Local mum and coach chosen to speak at National Empowerment Festival

Houghton Regis-based mum and self-development coach, Lolly Williams-Gibbs, has been selected to speak at Womanifest 2025.

She will take to the Wellbeing tent to deliver her transformational workshop, Design Your Life: Reconnect, Realign, and Create a Life You Love, at the UK’s leading female empowerment festival this July.

Lolly is the founder of Free Your Future Coaching, helping mums reclaim their identity, rebuild their confidence, and design a life that feels fulfilling, balanced, and true to them. Drawing from her own journey as a neurodiverse parent carer living with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, she blends her previous teaching career and lived experience with coaching expertise to support mums in redefining success and breaking free from limiting beliefs.

“Being part of Womanifest is more than just a speaking gig, it’s a moment of full-circle magic for me. I’ve followed the event for years, inspired by the way it brings together women from all walks of life in such an honest, empowering space. To now be stepping up as a speaker, sharing tools that helped me turn my own breakdown into a breakthrough, feels surreal and deeply meaningful.”

Lolly’s work centres around intentional living and passing down emotional resilience and life skills to the next generation. She believes when mums live by design, not default, they model a powerful legacy for their children.
