Letâs Be HonestâŠ
Midlife and menopause? It can feel like everythingâs unraveling.
Your brain feels foggy. Your bodyâs doing unpredictable things. Emotions run wild, and no one seems to get itânot your doctor, not your workplace, not even you sometimes.
Hi, I’m Tanya. When I hit perimenopause, I didnât know what was happening. No one had ever talked about it. Even my GP seemed confused. But I knew something wasnât right, so I started digging.
What I found was life-changing.
I learned that what we go through in midlife isnât just about hormonesâitâs about identity, purpose, energy, and reclaiming control over our story.
Itâs also about what comes next.
That journeyâplus a heartbreaking family experienceâled me here. To creating a space where no woman feels alone in this. To coaching women not just through menopause, but into a new, empowered way of living.
Because this season of change?
Itâs not an ending. Itâs a becoming.

Space to reflect and be heard without judgment

Our coaching programs are designed for women navigating change, craving clarity, and seeking purpose.
Our Mission and Social Imperative
Learn Grow Become is a certified social enterprise that empowers women and students to build confidence, direction, and purpose through accessible, trauma-informed learning and coaching experiences.
Our business operates through two core programs:
Learn2Learn supports students entering or returning to tertiary education, with a focus on disadvantaged and Indigenous learners. The program delivers practical, strengths-based tools to build academic confidence, learning strategies, and a sense of belonging. It includes a culturally appropriate wrap-around version co-designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
Queen Be supports women navigating midlife transitionsâparticularly perimenopause and menopauseâthrough group coaching, guided programs, and community spaces that rebuild wellbeing, identity, and life direction.
As part of our social contract, we:
– Offer free access to menopause information and relatable, evidence-based resources for all (through our Queens Be Free membership);
– Provide subsidised program access to women recovering from domestic violence who are ready to rebuild their lives (please reach out for more information); and
– Offer free access to culturally appropriate programs for Indigenous learners (through our Learn2Learn programs).
While our work is trauma-informed, we are not a crisis or therapeutic serviceâwe support those ready for growth.
We align with SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality) to create lasting social impact.
đ Is Queen Be right for me?
Queen Be is more than a communityâitâs your midlife catalyst for change.

đ Why Does Queen Be Exist?
Because too many women navigate midlife in silence.

Because you deserve more than just âcoping.â
Weâre here to change the narrative. To provide knowledge, connection, and the kind of support that leads to real, lasting transformation.

đ Where Did Queen Be Begin?
Queen Be was born out of both personal experience and deep professional insight. When Tanya Rutherford entered perimenopause, sheâlike manyâfelt confused and unseen. Her curiosity as a coach and learning designer led her to dig deeper, and what she found became the seed of something bigger.
Queen Be is her way of creating the support and learning space she wishes she hadâone thatâs inclusive, empowering, and transformation-focused.

đ What We Stand For
At Queen Be, our values arenât just words on a pageâthey shape every conversation, course, coaching session, and connection. These are the principles that guide how we show up, and how we walk alongside you.
đ 1. Compassionate Curiosity
We believe in meeting ourselves and each other with gentleness and curiosityânot judgment.
Growth begins when we ask, âWhatâs really going on here?â and truly listen.
We honour the complexity of each womanâs journey and hold space for her to explore it with openness.
đ 2. Empowerment through Education
Knowledge is powerâbut self-understanding is liberation.
We offer tools, insights, and learning pathways so you can trust your body, your choices, and your voice.
Because you deserve to become your own best advocate.
đ 3. Real Connection
Healing and transformation donât happen in isolation.
We create brave, inclusive spaces where women feel seen, supported, and never aloneâspaces where laughter, truth, and vulnerability are welcome.
Real community is built on empathy, authenticity, and mutual respect.
đ 4. Whole-of-Self Wellness
Mind. Body. Emotions. Spirit.
You are more than your symptoms, more than your roles.
We support the whole youâbecause well-being isnât one-size-fits-all.
Together, we explore what well feels likeâfor you.
đ 5. Purposeful Growth
Change is inevitable. Growth is intentional.
We donât just help you copeâwe help you turn transitions into turning points.
Itâs about uncovering deeper meaning, finding your voice again, and choosing whatâs next with clarity and confidence.
đ 6. Collective Impact
When one woman rises, she brings others with her.
Your personal growth is powerfulâand itâs part of something bigger.
Together, weâre rewriting the stories and shifting the systems that shape womenâs lives.
We’re building a ripple effect of empowered changemakers.
 What is Our Vision?
đ We aspire towards a world where midlife women are not dismissed or diminished …
but recognised, supported, and celebrated as powerful change-makers in their own lives and communities.
đź Whatâs Your Next Chapter?
Youâve made it this farâwhich probably means somethingâs stirring in you.
Maybe itâs a whisper of change. Maybe itâs the weight of not knowing whatâs next.
Wherever you are, Queen Be coaching is here to help you move forwardâwith compassion, clarity, and confidence.

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.
