Welcome to Queen Be

Empowering women throughout their midlife and menopause journey

Are you ready to Be a Queen?

👑If you’re a woman between 35 and 60, navigating the changes of perimenopause or menopause, or perhaps just mid-life itself, you may be feeling a whirlwind of physical, emotional, and mental shifts.

👑Maybe you’re finding it hard to talk about what you’re going through, or perhaps you feel like no one fully understands the impact these changes are having on your body, your emotions, or even your sense of self?

👑If you’re feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or wondering why things that used to be simple now seem so complicated, you’re not alone.

👑You might be juggling responsibilities—work, family, personal health—while managing symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, or changes in how you feel about yourself. At times, it might feel like you’ve lost your confidence or you’re no longer in control of your body or mind.

👑You could be searching for ways to reconnect with yourself, to make sense of it all, and to find your strength again.

🐝If you’re looking for a safe, supportive community of women who truly get it—who’ve been there and are navigating the same journey—you’re in the right place. At Queen Be, we’re here to offer you the guidance, knowledge, support and tools you need to thrive through menopause, not just survive it.

We believe in embracing this life stage with confidence, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Does this sound like you?

Join us to reclaim your well-being, your vitality, and your power.

You deserve to know what is going on, and to feel your best self!

Queen Be is all about supporting you, whether you are….

– A woman needing to discover more about what menopause (and perimenopause) is all about, and perhaps connect with others also going through this.

– A person born with ovaries seeking information about what is happening hormonally.

– Someone wanting to learn more to better support a friend, family member or colleague in their journey.

Why Menopause conversations matter

“I’ll never forget when it hit me. First the exhaustion and overwhelming anxiety, and then progressively the restless legs, relentless brain fog – became constant companions. But no one was talking about why. Even my doctor didn’t connect the dots at first—this was perimenopause.”

Rediscovering Your Purpose: A Journey for Gen X Women

Do you ever reminisce about the days when we, Gen X women, were the trailblazers, the ones shaping the future? We were the pioneers of a new generation, distinct from the Baby Boomers, and the world celebrated our uniqueness.

Nurturing the Future: Unleashing Potential for Ourselves and Our Children

No matter where we are in life, whether we are content or yearning for change, it’s a moment to check in with ourselves. How are things going? What fills our hearts with gratitude, and what aspects of our lives do we desire to transform?

Unmasking the Myth: Why Wonder Woman is a Work of Fiction

The pressure to perform, to balance these seemingly opposing roles, can be overwhelming. Women are frequently pushed to exceed their limits and fulfill external expectations rather than staying true to themselves. They find themselves attempting to embody both the traditional woman’s role in the home and the modern woman’s role in the world. No wonder feelings of burnout and self-doubt creep in. The question arises: Who are we trying to be, and whose identity are we adopting?

What is Menopause?

Our free resources are designed to take you through the hormones and the impacts in all areas of your life, to assist you in gaining a full understanding of what is going on – along with some strategies to regain your confidence and control.

We also have links to other support services, menopause friendly health practitioners and courses that might align with your own unique needs.

Community

It can feel pretty lonely when you no longer feel like yourself and theres no one to talk to about it… Our online community is here to support you throughout your journey.

No judgement, and no diagnosis – just real women like you sharing an experience and supporting each other.

Courses

Our own Queen Be courses are designed to help you transition to your next self – where you feel confident and fulfilled.

We also promote the courses of other amazing women specialising in this mid-life transition, who can provide support in other facets of your life!

Coaching

Ready to step up? Wanting more direct support? We have transformation coaching programs ready to support you to step up and make a difference – for yourself and others.

Is something holding you back?

“I’m worried about being judged or not fitting in.”

It’s completely normal to feel hesitant about opening up, especially when it comes to something as personal as menopause.

At Queen Be, we’ve built a non-judgmental, supportive space where you can share openly or simply listen, whatever feels comfortable for you. You’ll be joining a community of women who’ve been there, who get it, and who are ready to walk this path with you.

