No BS.

Just Authenticity.

Women in their 40s don't need another guru, another pep talk, or another woman performing her way through midlife and calling it growth. They need someone who understands the emotional terrain from the inside.That's what I offer. And I've been doing it since 2013.

The credentials, plainly stated.

Over 13 years, I've worked with more than 380 women worldwide through the most confusing, most identity-erasing seasons of their lives. I'm one of the world's most experienced licensed Creatrix® Transformologists. There are very few of us. That's not a marketing line. It's a fact about a qualification that I have mastered through real-world experience.

I wrote Own Your BS, an internationally bestselling book on female head talk. I've trained practitioners, spoken on stages, and been featured in the Sydney Morning Herald, ABC Radio, The Morning Blend, CW Network, News8, Inside Small Business Magazine, and Sunday Life. I also built a six-figure business and led a team of more than 120 women.

I know what high-output success costs. And I know what it quietly costs women on the inside while they're delivering it.

About Bree

What I actually do

I don't work at the level of coping, reframing, or managing. Those things require you to keep working. Forever.

I work at the root. The unconscious emotional patterns that drive your reactions long before your logic gets a say. We dissolve what's been holding you back without dragging you through the past. Your story stays yours. What shifts is how it lives in your body and your mind. And how it plays out in your nervous system.

Women come out the other side not "fixed," not "better," but fundamentally different. Quieter inside. Clearer. Recognisably themselves again.

This is woman-first work. Built for the female brain. Grounded in emotional intelligence, identity, and the mechanics of lasting internal change.

In 2011 I was in my late 20's when I first achieved what would be considered influential and inspiring success. I was being recognised for international record growth and sales within the company I worked for, and as I was being presented with my awards, I remember looking around me and thinking

"how the hell did I get here? I don't belong here....?

surely all these people can see I've got no idea what I'm doing, and that soon enough it'll all come crashing down?"

I looked the part, I was frequently told how amazing I was, how inspiring I was, and yet my internal bully was on loud speaker YELLING at me because only I knew the dirty little secret I'd been hiding behind my big BS smile....

What was driving my Imposter Syndrome was the double-life I was living.

In the professional setting, I was in my element. Although not always confident in my ability, I was in the least, aware that I was good at what I did. I was good with people, and I was a natural motivator and coach.

However, my private life was a total shit show. At the time, I had 2 very young children, and I was severely struggling. My marriage was on the rocks and my expectations of motherhood were not what I imagined. The juggle between my professional ambitious and the reality of raising two challenging children were at loggerheads with one another, and I was slowly losing myself.

So when I was being recognised as an Influential, Positive example for other women, I couldn't help but feel like a

total fake

because I KNEW that I would never wish another woman or mum to experience the tug-of-war that I felt every single day.

This recognition of my professional success TORE at me even more, and really fuelled the inner conflict I was experiencing. Because in THAT WORLD, I was praised for my work and efforts.

But at home, I was out-of-control, I had no idea what I was doing and I was ALONE (after all, WHO could I go to that would really understand my struggle?

In 2012, I was at the top of my 'professional' game - I had a fancy title, I dressed in fancy clothes, drove a Free Company Car and travelled Internationally and Nationally for many company functions - I was recognised as a successful woman of influence to the hundreds of women that I trained and mentored.

I guess you could say, from the outside, it appeared that I had 'it all'.

But there was a conflict inside of me that said otherwise.

And much of it was bred from the pressure I was feeling of not being able to deliver long term results to the women that I worked - I didn't just want to momentarily support and encourage the women I worked with, I WANTED TO genuinely HELP THEM TO CHANGE THEIR LIVES.

Let's rewind a few years to the events that led me to where I am now....

I wanted this for THEM, because ultimately I wanted it for ME! I had spent so much of my professional career working on myself in various ways, that it felt as though I should ALREADY BE as confident as I appeared. But it was all bullshit.

My smile and confident persona hid so many insecurities - because at my core, I believed that I was a fake and a fraud - I was constantly comparing myself to my peers - in my eyes I was NEVER going to be as good as them - as polished, as influential, successful or worthy. I was pushing up against the thickest glass ceiling - one of my own making and I was desperately searching for a way to smash through that.

I know that through the work I facilitated, thousands of lives have been empowered - marriages saved, relationships moved on, connections with children deeper, working relationships more beneficial

HOWEVER, the Legacy and Impact that I so deeply desire to leave can be multiplied when I help TRAIN other women to set hearts Free because I know for a fact that there are thousands. of women the world over that share my dream of making a difference to many many people.

