Meet Chantelle
Known globally as The Catalyst, Chantelle Botha isn’t your typical motivational speaker. Just like fire turns raw metal into a sword, she carries the fire of transformation to ignite lasting change in others.
Her own fire was forged in the dark. After years of battling addiction, shame, and burnout behind the mask of success, Chantelle hit rock bottom — and began the radical journey back to herself. That journey of courage and curiosity became her mission: helping others reclaim the integrity of their identity and rise with confidence.
Through her signature frameworks — the Phoenix Blueprint and the (Se)X-Factor — Chantelle challenges outdated narratives about confidence, leadership, and authenticity. She is the founder of Phoenix, creator of transformational programs, retreats, and coaching experiences, and the author of Phoenix Rising.
From keynote stages to boardrooms, she has guided thousands of leaders, professionals, and seekers to rediscover who they are and step into their fullest power.
If you’re ready to stop performing and start becoming, Chantelle is your spark. She doesn’t just light a fire. She helps you remember you’ve always been one.
