Shelly Horton

TV journalist Shelly Horton turned her debilitating peri menopause experience into a mission.  She wrote I’m Your Peri Godmother so other women aren’t sideswiped like she was.  She also co-created “Don’t Sweat It,” a company that stands at the forefront of advocating for menopause-friendly workplaces. Shelly’s unique combination of lived experience advocacy, legislative action, and science-based education positions her as more than just a speaker; she’s a catalyst for transformative change.

Her 30-year career encompasses significant roles, including 11-years at ABC, eight-years at Channel Seven, six-years with Fairfax, and five-years for ET America. In her current nine-year tenure at Channel 9, Shelly has been a weekly feature on TODAY and TODAY EXTRA.

Shelly is also the founder of ShellShocked Media, a company specialising in media and speaker training. She trains others on everything they need to know about delivering the perfect interview, showing up on social media or speaking in public. She’s also a seasoned speaker herself and her keynote addresses, delivered both locally and internationally, are renowned for being motivational, practical, and inspirational.
