WE ARE LIVE AND FILLING OUR 2025 EDITIONS NOW ***
55 FACES was born out of this question. Our stories are being created individually and collectively in every moment. 55 FACES is a conversation starter where we are actively deciding upon and impacting the story that we next tell.
What has begun is an inner and outer dialogue that is both transformational and essential on all levels, especially for women who are leading in this world.
Would you like to contribute to the next 55 FACES book? A narrative piece that poses the question “what is the next story you want written for women?” We want you, your experience and world view shared in this piece, that when shared between all 55 women and their communities which span six continents, form a beautiful time stamp and a vehicle for our collective voices to instigate and move change forward.
The essence of 55 very different women are captured in each book. Regardless of who you are, where you are from or how you choose to exist, you have something deep within, that needs to be shared right in this very moment.

THIS IS WHAT IS COMING YOUR WAY!!!
We are SO SO SO EXCITED for you to be here right now, as we have something BIG brewing, just for you!!
Building on the immense success of our 2023 and 2024 books that have become Amazon #1 best sellers, and the global community that has surrounded these, we are currently onboarding women for our 2025 editions.
YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE PUBLISHED - HOLDING YOUR FACE, WORDS, WISDOM IN YOUR HANDS IN LATE 2025/EARLY 2026! IMAGINE THAT!
As a woman who KNOWS that her words, wisdom and voice are HERE to lead the way forward, you KNOW that you are here for a bigger purpose, and having your story- past, present and future, along with the wisdom about what you see as next for the broader collective projected across the world and expanded and celebrated by women who you would never have imagined otherwise being connected with.... you KNOW that this will change, shift, move something for you!
TO BE PUBLISHED IS TO HOLD A LEGACY OF YOUR BEING HERE AND HAVING MADE A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE OF IT!
YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO TWO BOOKS BEING PUBLISHED. One, hosts yours, and 54 other women’s stories from across the world. The other, where your contribution will directly support 55 and Aspire impacting a diverse community, whose words often go unspoken. In 2022/3, these were the stories of Balinese/Indonesian women. In 2024 these have been African women.
IN 2025, THESE ARE THE STORIES OF ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIAN WOMEN.
This is where your impact REALLY expands on both local and global levels! Yes- YOU are making your mark for yourself, 55 other women across the world AND for 55 Aboriginal Australian women as well! This is over 111 women in this years editions alone.
The books lead into our Melbourne launch, as well as our Aspire Umoja Tour in Africa, our women's leadership/change/impact Summit, held in Bali, Indonesia between 14th - 18th June 2025, and we will also be facilitating an impact trip within Australia as a special launch of our Aboriginal Australia 55 FACES..
The Summit is where our books will first be launched in person. It is also THE space where, in our coming together, CHANGE is both instigated and amplified. We will be together- both globally and locally.
Speaking. Sharing. Celebrating. Collaborating.
This is a truly EPIC- a 4.5 day event that highlights women who are impacting change in their various and diverse ways from across the globe. We will be delving into all the BIG conversations, while celebrating change work and those who lead it.
In the the essence of "Phosphorescence", every single woman attending will leave reignited and ready to amplify her change making potential out in the world.

MORE INFOAbout Aspire and Michelle:
I created The Aspire Series four years ago and hold about 18 years worth of facilitation, social work and coaching experience.
It is a channel for what I want to see created in the world. The stuff that excites me most is bringing people together, creating EPIC conversations and creating and celebrating social impact and change.
I deeply understand that our lives, stories and experiences hold the keys to much of the change that is needed in the world and that our connection to self, others, our capacity to express and lead from this place are the instigators to fulfil the impact and change that holds meaning for us, our communities and something far greater.
I am a firm advocate of the fact that we cannot take the time that we are here for granted, and that our legacy must be lived in each and every moment. Our chance to leave the world better is here now, and it must happen as a result of us being here.
My greatest vision for The Aspire Series is that it is a global platform for women who are leading social change and impact and that every component of it offers the opportunity to best contribute in ways that hold meaning for them and their communities.
About Who This is For:
You identify as a woman and:
- You KNOW that this is a big yes and trust your gut as you say it
- You have something really important to share and want an EPIC vehicle designed for it to be delivered
- You care about, enjoy and celebrate diversity, and the change that you are here to make in the world
- You want 2025 to be the year where you are published and help to lead this phenomenal conversation
- You want the chance to speak at The Summit to a broad and diverse audience of women.
About How This Will Work:
Once you register, you will receive all resources you need to get started and you will be connected with our team.
We have formally begun The 55 Writing Extravaganza - jump in and join us!
You will have the opportunity to attend up to three online guided 75 minute sessions, designed to draw the strongest story from you, the one your heart and soul wants shared right now and to construct it into a publishable piece that you LOVE!
They are a facilitated combination between deep diving into your story, and accountability to get it into words on the page, and looking and feeling great!
You will attend a 1:1 session with Michelle to refine and finalise your piece.
You will also submit photos for publishing.
Our manuscript will then be compiled and our books will be launched in Melbourne, Africa, Bali, and through our Australian impact trip through 2026.
Information about these launches is available on alternative Aspire pages.