“I don’t have time for something new right now.”

Life during menopause can already feel like too much—adding another thing to your plate might seem overwhelming.

 Queen Be is designed to fit into your life, on your terms. Our resources are available when you are. Whether you’re joining a discussion in the $10 safe space or engaging in deeper transformation with our courses, it’s all flexible and on-demand, allowing you to access the support you need, whenever it suits you.

“I’m not sure this is relevant to me.”

Maybe you’re not sure if you’re experiencing perimenopause, or you think it’s still too early to start thinking about menopause.

But did you know that many symptoms can begin long before menopause itself?

Queen Be is here to help you identify and understand the changes happening in your body and mind, no matter where you are in the journey. You deserve to feel informed and supported at every stage.

“What about my privacy?”

We know how important privacy is, especially when discussing sensitive topics.

Our $10 safe space community is hosted behind a paywall, ensuring a secure, private environment where you can share your experiences without worry. You’re in control of how much or how little you want to engage, and your comfort is always our priority.

“I’m not sure I can justify the cost.”

Investing in yourself can feel difficult, but Queen Be offers a range of support options to fit your budget.

From free resources and community connections to our $10 safe space and transformation courses, there’s something for everyone.

And if you choose to go deeper with our courses or coaching, you’ll be accessing expert guidance and a support system that will make a lasting impact on your well-being. It’s not just an expense—it’s an investment in your health and happiness.

Believe you will be okay.

Symptoms of Menopause can be really scary.

It can feel like you are going crazy, or getting early dementia…

Mood swings, depression, anxiety, brain fog, itches, aches, hair loss… the list goes on. There are over 60 recognised symptoms, and there are things that can help, as well as things that you can do to make it easier on yourself.

It can be reassuring to know that you are not alone, and it isn’t forever.

Menopause can happen at any age after puberty, but for most of us we will start experiencing symptoms in our late 30s or 40s.

You are not alone. We’ve got you.

Testimonials and Feedback

"Coaching with Tanya was awesome!"

“Tanya was energetic and passionate and it was infectious. She was able to see through my excuses, calling me out on a few things and helping me set my bar higher. It was exactly the firm but friendly approach I needed.
Since  our sessions I have become much more focused and energised. It really helped me to be held to account. What I’ve noticed since is that I have a much clearer sense on direction which has allowed me to make more strategic decisions, like turning down work I really didn’t want to do – creating space for some really exciting opportunities that have since come my way!

A big part of my focus and energy is how she helped me to find ways to confidently, authentically and genuinely promote myself.

Tanya, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your expertise with me. You have incredible skill at helping people find clarity in the complexity of being human. Anyone who is struggling to reach for the stars and find their way forward will benefit from being coaching by you. You are professional, warm and engaging as you help each person find their potential and act as their personal cheer squad as they smash their goals.

Thanks so much,

Kate.”

Testimonials and Reflections

"Tanya is easy to talk to, gives good, sound and easy to follow advice that really made a difference"

“I found Tanya to be kind, empathetic and she inspired me to think differently. I alwyas felt relaxed, listened to and confident to undertake the suggestions we formed during our sessions together.

We focused on the areas I was really struggling with and talked about ways to approach things. I realised that I wasn’t too far off the mark with many of my concerns and I just needed to take a slightly different approach. These sessions really helped to feel more comfortable that my gut feeling was right and that sparked confidence in putting some new approaches into action.

I really appreciated these sessions.

Christie.”

Gudamuli and welcome to the Queenbe website. We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians, the Darumbal nation, from whose lands we create, broadcast and deliver from, and recognize their continuous connection to country, sea, and community. We pay our respects to them and to their Elders past, present, and emerging. We also share an appreciation of their deep knowledge of storytelling, an age-old practice that spans generations, cultures, and millennia. It’s through stories that wisdom is passed, histories preserved, and connections are. made. It’s a tradition that has breathed life into the very essence of our identities and communities.
