KEYNOTE POWERHOUSE
Hello! I’m Demi
I’m an author, encourager, and forever fan of the in-between moments most people skip past. My talks are part story, part soul-work, and part “wait... did she just say that out loud?”
I speak to women who are high-capacity but low on margin. Creatives who feel called but a little tired. Leaders who need reminding that softness is not weakness—and that slow doesn’t mean stuck.
My goal? To make the room feel safe, seen, and stirred. To offer words that land, linger, and lead to actual transformation, not just a good Instagram quote.
Because Sharing the Stage Isn’t the Same as Owning It.
Whether it’s a women’s retreat tucked into the hills, a podcast recorded between school pick-ups, or a stage filled with lights and name tags, I don’t just show up with a talk. I bring the kind of stories that feel familiar, the kind of truth that meets people where they are, and the kind of heart that turns a message into a moment they’ll carry home. My goal isn’t just to inspire, it’s to connect, to stir something real, and to remind every woman in the room she’s not alone in her in-between.

BALANCE DOESN'T EXIST
At the age of 44, Demi Austin-Thomas made a bold, life-altering decision—she stopped living for approval and started owning her power. As a media personality, midlife transformation coach, and sought-after speaker, Demi delivers an unfiltered, high-energy keynote that challenges outdated beliefs about success in midlife.
In her signature talk, "Own Your Bold Fire," Demi doesn’t just inspire—she equips audiences with a powerful framework to burn down limiting beliefs, rewrite their rules, and step into an era of fearless self-ownership.
Through electrifying storytelling, raw truth, and strategic insight, Demi proves that 40+ isn’t the beginning of the end—it’s the start of the most audacious chapter yet.
We’ve been lied to—midlife isn’t a season of decline, it’s a power move. The only thing stopping you is the outdated script you keep reading from. In this bold, high-impact keynote, Demi Austin-Thomas dismantles the myths about midlife, confidence, and success, exposing how imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and playing small have kept too many women stuck.
As a midlife transformation expert and media personality, Demi doesn’t just tell women to burn the old script—she hands them the pen to write a bold, unapologetic, and purpose-driven new one.
Through raw truth-telling, real-world strategies, and electrifying storytelling, she challenges women to own their audacity, take up space, and lead the next chapter of their lives with unstoppable confidence.
For too long, women have inherited rules they never wrote—rules that told them to sacrifice, shrink, and silence their desires. But we are not our mothers.
We are the generation that gets to rewrite the narrative. This keynote is about mental reprogramming and inner healing—breaking free from outdated conditioning, confronting deep-rooted beliefs, and giving ourselves permission to want more.
It’s time to interrupt the generational patterns that keep women stuck in cycles of doubt and obligation. The mindset that says it’s too late, that you’ve missed your moment, or that you should be satisfied with less? It’s a lie. Women over 40 are reclaiming their voices, their confidence, and their right to take up space—on their terms.
This isn’t just about rising. It’s about rewriting, reclaiming, and revolutionizing the way women move through the world.
