Empowering Women to Thrive Beyond 40

Juli Madacey is the co-founder of Fabulous Beyond 40 and a certified menopause coach, master health coach, holistic health practitioner, master herbalist, and personal trainer. She specializes in coaching professional women over 40, helping them navigate perimenopause and their menopause journey with confidence, vitality, and a sense of humor.

Through her personalized coaching approach—built on four key pillars: Think, Eat, Move, and Live—Juli is on a mission to redefine menopause as a fabulous new chapter, rather than the beginning of the end.

When she’s not coaching, Juli can be found cycling, hiking, or paddleboarding around her home in Northern Italy with her husband. She also collaborates with her UK-based business partner, James, to develop bold new ideas that challenge conventional notions of thriving after 40.

Before you became the business titan you are today, enlighten us about the thrilling adventures of your pre-business life.

Before diving into entrepreneurship, I wore many hats—corporate HR professional, Global Mobility Specialist, and multitasking maven. My journey wasn’t linear; I navigated career changes, marriage, divorce, and the adventure of rediscovering myself after 40. My biggest adventure? Embracing life’s chaos, thriving despite health challenges, and rebuilding from scratch more times than I care to count.

Along the way, I became deeply passionate about health and wellness, honing expertise in holistic solutions. It’s been a wild ride, filled with grit, growth, and laugh-out-loud moments. And my love affair with cycling, hiking, and paddleboarding? They’ve taken me to the literal peaks and valleys of self-discovery.

Could you elaborate on the nature of your initiative/business/current role, highlighting its purpose and the ways it benefits people?

At Fabulous Beyond 40, we specialize in helping professional women over 40 take back control of their health and happiness during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Our approach is grounded in compassion, science, and a pinch of sass; we offer everything from personalized coaching and functional blood test analysis to practical workshops and VIP retreats.

We’re not about quick fixes—we’re about building sustainable, joyful lifestyles that work for real women with real lives. By addressing physical, emotional, and mental wellness, we give our clients the tools to feel vibrant, confident, and fabulous at any age. Because thriving isn’t optional; it’s fabulous.

What has been the response of the users/consumers towards your venture? 

The response has been phenomenal. Women constantly tell us how life-changing it is to finally feel seen, heard, and empowered. We’ve been honored to receive the Best Menopause Coaching Company 2024 award and the Client Service Excellence Award 2024 from Global Health & Pharma.

Beyond accolades, it’s the transformation stories that really drive us—clients rediscovering their energy, ditching crash diets for good, and embracing life with new confidence. It’s incredibly fulfilling to know that our work is helping women live their best lives, unapologetically.

Having a strong support system is essential for your well-being. We would love to know who your biggest supporter is.

My biggest cheerleader is my husband, Ian. He’s my rock, my sounding board, and my partner in all things adventurous—whether it’s cycling the Alps or planning our dream life together.

Then there’s my business partner, James, whose unwavering belief in our mission keeps me inspired. And, of course, our clients and community—they remind me every day why we do what we do. It takes a village, and I’m beyond grateful for mine.

As a woman entrepreneur, what changes do you hope to see in the world, and what opportunities are you seeking?

I’d love to see more women embracing their power and redefining what success looks like, especially after 40. Society loves to tell us our best years are behind us, but I’m here to flip that narrative.

I want a world where menopause is no longer taboo, where women have access to real support—not myths or quick fixes. Opportunity-wise, I’m looking to expand our impact through corporate wellness initiatives, VIP retreats, and collaborations with like-minded leaders who share our passion for empowering women.

Women now stand shoulder-to-shoulder with men in the workplace, breaking through glass ceilings to reach the top. What are your thoughts on women’s leadership today?

Women’s leadership today is fierce, authentic, and long overdue. We’re rewriting the playbook—leading with empathy, collaboration, and unapologetic confidence.

Women over 40 bring an extra edge to the table: life experience, resilience, and the ability to juggle a myriad of things without breaking a sweat. As leaders, we’re proving that age isn’t a barrier; it’s an asset. And the more we support and amplify each other, the stronger we all become. Together, we’re unstoppable.
