Chantal Shears is the founder of The Clothes Horse CIC and has recently launched her new business Grounded Parenting.

The Clothes Horse is a Not For Profit organisation who's mission is to keep clothes in circulation within communities.  The aim is that by 2025 they will have stopped 25 tonnes of clothes from going to landfill.

So far 14 tonnes of clothing has been saved - this has been their contribution to the environment since launching in 2016.

In the year before their launch, it was estimated that the fashion industry consumed nearly 80 billion cubic metres of fresh water, emitted over a million tonnes of CO2 and produced 92 million tonnes of waste globally.

Chantal is determined to keep making an impact!

She also launched Grounded Parenting in July 2024 because she is passionate about helping busy mums prioritise self care to be present & connect.

Chantal knows from first hand experience how hard it can be to get to grips with being a parent! With Grounded Parenting she can help you connect more deeply with your children and avoid mum guilt. 

She wants to remind busy mums to prioritise our self care and well being, whilst also remembering that we need to put our needs first too. You can't parent from an empty cup! 

She is also keen to help parents connect more deeply with their children. As well as showing them how to help their children to thrive emotionally and to learn how to self regulate as they grow.

Helen Walker is a 'tell it how it is' Visibility Strategist who shows women how easy attracting dream clients and making sales really is, by getting confident with video and standing out from the crowd. 

You're likely to find her on social media taking the mick out of herself, telling herself off or giving herself a pep talk, often in fancy dress, as she takes on her impostor syndrome fuelled, self-doubting alter ego and provides some tough love and words of wisdom. 

Taking Instagram reels by storm, Helen brings comedy and her straight talking approach to the forefront to tackle the topic of selling and being visible - something she finds a huge proportion of women in business have huge fears around. 

Helen is on a mission to empower more women to lead incredible lives, through creating highly successful businesses and flip the switch on the mindset of female entrepreneurs, particularly those who are telling themselves they are not worthy of their true dreams, they are not good enough and nobody wants to buy from them. 

Be sure to follow Helen on Instagram @thisishelenwallker or LinkedIn for daily tips to make more sales and great videos that leave clients clambering to work with you.

Marie Thom is a big knickers wearer, frantic chin plucker, gin lover and muffin-top fighter who worships at the altar of the incontinence liner. She draws her eyebrows in which are balding at an alarming rate, along with her nether regions. She doesn’t draw those in because that would be just plain weird.

She writes the Facebook page Midlife Dramas in Pyjamas and has written articles for Good Housekeeping, Best, Good Housekeeping online and Menopause Life Magazine. She has been interviewed on BBC Radio Newcastle and appeared as a guest on the podcast Message in the Middle. Marie regularly speaks to women’s groups and in September she will be appearing on the Live Stage with her funny poems, at Pause Live in London. 

Her followers love her down-to-earth approach to life, along with her searing honesty about both the menopause and herself.

Yvonne Vincent is the bestselling author of The Big Blue Jobbie and the Losers Club series, the midlife brainfart behind the Growing Old Disgracefully blog on Facebook and the proud owner of an inch long eyebrow hair that mysteriously appears overnight. She wanted her superpower to be the ability to cram six Jaffa cakes into her mouth at once, but got the bionic eyebrow hair instead. 

Two years and five months after publishing her first book, Yvonne walked away from her nice, safe job to write full time. It was scary and she had to push past a lot of self-doubt. She thought about all the wonderful people who had said “you can” to her - listening to them had worked before, so why not listen again? She wants to pay that forward to other midlife and older women - even though age and life may strip our confidence or sometimes make us feel like the swamp beast from hell, our superpower really is each other and We Can.
