Meet ICMI’s Influencer Speakers

In today’s world, where online algorithms increasingly dictate conversations, social media creators show that the ability to influence remains rooted in authenticity. They show that social media isn’t just about content, it’s about connection.

 

ICMI’s influencer speakers have it down to a science. They know how to turn their platform into something bigger than just a feed, building communities, shifting perspectives, and initiating important conversations. Covering topics from money, health, and grief to the importance of digital literacy, these creators use their voice to challenge existing norms and mobilise their audiences toward action.

 

Here’s how they’re reshaping influence, and why your next event needs one of them on stage.

 

Natasha Etschmann

Tash brings a human touch to finance talk. As a Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree and co-host of Get Rich Slow Club, she has built a following by doing something that feels radical in the world of money: telling the truth. Tash makes personal finance feel like self-care, rather than a spreadsheet, and with her warm and relatable demeanour, she is able to change the way people, and young women in particular, trust themselves with money.

 

Sarah Kearns

With a background in policing and a decade-long digital presence, Sarah is a powerful advocate for women. After the stillbirth of her first son, she became a national voice for grief awareness, raising over $120,000 for cuddle cots across Australia. She draws on her professional experience in domestic violence prevention to speak on women’s safety and resilience, delivering presentations that are both honest and profoundly moving.

 

Rachael Casella

Since experiencing the heartbreak of losing her daughter to a rare genetic condition, Rachael has become a leading advocate for genetic carrier screening in Australia. Through Mackenzie’s Mission, Rachael has pushed meaningful policy changes and speaks openly about IVF, grief, and the strength found in post-traumatic growth.

 

Tully Smyth

Going from Big Brother fame to brand partnerships and podcasting, Tully has stayed grounded in one goal: to make a difference. As a Dementia Australia ambassador and mental health advocate, she champions young carers and highlights the often-overlooked emotional labour they undertake. With a memoir on the way, Tully is not just an influencer but a brilliant storyteller.

 

Emma Edwards

Emma is changing the money conversation one mindset shift at a time. Founder of The Broke Generation (now Broke Media), Emma focuses on the psychology behind spending habits. Her debut book Good With Money is now published internationally, and her growing platform bridges financial wellbeing with emotional literacy. With warmth and research-backed insight, Emma explores the “why” factor of our financial habits.

 

Katie Lolas

Educator, mother, and digital truth-teller, Katie has built a following of over 200,000 by speaking openly about her identity in relation to motherhood. Either in the classroom or online, Katie encourages people to question the content they consume and to be their authentic selves.

 

Alice Bleathman

Alice takes wellness out of the Instagram echo chamber and grounds it in science. A former dietitian turned digital educator, she’s known for her no-nonsense approach to nutrition. Alice combines evidence with emotion, speaking on topics such as diet myths or navigating pregnancy. Her approach is fresh, fun, and firmly rooted in the belief that you don’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

These speakers know how to engage an audience, both online and in person. If you’re looking to bring authenticity, relevance and influence to your next event, these are the names to know.
