Peter Anthony is the co-founder of you’re a nuff, an organisation encouraging young women to have conversations about healthy self-esteem with their peers, their parents and those who care about them. Peter's daughter Belle was the Inspiration for ‘you’re a nuff’ when as a 16-year-old she couldn’t find a reason to live life. Her journey to healthy self-esteem inspired them to share the message – ‘let’s talk about why you feel you are not enough’. Nuff now sells clothing for people to remember who they are and to start conversations with young women who struggle with healthy self-esteem.

Anke Middelmann is a German national, but she has spent most of her life abroad - UK, Belgium, US, France - for study, work and professional life.
For most of her life, she considered it impossible to have everything — a lovely family, a happy relationship, a perfect career, beautiful home and no financial worries - all rolled into one and all the time. And so, she spent many years living up to expectations, meeting essential needs and trying the best she could. Life was full of “shoulds”, “needs” and “I would if I coulds”.
She finally listened to her little voice within and with inner determination, she gradually replaced the “shoulds” with “wants.” Most importantly, she acknowledged her long-held dream to help people become their best.

Marcy McDonald is the daughter of a genius father and a schizophrenic but loving mother, so she started life with an unusual gene pool. She’s worked at a 6-figure corporate job, and she’s hauled pounds of avocados on her back. She’s dined in 5-star restaurants in Paris, and she’s lived on beans and rice. She’s lived in a house worth more than half a million dollars, and she’s lived out of her car. She’s had ups and downs and everything in between on life’s journey. She believes that if she was able to learn how to be emotionally healthy, be intentional about her purpose, and be at peace—and happy—every day, then anyone can.
For more than a decade Marcy has coached clients on focus, overcoming overwhelm, productivity, and confidence. Because of her deep and broad experience, she was selected to participate in Season 2 of 4 Days to Save the World in 2022, with an audience of 8 million viewers. In addition, she is one of only 36 people to attain international certification as an end-of-life doula, an element she incorporates in her coaching.
By combining her neurologically based exercises with the urgency that comes from looking closely at your own death, she has created a unique and powerful program that helps professional women feeling burned out find practical ways to recover--and maintain--their peace of mind. Her program takes 90 days, but lasts a lifetime. You can learn more about how her programs can change your life by visiting https://selfmasterytransformation.com .

Susan Adzagba Gavua Agyare was born in Ghana, West Africa and she came to study at the University of Queensland in 1995. She came from a very spiritual family. Both of her paternal and maternal grandfathers were heads of churches. Her maternal grandfather performed healings and she grew up around that. From a very young age, she knew she had some special assignment to do but wasn’t sure about what it was. She studied counselling and around the age of 40, she knew there was a lot more to do. That’s how she found Ann Moir-Bussy who introduced her to the Coaching Institute – where she studied. She has since worked with other women and children to embody their uniqueness and trust their intuition. The journey continues to unfold for her and the people she serves.
