like a pro. Contact me for a 15min discovery call https://t.co/KtRzK5kLHY
Just wrapped a powerhouse media training session with the incredible @evelyn.ellis At ShellShocked Media, every session is personalised. For Evelyn, we tackled autocue skills, storytelling for interviews, how to collaborate with producers to tailor scripts, and red carpet interview techniques. Because let’s be real – being good on camera doesn’t just happen. It takes training. I love seeing influencers and TV presenters invest in their growth. Serena Williams didn’t win Wimbledon without lessons – and you don’t become a media pro without training either. Want to level up like Evelyn?

Elevate your office style with @mottofashions versatile tops! 1. Start with the “Lust Cami”: This sleek base provides an elegant, streamlined look that’s perfect for layering. It’s also reversible! 2. Switch to the “Blogger Shirt” for a casual, laid-back vibe that still maintains a professional edge. 3. Pair these tops with tailored shorts especially if you are in Queensland like me: The shorts add a chic twist, keeping your look fresh and cool. 4. Add a sharp blazer to give your outfit structure and sophistication. 5. Accessorise with bold Motto jewellery and belts. I’m a size 16 in the shorts and size 18 in the tops.

ACA, Fury Over HRT Patches Shortages 29th January 2025
The amazing @davinasmith9 asked me to share my experiences with perimenopause and HRT - and my fury over HRT patches shortages - on @acurrentaffair9 Women’s Health feels like an afterthought. It’s time for the government to accept the Senate Inquiry recommendations. Not every woman needs HRT but those who do should not have their choices limited. And more HRT on the PBS please. After all guess what is on the PBS - Viagra. FFS! 🤦♀️ https://t.co/KtRzK5kLHY @ShellyHorton1

Pause & Effect
No. You’re not crazy.
No. You’re not making it up.
No. You don’t need to suffer in silence.
No. It’s not just a part of ageing that women have to put up with.
If your peri symptoms are problematic see your GP. My peri has been a horrible hormonal roller coaster I didn’t buy a ticket to ride. I wish I’d known more about it. I wish I’d advocated for treatment earlier. And if your GP isn’t up to date on hormone heath - find a new GP!
You deserve to feel better.
Ovary and out!

Confidence Tips
Time for a quick confidence hack. Feeling nervous? Reframe it! The same adrenaline that causes nerves can be your secret weapon. Instead of saying, “I’m nervous,” try, “I’m excited!” Your body doesn’t know the difference, but your mind will. Embracing excitement helps you focus and perform at your best. Confidence is just a mindset shift away!

So much fun on @thetodayshow for our final week of the year. I love debating John Mangos even if it’s over feeding pigeons! We were like seagulls fighting over a chip! @mr_timdavies and @belinda.russell could have sat back and nibbled on popcorn! Can’t wait to do it all again next year!

“You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can’t get them across, your ideas won’t get anywhere.”
I love this… Great ideas deserve to be heard, not hidden. Confidence and the ability to speak with impact are the keys to making your ideas matter. Think about it—how often do you see great opportunities slip away because someone couldn’t clearly share their vision? Don’t let that be you. Whether it’s pitching to a client, presenting in a meeting, or speaking on stage, your voice matters. It’s not just what you say, but how you say it that leaves a lasting impression. Invest in yourself, build your confidence, and deliver your ideas with impact. Let’s make sure your brilliance gets the recognition it deserves.
