For the past thirty years, Beckie Kullberg has guided women of all ages and walks of life to fully understand and embrace self-love. She is a gentle leader who bonds with her clients and provides a safe haven for them to build body confidence and achieve a positive mindset. Her own story of binge-eating and recovery prompted her to create programs and tools to help others succeed in establishing strong self-esteem. Beckie coined the phrase “image nemesis” as she designed the courses “30 Days to Breakup with Binge Eating” and “Body Confidence and Weight Release.” After hiding her secret for years (even her husband didn’t know), Beckie took multiple self-development courses and made the shift to stop the shame and restore optimal health of mind and body. She feels grateful to live in scenic Sonoma County with her husband of eighteen years and her teenage son, where she loves to hike the local trails and connect with nature.

Marianna Penna is a Human Personal Brand Creator, Strategic Marketing Expert, international speaker, podcaster, and Founder & CEO of WOW Women of Worth London, a platform dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs and professionals to build authentic, purpose-driven brands and meaningful legacies. Born in Naples, Italy, Marianna holds a degree in Economics and Commerce and has built a career spanning more than 25 years across Italy and the UK. She began in finance as a Financial Controller for an American multinational before moving into public relations, marketing, and creative leadership, delivering campaigns for international brands in the lifestyle, fashion, food, and professional services sectors. Today, she is also Partner at LEXeFISCAL LLP, a London-based boutique international tax law firm, where she introduced a more human, relationship-led approach to marketing and business development within a traditionally formal profession. In 2021, Marianna founded WOW Women of Worth London after recognising that many talented women struggle not because they lack expertise, but because they struggle to communicate their value with confidence and authenticity. This became the foundation of her Slow Marketing philosophy—an approach that places identity before visibility and relationships before transactions. She is the creator of the Marketing SPA, the Natural Marketing Cycle Guide, and the Brand YOU GemsCraft Journey, proprietary frameworks that help entrepreneurs align who they are with how they communicate, market, and grow their businesses. Marianna is also the co-author of the Amazon bestselling anthology Changemakers (2025), where she introduces personal branding as a "gem to craft" through a seven-step transformational journey. As host of the Entrepreneurial Pulse podcast and creator of the annual WOW Walk The Talk Festival, she brings together entrepreneurs, experts, and thought leaders to explore the intersection of marketing, authenticity, leadership, AI, and the human experience.

Hannah Beko is a leading voice in mental health, well-being, and career development for professional women. With 20 years of experience in the legal profession, Hannah has transformed from a chronically stressed and overwhelmed lawyer running her legal business, into a trusted coach, trainer, and speaker, dedicated to helping professional women navigate the challenges of their careers and families, while maintaining their mental and emotional health. Hannah’s career began in commercial property law in large law firms. After starting her family, the then expectations of women professionals meant there was very little time for her young children and very high stress levels in trying to reach the nursery on time. As a result, Hannah left big law and became self employed growing her commercial property business from 2011. Thoroughly enjoying networking, client and business development, Hannah grew her business steadily until a personal shock in 2015 increased the stress levels significantly. The diagnosis of her father’s cancer, whilst with a positive prognosis, bought on panic attacks and anxiety. Doubt and fear made the working days very long and full of procrastination and short tempers. Realising that chronic stress and burnout were becoming a reality, Hannah sought the advice, coaching and mentorship of her female business owner community and gradually changed her business structure, bringing on more support, learning to say no and to price for her expertise. She also took time to consider her personal version of success and whether the then current business gave her joy and personal satisfaction. In 2016 Hannah founded Authentically Speaking, a coaching and training consultancy with the aim of supporting professionals (and corporate organisations) with stress and burnout advice and support. Since then, she has worked with thousands of professionals globally, online and in person. Through one-on-one coaching, interactive workshops, and online courses, Hannah provides practical tools and personalised guidance to help professionals: • Overcome burnout and manage stress effectively. • Align their careers with their personal values and long-term goals. • Build confidence and combat imposter syndrome. • Develop resilience for lasting success and satisfaction. Her work combines science-backed techniques and actionable strategies. Hannah has a deep understanding and personal knowledge of the challenges of female professionals often juggling a family, their career aspirations, the lower energy levels and challenges of perimenopause and also caring responsibilities. Hannah is a trusted speaker and trainer who has worked within companies, universities local authorities and women’s networks and professional associations to deliver transformative sessions on topics like stress management, resilience, and authentic leadership. Her workshops are praised for their engaging style, actionable content, and ability to create a safe space for participants to reflect and grow. Participants often describe her sessions as “empowering,” “uplifting,” and “life-changing.” One attendee noted, “Hannah’s workshop gave me the tools to focus on my priorities and manage my stress effectively. It was both practical and inspiring.” Another shared, “Hannah’s science-backed tips and interactive approach made for a brilliant learning environment. I’d recommend her workshops to anyone looking to improve their well-being and performance.” Hannah’s passion for authenticity extends to her book, "The Authentic Lawyer," which explores how lawyers can create meaningful careers aligned with their values and aspirations. She encourages her clients and audiences to embrace their unique strengths, let go of perfectionism, and redefine success on their own terms. Through her work, Hannah challenges the traditional culture of the corporate world and advocates for a healthier, more sustainable approach to our high pressure careers - one that prioritises well-being alongside professional excellence. Hannah’s clients and collaborators often highlight her warmth, empathy, and ability to make complex topics accessible and actionable. Testimonials include: • “Hannah’s insights and practical tips have transformed the way I approach my work and life.” • “Her understanding of the pressures faced by professional women is unparalleled. She creates a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported.” • “Hannah’s coaching gave me the confidence to step into leadership and manage my career with clarity and purpose.” Hannah continues to expand her reach through her growing presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, where she shares valuable insights and resources to support professionals worldwide. Her mission remains clear: to empower professionals to thrive, not just survive, in their careers by embracing authenticity, resilience, and balance.   Hannah Beko Executive Contributor Burnout Coach/Trainer for Professionals Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise.

Martin Hargrove embodies what it means to be a hard worker both inside and outside a professional environment. Born and raised in Nevada, he also graduated from the University of Nevada in 2018 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business. Not long after graduation, he decided to embark on an exciting and unpredictable journey as an artist and entertainer, moving to Los Angeles, California. Outside of creating his artwork, Martin enjoys spending time in the gym, chiseling his physique, which he takes great pride in. His motto is “Be the greatest you.” He also loves roller-skating on trails throughout the beautiful city whenever he can, going fast and jam skating with music in his ears.

He understands the power of the subconscious mind and the value of gaining knowledge through different techniques, which have helped him manifest unique experiences and meet incredible people throughout his life and career. Finding balance is important to him, and he takes joy in spending time with friends and family and creating lasting memories. Martin loves to model and act in various entertainment projects. Whether it’s print work, runway shows, modeling competitions, TV shows, or fitness-related shoots, there’s nothing he can’t do. Everything he touches turns to gold, and he carries that unstoppable, larger-than-life persona and mindset with him through every endeavor. His passion for being in front of the camera and capturing the perfect shot drives him to work hard and constantly improve. A true student of his craft, Martin is eager to continue networking and connecting with industry professionals he can learn from while showcasing his talent.
