International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated every year on 8th March. In case you haven’t heard of it, it’s a global movement honouring the achievements of women while advocating for gender equality.
This year’s theme, “Accelerate Action,” calls for urgent progress across the world to dismantle social barriers and empower women in all aspects of life. So naturally, we at MBS Festivals turn to spirituality to empower the women of the world.
Our biannual Mind Body Spirit Festival brings together incredible women presenters who are leading the way in self-development, empowerment, and healing.
Let's celebrate five phenomenal women who will be sharing their wisdom at this year’s festival in May - and who embody the spirit of IWD every day. Of course, every presenter is empowering and trailblazing in their own way, so it was almost impossible to pick only five.
Francesca Amber
Single mum of three, Francesca Amber has manifested a life of abundance and success despite facing tough times. Known for her fantastic expertise in manifestation and bestselling podcast Law of Attraction Changed My Life, she will be taking to our main stage to share how to “Manifest Like a Mother”. Her journey is a testament to resilience, showing that no mountain is too high when paired with intention and self-belief. This talk is not to be missed!
Nichole McGill-Higgins
Nichole McGill-Higgins is a powerhouse speaker, coach, and advocate for women’s empowerment. A survivor of sexual abuse herself, she has transformed her experiences into a mission to help other women rise above their past and step into their power. Her ‘Ignite Your Feminine Fire’ session at the festival will bring out our sensual being inside, empower us to speak up and uplift us to seek healing and confidence.
Catch her: Monday 26th May on the Midlife Wisdom stage at 2:30pm.
Maggie Colette
Maggie Colette exudes girlboss energy, building a massive personal brand with Think Like a Boss—an Instagram empire dedicated to helping women step into their power. With over 100K followers, she is an inspiration for female entrepreneurs. We would love to sit down with Maggie to learn about her journey, her challenges, and the mindset shifts that helped her scale her business to global recognition. You can do just this with her session, ‘Think Like a Boss and Unleash Your Potential’! This is a must-attend for ambitious women looking to break through limitations.

Tamu Thomas
Tamu Thomas is a vocal advocate against toxic productivity, helping women redefine success on their own terms. Her session, ‘Pleasure Activates Power: Redefining Productivity,’ encourages women to move beyond burnout culture and embrace joy as a form of self-care and success. Tamu’s work aligns perfectly with the spirit of International Women’s Day, as she actively works to dismantle societal expectations that keep women stuck in cycles of overwork and exhaustion. We’re looking forward to having Tamu back with us this year!
Michele Paradise
Michele Paradise has dedicated her career to helping women break free from the chains of people-pleasing and reclaim their mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. In her talk, ‘People Pleasing Harms Your Mind, Body, and Spirit,’ she will address how women, often conditioned to prioritize others, can set boundaries and prioritize their own growth. Her message is essential for any woman looking to thrive beyond trauma and societal conditioning, and we’re excited to welcome her to MBS Festival for the first time.
Catch her: Sunday 25th May on the Midlife Wisdom stage at 1.30pm.
