  One Toolbox Leadership-Kelly Mitchell

  Main Lobby

  ​

  To kick off The Fall Women's Show, Kelly Mitchell is speaking about something many women know all too well: what happens when we get so busy looking after everyone else that we stop protecting our own capacity.

  In Who's Looking After You? Boundaries, Wellness & Leading Yourself First, Kelly explores the connection between boundaries and wellness — and why setting a boundary is only the beginning. We need to communicate it clearly, and stand by it consistently, even when that feels uncomfortable.

  Boundaries aren't about shutting people out or caring less. They help us get clear on what's ours to carry, what isn't, and where we need to make room for ourselves in lives that can get very full of everyone else.

  Using the four pillars of One Toolbox Leadership™ — Boundaries that Protect, Communication that Connects, Consistency that Builds Stability, and Resilience that Carries You — Kelly offers a practical, relatable way to think differently about looking after yourself while still showing up for the people and things that matter most.

  If you're busy looking after everyone else, who's looking after you?

  Join Kelly for an honest conversation about boundaries, wellness, and what changes when we start leading ourselves with the same intention we so often give everyone else.

  Kelly M. Mitchell — ICF ACC, CRC, CYWC

  Hotter By The Minute- Shannon & Mary

  Main Lobby

  ​

  Real conversations. Real laughter. Real change.

  Menopause doesn’t come with a manual, yet millions of women navigate it while managing careers, relationships, families, and somehow remembering why they walked into the kitchen. (Or at least pretending they do.)

  Hotter by the Minute delivers engaging, entertaining, and thought-provoking conversations that shine a light on menopause, midlife, and the incredible women living through it. Our talks blend research,  lived experience, and plenty of laughter because sometimes the best way to tackle uncomfortable conversations is with honesty and humour.

  Whether we’re speaking to corporate teams, leadership groups, healthcare professionals, community organizations, or women’s events, our goal is simple: to educate, inspire, and leave every audience feeling seen, supported, and just a little bit hotter by the minute.

  Come for the laughs. Leave with a new perspective.

  In her talk, "The Truth About Starting Over," Sue shares the honest, unfiltered reality of life after divorce — the identity loss, the unexpected grief, the messy middle nobody warns you about, and what rebuilding something real actually looks like. No toxic positivity. No pretending it's easy. Just the truth, and what's waiting for you on the other side of it.

  Serena Haines: Sexologist, Gottman-Certified Relationship Expert

  Main Lobby

  ​

  For over a decade, Serena Haines has taken one of the most avoided topics in the room and transformed it into one people genuinely want to talk about. With clinical expertise, comedic timing, and absolutely zero shame, Serena doesn’t lecture an audience—she gives it permission to have honest, empowering conversations. TURNED ON isn't just about sex—it's about coming alive. For generations, women have been taught to be desirable, but rarely taught to experience desire. We've been praised for self-sacrifice, taught to disconnect from our bodies, and left believing that pleasure is optional—or even selfish. But what if pleasure isn't a luxury at all?

  What if it's one of the most overlooked pillars of women's physical health, emotional wellbeing, confidence, and personal agency?

  In this thought-provoking and empowering conversation, internationally renowned sexologist Serena Haines explores how reclaiming pleasure can transform far more than your intimate relationships. Discover the surprising connection between pleasure and stress reduction, resilience, confidence, communication, and living with greater authenticity. Through science, storytelling, and practical insights, you'll leave with a new understanding of what it truly means to be "turned on"—not just in the bedroom, but in your life. Because when a woman is turned on to her life, she makes different choices. She sets healthier boundaries. She asks for more. She trusts herself. And she gives herself permission to experience joy without apology.
