About Us
Mel Sayer
Hi, I'm Mel - an independent mum of three fabulous young children. They are my core and helping to make these little humans the best version of them, keeps me pretty busy. Life takes a whole new direction when you have children, doesn't it? As a woman, let's be honest, most of that work falls on us.
Professionally, I've always had a passion for people and business and after studying that at University, worked my way up through the corporate world for 25 years as a Senior HR Professional.
I can relate to people that feel they are trapped by money, circumstance, health, have been through relationship trauma, feel obligated to follow a path, have learned guilt and belief systems, have had family loss, have been hurt and feel like they are a product of their life, situation and experiences or feel like a victim.
I was a glass half empty woman but, I went through all of this and came out stronger. I learned that the key to a happy and fulfilled life is investment in you and surrounding yourself with the right people that can help take you on the right path.

Suzzie Woods
Hi, I'm Suzzie - a mum, wife, daughter and carer for my amazing mum, who is navigating life with dementia. My journey has been shaped by love, resilience and the deep belief that women thrive when they have the right support and community around them.
With 20+ years in the corporate HR world, I've seen firsthand how confidence, mindset and strong relationships can shape success. Now, as a success coach and co-founder of Between Friends, I'm dedicated to helping women step into their full potential - personally and professionally.
My mum's battle with dementia lit a fire within me, inspiring me to create a space where women can prioritise wellbeing, self care and meaningful connections - not just for themselves, but for the people they love.
I'm on a mission to build a thriving, uplifting community where women inspire, motivate and support each other through all of life's seasons. I believe that success isn't just about achievement, it's about joy, purpose and surrounding yourself with people who lift you higher.
