The Friendship We All Deserve (And How One Simple Post Changed Everything)

By Suzzie Woods & Mel Sayer, Co-Founders of Between Friends.  A Global Wellness Community for Women

Welcome to Between Friends — Your Place to Thrive!

We’re Suzzie & Mel career women, coaches, and founders of Between Friends.

We created this because we believe women deserve more than burnout, surface-level conversations, or self-improvement that feels like another item on the to-do list.

You deserve real connection. Real growth. Real support.

And that’s what Between Friends is here to deliver daily.

This isn’t another group.
This is a movement.

We combine coaching, community, and our BE GREAT Morning Practice to help women feel better, live well, and show up powerfully.

Let’s Get Real for a Second...

We didn’t want to join another club. Or a gym.
We just wanted… friends.

Not to network.
Not to chase status.
We just missed having women around us who got it.

So, we did something uncomfortable.
We posted in a local Facebook group.

What we expected: silence.
What we got: 100+ women all saying some version of...

“Me too. I’ve been feeling the same.”

Women shared stories of burnout, divorce, menopause, motherhood, grief, weight gain, moving cities, starting over...

But beneath it all was one truth:

Friendship gets harder as we get older but the need never disappears.

That’s How Between Friends Was Born

From one brave moment, a ripple began.
What started as a simple post turned into something bigger.

Because women everywhere — from London to Aberdeen — wanted the same thing:

• A space to connect

• A reason to show up

• A reminder that WE all matter

Why Skool?

We launched Between Friends on Skool because we didn’t want more noise we wanted real connection, meaningful growth, and lasting results.

Skool is a safe, private platform where strong communities come together.
There are no ads. No distractions. No clickbait articles. No endless reels that pull you into a scroll-hole you never meant to enter. (We’ve all been there.)

Built by entrepreneur Sam Ovens, Skool was designed with purpose to bring together the right people with the right tools, all in one place.

It’s more than a community space.
It’s also a learning platform with a built-in resource library so you get the information you need, when you need it AND without the noise of typical social media.

We chose Skool because it supports our vision: to create a focused, uplifting space for growth-minded women to connect, learn, and thrive — together.

Inside Between Friends on Skool, You’ll:

✅ Practice the BE GREAT Morning Routine

✅ Practice the BE CALM Evening Routine
✅ Join live coaching, masterclasses, and feel-good events
✅ Make real connections locally and globally
✅ Be part of a kind, honest, and empowering circle

This isn’t a Facebook group. This is your daily dose of wellness, joy, and momentum.
