For years, Australians welcomed Shelly Horton into their homes as a trusted TV presenter and journalist. Today, she's become one of the country's strongest advocates for women navigating midlife.
In this honest and inspiring conversation, Shelly shares how her own experience with perimenopause, confidence, and learning to advocate for herself completely changed the direction of her life and career.
Together, Mel and Shelly talk about the pressure women face to keep everything together, why so many symptoms are dismissed, how confidence changes through different seasons of life, and why speaking up—for yourself and for other women—has never been more important.
This is a conversation about reinvention, resilience and discovering that sometimes the challenges we never asked for become the purpose we were always meant to find.

The reality of perimenopause and why so many women feel unheard
