Brooke Elizabeth is an Inner-Healing Coach, who specializes in connection to self and spirituality. Her teachings center around self-discovery, self-worth, self-acceptance, and coming back to the root of who you truly are at your core, to become the outward expression of embodied authenticity and self-proclaimed power. Brooke's ultimate hope is for everyone to connect with themselves deeply, so that as many humans as possible can bridge the gap that separates us from ourselves and our inner knowing. In addition to her mission as a coach, she is an author, podcast host, reiki practitioner, yoga teacher, and NEDA (National Eating Disorder Awareness) affiliate.   When Brooke faced the impacts of her early childhood traumas as an adult, she felt lost, hopeless, and disconnected from her body. When she decided to seek out help for her mental health and begin the road to recovery from an eating disorder, something inside of her began to whisper. Little by little, a slight calling emerged from within, leading her to believe that her life was meant for so much more beyond the limitations and boxes she'd placed herself in. She made the radical decision to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so that she could learn to transform her trauma and pains into her purpose, into her power. This pivotal shift led Brooke down the path to where she is today, leading a life of connection to herself on the deepest level. By being willing to do the inner work and take the journey back home to herself, she now lives an empowered life that is limitless.   With a mission to help guide others to truly meet themselves fully and connect with the conscious understanding of innate internal worth, Brooke remains a trusted, authentic soul, highly admired by the people she touches the hearts of. Her mantra is "Know yourself, love yourself, trust yourself, discover yourself, meet yourself again and again because it all starts with you."

She is an engaging and high energy speaker with a background in musical theatre, president of the Rotary Satellite Club of Empowering Women, and founded The We KANN Create program, which is designed to help women believe they "KANN" create their dream lives through uncovering their deepest desires, their inner power and mastering the Law of Attraction. A firm believer that when women do what they love for a living they all attract the people, experiences and things that are meant for them, Karys supports her clients to find their true path and lead the fulfilling lives they were meant to live. She specialises in helping women evolve their mindset so they are no longer hiding in the shadows, playing small and settling for less than they are worth – they are being and believing that they are their own creator, and when they are in their power that anything they want will come to them with ease, grace and flow without even trying. There is nothing they cannot achieve and they must follow the desire in their heart.

Lauren Coll is an Authenticity Expert, coach, speaker, writer, and founder of Lauren Coll Coaching. She is the creator of the UNMUTED Method, a transformational framework that helps women reconnect with who they truly are beneath expectations, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the roles they've learned to perform. After years of building a successful corporate leadership career while navigating motherhood and her own personal growth journey, Lauren realized that many women weren't lacking confidence—they had simply become disconnected from themselves. That realization became the foundation of her work. Today, Lauren helps women rediscover their voice, trust themselves again, and create lives, careers, and businesses that reflect who they truly are rather than who they believe they're expected to be. Her coaching blends practical strategy with meaningful self-reflection, empowering women to make aligned decisions with greater clarity, courage, and confidence. Lauren is also the host of Lo's Couch, a podcast where honest conversations about authenticity, identity, self-leadership, motherhood, personal growth, and mindset invite women to feel seen, challenged, and inspired to live more fully as themselves. Through her articles, speaking engagements, and online community, she continues to encourage women to stop shrinking themselves and start taking up space with intention and integrity. Lauren's mission is simple: to help women become unapologetically themselves. She believes authenticity isn't something to achieve—it's something to return to. When women reconnect with who they truly are, they create ripple effects that transform their families, workplaces, communities, and the next generation. Whether she's coaching, writing, speaking, or sitting on the couch with a microphone, Lauren's goal remains the same: to help women live UNMUTED—leading lives defined not by expectation, but by authenticity.
