Second Spring: Get Turned On, Confident AF, and More Alive than Ever at 40+ is a virtual summit of micro-trainings for women in midlife, whether they're in perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopausal, who want to reclaim desire, confidence, and the most alive, connected intimacy of their lives. It runs September 28 to October 2, 2026, and is completely free for attendees, which maximizes your reach.

Second Spring is brand new, but Tilly is not. She has produced 7 summits over the years, with a strong track record of high-quality production, meaningful speaker experiences, and engaged audiences. You're getting in on the ground floor of a fresh summit, run by someone who has done this many times before.

Second Spring is for women in midlife, primarily those navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the years beyond, who are done with the story that desire, aliveness, and great sex fade with age. They're motivated, open, and ready for real transformation, not surface-level content. As a speaker, that means your audience is already primed to engage deeply with your work.

Yes, completely free. No barriers to attendance means higher registration numbers and a broader audience than a paid event typically allows. A larger, engaged audience means more eyes on your work, more sign-ups for your complimentary gift, and more warm leads for your business.

The 3,000+ email list requirement keeps things fair for everyone. Summits work when every speaker brings meaningful reach to the collective audience, so all speakers benefit from a strong shared pool of attendees, not just those with the biggest platforms. A screenshot is required as part of your speaker form submission.

The 3,000 baseline is there to ensure a strong collective experience for all speakers. If you're close and believe your work would be a powerful contribution, reach out to Chris at chrisisraw@gmail.com before applying so we can have a conversation.

Almost certainly. The theme is intentionally expansive: menopause and hormones, pelvic and sexual health, desire and intimacy, relationships, somatic and embodiment work, and holistic care are all welcome. If your work helps women in midlife feel more alive, connected, and at home in their bodies, you likely have a place here. Submit your details and we'll find your angle together.

Tilly opens by interviewing you, about 15 minutes, drawing out your story, your expertise, and your approach. Then the floor is yours for roughly 10 minutes to teach a framework, method, or signature system from your work, something attendees can use right away. You close by inviting them to receive your complimentary gift, followed by a short wrap-up. There's no live exercise to run, just your best thinking, shared simply.

No slides required. This is a conversational interview and teaching session, not a formal presentation. You're welcome to use slides if they genuinely support your teaching, but most experts find the conversational format more natural and impactful. Tilly's interviewing style is built to bring out your best thinking organically.

This is a pre-recorded session, so you have the comfort of knowing you're not live. Tilly is a highly skilled interviewer who knows how to hold space and redirect gracefully if you lose your thread. The session is professionally edited before publishing. Minor stumbles, pauses, or restarts are completely normal and handled in post-production.

Yes. Tilly sends guiding prep questions before your recording call so you can gather your thoughts and feel confident going in. You won't be walking in blind. The questions are designed to set you up to share your most meaningful and useful insights.

A laptop or desktop computer with a functioning camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and a quiet, reasonably well-lit space. You don't need a professional studio — a tidy background and good natural light or a ring light are perfectly sufficient. Tilly's team will confirm all technical details before your call date.

Your call-to-action at the end of the session should be a complimentary gift for attendees — a free resource that allows them to join your email list. This is what the session structure is built around. You're welcome to mention that you offer paid work, but the main CTA should be a free opt-in. This keeps the experience valuable for attendees while organically growing your list.

You commit to sending 2 solo emails to your list and publishing 2 social media posts during the promo window (September 10 to 27). Everything is provided: swipe copy for the emails, graphics for the posts, and reel footage for social. Total time is roughly 30 to 60 minutes, and the content creation is done for you.

A solo email is a dedicated email to your list promoting the summit — not a mention within a newsletter alongside other content. Solo emails perform significantly better for event promotion and ensure the summit receives the full attention of your audience. All copy is pre-written for you; you simply personalise and send.

No live attendance is required. Your session is pre-recorded and broadcast to attendees during the summit period. You can watch the launch unfold from wherever you are. We do encourage speakers to engage with any DMs or inquiries that come in during the summit days, as this is when your new leads are at their warmest.

It depends on how compelling your free gift is and how actively you promote. Speakers with a specific, valuable lead magnet tightly aligned with the summit theme tend to see the strongest sign-up rates. Because this is the first Second Spring, we won't throw around a guaranteed number. What we can promise is a warm, aligned audience and all the materials to help you make the most of it.

Before the summit launches, all confirmed speakers are invited to a virtual gathering to connect and meet one another. It's one of the most valued parts of the experience. Genuine referrals, collaborations, and friendships regularly come out of it. You're joining a network of respected, aligned leaders, not just a speaker line-up.

Yes. After the summit concludes, you'll have access to your session recording to use as evergreen content — embed it on your website, share on social, add to a media kit, or pitch to podcast hosts and media outlets. It becomes a lasting piece of your speaker portfolio.

After you submit the Jotform, we will review your details and follow up (if needed). However, please complete all three steps — the speaker form, speaker agreement, and Calendly booking — as soon as possible. Your spot is not officially confirmed until all three are complete. Spots are limited, and we process on a first-come, first-fully-confirmed basis.

Reschedule as early as possible through your booking link. Recording must be completed by August 21, so prompt rescheduling matters. If something urgent comes up, email Chris at chrisisraw@gmail.com and we'll accommodate where we can.

Reach out to Chris at chrisisraw@gmail.com, who coordinates the speaker experience and is happy to answer anything before you commit. We want you to feel completely clear and confident before saying yes.