What I'm about now....

Maz Schirmer and the Institute of Women International has a global mission of setting 10 Million Hearts Free... a mission that I sincerely believe that, when achieved will set in motion a rise in strong, empowered, internally confident and powerful female leaders that in turn will change the way that things are done on this planet.

Women NEED a different approach to healing, to business and to living. Being a Trainer of Creatrix® Transformology® means that I'm able to do exactly that - I'm able to help MORE women help More Women - and there's nothing more professionally satisfying then knowing that!

I know I can help you to create the life experience you so desperately desire. Book in a call and together we'll work out what your next step is!

I can't wait to speak to you

I stumbled across Creatrix® Transformology® after I experienced Creatrix® for some personal issues that, at the time, were tearing my family apart (I was an angry, out of control mum). After the dramatic transformation I experienced (you can see it here), I couldn't NOT take my experience and build something that gave other women the same life transformation that I had. I couldn't continue on the path of building a successful, yet unsatisfying business, when I knew there was something SO MUCH MORE REWARDING available to me.

THIS was the reason I closed that business down and pursued a new career as a Creatrix® Transformologist® - because I knew that there was something more important than a superficially successful business, something FAR more important than recognition and accolades - I wanted Deep, Heart Felt Fulfilment that came as a result of making a REAL, Significant change in another woman's life.

So, for 6 years, that's exactly what. I did.

I published an International Best Selling Book and Online Program "Own Your BS" educating women about the Importance of Awareness, their Female Factor and the necessity for Ownership in order to grow.

And, I personally worked with more than 330 women facilitating Creatrix® - helping every day women to be free from deep depression, severe anxiety, worthiness issues, anger and frustration issues, debilitating guilt and so much more. I was so confident in the outcome Creatrix could provide, that I offered a 100% Outcome Guarantee - and to date every single client I worked with achieved their desired outcome.

When I work with you, we....

1. Develop the Awareness you have around your truth - the way that you currently see the world and where it needs strengthening (or maybe re-writing!)

2. Focus on Action and solution. It's no good analysing the past. The WHY's. The regrets. In fact, as women, the more we focus on your story, the more emotionally bound you'll become to the story (the more you talk about it, the worse you feel, so why talk when we can just RELEASE?!)

3. Align Momentum - we identify who you are, what you want for your future, what lights you up and drives you from within. Then we create a plan that support, honours and encourages an aligned life.

WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MY PAST?

Come with me on a trip down memory lane, to 2012, where I was a Professional Imposter.

I was a leader, mentor and trainer of 120+ women in a Multi-National Sales Company and I was well-known as a positive, happy and confident woman. It was rare anyone saw me with anything other than a smile on my face, a positive 'can-do' attitude on display for everyone to see.

It appeared that I had it all - I'd built my business to consistently exceed 6 figures from home while raising my 'pigeon pair' with my incredibly supportive hubby

That was the first year I was recognised as a Top 15 Leader after I achieved my first Company Car, multiple Diamonds, and an All-Expenses paid International Trip. I was also recognised as a 'Go Give' member of the organisation - the highest peer-nominated accolade awarded - for leading by example, for going above and beyond to help and serve others....

By all standards and considerations, I had every reason to feel proud and sure of myself. And there was NO VALID reason for me to feel anything other than grateful, positive and content.

In 2017 I published my first book as an easily accessible, first step resource for women who are done with feeling held back and stuck by doubts, insecurities and fears.

Now an Amazon International Best Seller, Own your BS: The No-Nonsense Guide to addressing your Female Head Talk gives you the practical advice to help you to GET A GRIP on sabotaging and destructive self talk.

"This book is extremely eye-opening into how the female brain works. I literally used Bree's advice today during a panic attack and it helped straight way. Highly I recommend this book to any female who wants to take back their power and be the best version of themselves" A.C

I can't wait to speak to you

But what should have been a prime time of my life was destroyed by my poor perception of myself, which I was consistently reminded of from a constant stream of negative Head Talk....

"I don't deserve to be here", "I'm not good enough", "I'M A FAKE AND A FRAUD"

Every day, this head talk would fuel my lack of worth and sabotage my success, my happiness and my life.

