MEET OUR FINALISTS
✨ Raw. Real. Revolutionary. ✨
We’re proud to introduce Belinda Trisic, a finalist
in the Real and Relatable Voice Award at the
Celebrate Women Awards 2025.
Belinda is the founder of The Aligned Image
Movement, a powerful space helping midlife
women reconnect with themselves beyond beauty
standards and perfection myths. With over 20
years in the beauty and image industry, her true
gift isn’t just teaching style—it’s creating
permission for women to show up as their whole,
authentic selves.
Her leadership is unapologetically human—mixing
grit with vulnerability, strategy with soul. Belinda
reminds women everywhere: you don’t need
perfection to be powerful. You just need to be
real.
Let’s celebrate Belinda for giving voice to truth,
connection, and freedom in midlife.
✨ From Rock Bottom to Real Impact ✨
We’re proud to introduce Carrie-Ann McLean, a
finalist in the Real and Relatable Voice Award at
the Celebrate Women Awards 2025.
At 49, Carrie-Ann hit rock bottom—homeless,
drowning in debt, and battling addictions. But
instead of hiding, she chose truth. By sharing her
raw and real story, she began to rebuild her life
step by step, reclaiming her confidence and
purpose along the way.
Her book Budget Right has since inspired
countless people to face their financial and
emotional struggles without shame, proving that
vulnerability is not weakness—it’s the key to
transformation.
Let’s celebrate Carrie-Ann for turning her
honesty into hope and lighting the way for others
to rise.
