GUEST SPEAKERS
Meet The Guest Speakers
Two distinct worlds — science and mindset — brought together for one day.
Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple
Science Communicator | Female Physiology & Exercise Expert
Dr. Lauren Colenso-Semple is a science communicator with expertise in female physiology and exercise.
She holds a Ph.D. in Integrative Physiology from McMaster University and a Master’s in Exercise Science from the University of South Florida.
Through her research, teaching, public speaking, and online platforms, Dr. Lauren is known for making complex topics accessible — and for calling out the myths that hold women back from reaching their health and fitness goals.
She is also a co-owner of the MASS Research Review, where she helps bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical fitness strategies.
Joseph Maldonado
Mindset Leader | IAM Center President
Joseph Maldonado is a compassionate leader, visionary, and guide for those ready to awaken to their fullest potential.
His journey began at New York University, where he served as a full-time Communications Instructor and earned his Master of Arts in Human Communication while pursuing doctoral studies in the Humanities.
He then stepped into corporate America, channeling his expertise into strategic planning, management, and customer service — sharpening tools he would later turn toward soul-level work.
In 2000, Joseph left the corporate world to return to his true passion: guiding others on their personal and spiritual journeys. That calling became IAM Center — a space devoted to truth, transformation, and awakening.
He is also the co-author of two boundary-pushing books, including “Lessons from the F*%#ING Master” — a series of unflinching conversations with a teacher who speaks hard truths without apology.
GYM SESSION
Private gym session with BABS coaches
There will be a live coaching session, right after the talks. Your coaches walk you through the movement patterns, the form, the mindset behind the work. You ask questions in real time. You apply it immediately.
You train next to the team and the women in the room with you — people who showed up for the exact same reason you did.

FAQs
Good Questions
Is this only for BABS clients?
Nope. This event is open to any woman who wants to come. Whether you’re already part of the squad or just curious about what we do. You’re welcome here.
Is this event open to men?
This is a women-only event. Badass Babe Squad is a community built by women, for women and this day is no different. We can’t wait to have you in the room.
Can I bring a friend?
Absolutely. Each ticket is per person though, so your friend will need to purchase their own spot. One checkout = one seat. If you’re coming together, just make sure you both complete your own purchase.
What should I wear?
You’ll need workout clothes and athletic shoes for the gym session in the afternoon. Think layers: something comfortable for sitting in a talk, something you can train in right after.
Where is the gym session taking place?
The gym session is not at the hotel. We’ll be heading to Rec Fitness Kelowna. Details and directions will be sent to you after you secure your spot.
How do we get from the hotel to the gym?
The gym is at walking distance from the hotel.
Is food included?
No. During the midday break, you’re free to explore the hotel restaurant or grab something nearby.
