Meet The Team
Shirin's journey is a vibrant mix of creativity, passion, and purpose. With a background as a TV presenter, Zumba instructor, and dance coach, Shirin quickly realizsd the power of her contagious energy. Her social media followers consistently describe her as a source of vitality, someone who revives and energises those around her.
In 2020, Shirin took a bold step, leaving her career in television to pursue her lifelong passion for psychology and neuroscience. Today, she is a certified mental fitness coach and a soon-to-be psychologist, combining science with her love for helping others.
​
As an entrepreneur and professional woman, Shirin has attended countless networking events, both online and in person. Yet, she found these gatherings often superficial and uninspiring. For her, the deepest and most meaningful connections have always stemmed from shared passions—dance and mental health.
​
This drive to help others strengthen their minds as much as their bodies inspired Shirin to co-found Confident Rebels. The name itself came to life during a brainstorming session with one of her closest friends and university classmates, now a leading brand strategist in Europe. While discussing Shirin’s mission, passions, and purpose, her friend remarked, "So you’re basically a confident rebel?" And just like that, the idea was born.
Confident Rebels is a call to action for all those who dare to live boldly, enjoy life to its fullest, and embrace the mantra of working to live, not living to work. Shirin’s mission is to empower women to find joy, authenticity, and connection while challenging the norms—one confident rebel at a time.
Vicki, the co-founder of Confident Rebels, is deeply passionate about empowering women to step into their fullest potential—whether in their personal lives or professional journeys.
​
Inspired by her work as a menstrual health coach with Pausefully, where she encourages women to slow down, connect with themselves, and reclaim control of their wellbeing, Vicki channeled that same energy into co-creating Confident Rebels.
​
Having found traditional networking to be awkward, uninspiring, and often transactional, Vicki frequently avoided or left such events early, never to return. This experience fueled her desire to create a refreshing alternative—events that break away from rigid networking norms, celebrate individuality, and harness the collective power of women coming together.
​
For Vicki, Confident Rebels is not just about networking; it’s about building a community of women who uplift and inspire one another. It’s a space where connections go far beyond exchanging business cards, fostering genuine relationships that encourage growth and collaboration.
​
At the heart of Confident Rebels is the vision to blend professional growth, personal discovery, and plenty of fun. Vicki is a firm believer in women supporting women and is committed to helping others challenge the status quo, embrace their unique strengths, and achieve their ambitions unapologetically.
​
Through Confident Rebels, she strives to empower women to push boundaries and thrive in both their careers and personal lives.
