Stephanie Bordas is an award-winning boudoir photographer and owner of Brooklyn Boudoir, a modern photography studio for women.

After photographing hundreds of women, she discovered that the biggest barrier to great photos isn’t age, weight, or knowing how to pose—it’s the stories we tell ourselves about being seen. Through her photography and teaching, she empowers women to feel comfortable in front of the camera, celebrate the season of life they are in, and create photographs they’ll be proud to leave behind.

They call her The Crown Straightener.

Carrie Lupoli is a behavioral transformation expert, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker who has spent 30+ years building businesses, coaching 25,000+ women, and training 500+ practitioners across multiple countries in her proprietary methodology. As founder of Disruptive Nutrition and a board-certified nutritionist with decades of leadership experience, she has built one of the most recognizable coaching networks in the women’s wellness and performance space.

What makes Carrie’s work different is the insight she uncovered after decades in the field: nutrition was never the destination. It was the doorway. Diet culture had deliberately created confusion and dependency, but beneath that, women were making every decision from a place of pressure, not power. Pressure to perform, to be perfect. And most of all, pressure to prove their worth that never should have been in question.

Through her From Corset to Crown framework, Carrie helps high-achieving women recognize the invisible pressures running their lives and uncover the freedom to lead and live without shrinking who they are. Women leave with what many say they haven’t felt in years: genuine hope, uncommon clarity, and a next step they can finally see.
She has been featured on the TODAY Show, ABC, NBC, Fox, and News Nation, and is a sought-after keynote speaker for women’s leadership conferences, corporate events, and entrepreneurial summits worldwide.

Dr. Keira Barr is a double board-certified dermatologist who spent more than twenty years doing skincare the conventional way before she noticed what the textbooks had left out. The patients in front of her weren’t only dealing with a skin problem. They were carrying everything life had handed them, and their skin was keeping the record.
That realization led her to found the Center for Mind Skin Medicine and to develop her Somatic Skincare™ method, built on one simple idea: your skin and your nervous system are in constant conversation, and when your nervous system feels safe, your skin often follows. She helps women understand what their skin has been trying to tell them, and how to finally feel at home in their own body. She knows this work from the inside, having been bullied for her own skin as a child and later catching her own melanoma early.

She’s the bestselling author of The Skin Whisperer, a published researcher, and a former professor at UC Davis, and her work has been featured in Oprah Magazine, Vogue, Glamour, and many more. She’s an integrative somatic trauma practitioner as well as a physician, which is why she has a gift for making complex neuroscience feel like something you already knew in your body.

Industry award winning image professional Imogen Lamport, AICI CIP, understands that midlife is when you finally stop dressing for other people and start dressing for yourself. As an Australian image consultant, style educator, and founder of Inside Out Style, she’s spent over two decades helping women crack the code on personal style in a way that actually makes sense.

Her journey began with training in 2004, and becoming an international certified Image Professional with the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI CIP) in 2009. It was her frustration with outdated, one-size-fits-all approaches to style that sparked real innovation. She created the Absolute Colour System, a revolutionary color analysis method based on Munsell’s science of colour properties. Rather than boxing you into “summer” or “winter,” it offers 18 nuanced palettes designed to work with every complexion and colouring. For midlife women dealing with changing skin tones, greying hair, and shifting undertones, this flexibility is genuinely liberating.
Imogen is also co-creator of the 16 Style Types framework, which merges Jungian psychology with personal style. Translation: it moves beyond Pinterest boards and actually helps you understand why certain styles feel authentically you. No more buying clothes that look good on influencers but feel wrong on your body.
What sets Imogen apart is her refusal to complicate things. Through Inside Out Style, her “7 Steps to Style” program, and the Academy of Professional Image (her training institution for consultants worldwide), she’s made professional styling accessible. She champions body positivity and dresses women of all ages and sizes with genuine enthusiasm, not tokenism.

For midlife women tired of fashion noise and ready for clarity, Imogen offers something rare: expertise that feels like a conversation with someone who genuinely gets it. She proves that the best time to nail your style isn’t your twenties. It’s now.

Alice Kim is the Founder and CEO of PerfectDD (pronounced “perfected”), a women’s clothing brand born from her own struggle to find clothes that fit her fuller bust and smaller frame. After more than 20 years in fashion, with roles at Victoria’s Secret, Diane von Furstenberg, Prada, and Shopbop (Amazon), Alice realized the problem wasn’t her body, it was the clothes. She founded PerfectDD in 2020 to give women more freedom in what they wear, designing clothes with more room at the bust, not everywhere else.

Today, Alice holds three U.S. patents for her fit innovations, including hidden-button technology that prevents gaping. Her mission is to help women stop dressing around the parts of their bodies they feel self-conscious about, fall in love with their bodies, and get back to the fun of getting dressed.

As an NYC stylist since the ’90s, Elysha Lenkin has worked with everyone from celebrities like Tina Fey and Serena Williams to major brands including Oprah Magazine and InStyle. But her most transformative work happens behind the scenes—in the homes (and Zoom closets) of midlife women ready to evolve how they show up in the world.

When she’s not working with women on their personal style, you can find Elysha browsing vintage in downtown Manhattan (her favorite form of self-care) or people-watching around the city, always studying the art of authentic self-expression.