I was the ultimate "Miss Fake It", because outwardly no-one knew of my internal battle - I was saying and DOING all the right things, building a business as if I had my shit together, while internally hiding a secret that left me feeling hypocritical.

At home, behind closed doors, I was nothing like the positive, happy and confident woman people thought I was. I was Angry. Overwhelmed. Ashamed. Out of control. I frequently LASHED OUT at my husband and my kids and then I'd spend hours in tears, drowning in Guilt.

I'm not a good mum", "they deserve better", "I can't do this anymore"

I felt like I had all of these balls up in the air, and I was trying desperately to keep them all moving 'as they should'. There was no time to really enjoy anything.... it was all.... well.... CHAOS.

I knew then that I had to get a grip on my BS - because it was costing me long-term authentic success, connection and intimacy with my husband and loving relationships with my kids....

it was costing me, ME

I specialise in helping ambitious mums in business turn sabotaging, destructive and negative self talk into emotional control, confidence and clarity.

But what I'm really passionate about is teaching you how to get out of your head, how to take back control of your life, and use those skills to then influence and empower those people around you - especially your kids!

Worse yet? No-one I knew ever talked about the conflict they felt between being a Professional Success and Influence while struggling so violently at home! Everywhere I looked, my peers were talking about how much their professional success ENHANCED their private life - and while the financial gains certainly helped us personally, I couldn't say my success helped us emotionally at all.... if anything, I started to feel more resentment towards the family for 'holding me back' from reaching my 'full professional potential'.

It felt like the more I succeed - the wider the gap

between Work/Life Balance became, and

I was in the middle of this black hole all alone.

It was during this time that I first experienced what I now refer to as Leadership Loneliness.....

the perception that there is no one else who truly understands what you're experiencing,

AND that you can't go to anyone with the absolutely truth of a situation BECAUSE you are a leader.... there's an expectation that, as a mum, a sister, a friend, a member of the community as well as professionally (because women are natural born leaders) that could be SACRIFICED AND LOST if anyone knew the Real YOU.... these are thing things I convinced myself of, that isolated me more and more.

The combination of Imposter Syndrome and Leadership Loneliness created a Vortex of absolute shit - one feeding of the other and driving a whole range of emotions - like guilt, shame, resentment, anger and of course loneliness.

This pattern of Imposter Syndrome and Leadership Loneliness created a whopping big LIE that I lived for almost 3 years.

Until it all became too much.... my personal life was imploding, and the enjoyment and reprieve I'd once found professionally evaporated.

On reflection, this pattern of Imposter Syndrome and Leadership Loneliness created a whopping big LIE that I lived for almost 3 years.

It was at that time, that I knew I had to start practicing what I so often preached to the ladies I inspired "nothing changes until nothing changes" Except this time - I changed direction. Therapy, Counselling, Coaching and Personal Development as I knew it was not cutting it (in some instances, it was making it worse)

NO, I wanted to BREAK THE CYCLES that I was in. And I didn't want to spend copious hours talking about the sh*t I was feeling. I wanted RESOLUTION. And that's what lead me down a path I'd never considered before.... Female Specific Personal Development

I'm a mum of two teenagers, both neurodivergent, both brilliant, both capable of stretching me in ways that require real depth and steadiness. My marriage of 22 years is grounded and real.

Now that I'm in my 40s and my homelife is in the new 'almost but not quiet empty nester phase', my work is quieter and more precise than anything I've done before, because I'm no longer doing it to prove something.

I'm walking the same midlife identity shift my clients are walking. I have the emotional tools, the experience, and the clarity to guide women through it accurately. Not from theory. Not from a highlight reel.

I know what it costs to hold everything together while feeling like you're disappearing inside your own life. I know what it's like to be competent and capable on the outside while quietly questioning everything on the inside.

And I know how to help.

Who I am

Bree Stedman, women's emotional breakthrough specialist and author of Own Your BS®, based in Newcastle NSW Australia, casual

If something in you is done performing fine,

done managing, done waiting to feel like yourself again,

you're in the right place.

If you've found me through a workshop, an event, or a corporate setting and you're wondering whether this work translates, YES, it does!!

The emotional patterns that show up in the boardroom or office are the same ones showing up at home.

The tools are the same.

The results are the same.

The only difference is you've probably been outrunning yours for longer while juggling various roles and responsibilities in and outside of the workplace.

I work with women privately, confidentially and one-to-one, through Creatrix® Resets If you're not sure where to start, book in a chat, and we'll figure it out.
