ABOUT THE HOST
Anthea McCourtie is a registered nutritional therapist (BSc, mBANT, CNHC), personal trainer, yoga teacher and a transformation coach, helping women to unleash their power and confidence from the inside out.
After spending her teens and twenties unhappily immersed in diet culture, Anthea learnt how to switch her focus on nourishment and health. Nutritional therapy and a love for food has provided exciting opportunities, including healthy recipe creation and videos for a celebrity nutrition range published in a national newspaper.
Taking up martial arts (BJJ, Muay Thai and MMA) and later climbing and pole fitness, Anthea learned how to appreciate her body for what it could do, and she carries this passion and sense of empowerment into her coaching sessions and membership group.

Escaping The Cycle Of Domestic Abuse - with Anne Hellgren
Anthea is joined by Anne Hellgren, a certified coach and relationship expert, as well as board member of Tavistock Relationships, and the host of the hit podcast The Love You Want.
Anne joins Anthea to discuss her own experiences with domestic abuse and how she escaped the terrifying cycle of abuse she suffered at the hands of her partners, as well as her work and how she helps others to gain and maintain meaningful, empowering relationships.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
People sometimes suffer domestic abuse in silence because they are afraid to talk about the things that matter. If we don't vocalise, then we cannot hope to heal effectively.
Escaping domestic abuse is not an easy thing. Often we are so conditioned by the time it begins that our initial reaction to its appearance is a loss of hope and a feeling of being trapped.
Cultures often dictate that women are meant to be subservient to their spouses. Submission is taught, and normalised. This needs to change.
Change has to begin within ourselves if we want it to take root. Start by loving yourself, which will make abuse a crime against someone we come to care for.
BEST MOMENTS
'Unless we have these conversations, these things keep happening behind closed doors'
'I was experiencing a mix of horror, shock and pain'
'There's a whole complexity of issues going on around it'
'I am worth more, and I will not accept this kind of behaviour'

Energy Drains
In her work as a transformational coach and nutritional therapist, Anthea specialises in helping women to gain more energy. But it's also vital to make sure that we keep that energy once we have it, and avoid energy drains that can sap the vitality from us. In this episode, Anthea discusses the many factors that can rob us of energy and what we can do to avoid them.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Clutter can lead to a loss of focus. It's nice to make areas personalised, but too much can dilute the attention we give to things that matter.
Emails flood in all day long, especially if our work mails are linked with the personal. Try to have designated email times, or you might waste too much time.
Social media is a great tool, but you have to use it in the correct measure. Be aware when you're falling down a rabbit hole, and don't get too caught up in negative opinions that can derail your mood.
BEST MOMENTS
'I hate being in clutter. It's not only time consuming but a major distraction'
'My phone is constantly in my hand and I am trying to minimise that'
'We've created a culture where we feel the need to be accessible constantly'

Gina Miller On Taking Real Action, And The Power Of Curiosity
Gina Miller is a renowned businesswoman, entrepreneur, politician and activist, best known for acting as the defender of our representative parliamentary democracy, having twice defeated the Conservative government in its unlawful attempts to bypass Parliament to implement Brexit.
Gina joins Anthea to talk about what it means to take real action in the hopes of creating lasting impact and change, the most effective means of communicating ideas to the world, and the fascinating story of how she came to be where she is today.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We must live life to the fullest each and every day. The worst tragedy would be to reach our final day on earth holding onto regrets for not having tasted all that life has to offer.
Society dictates what we’re meant not to do, but it rarely instils a sense of what we can achieve if we work hard enough.
It’s fine to act on things that we’re passionate about, but we should always endeavour to get our point across with grace and dignity.
Academic pursuits are necessary for many aspects of life, but they’re not all that matters. Creativity, emotion and artistic expression are vital in creating fully rounded human beings.
BEST MOMENTS
‘My family say I’m an accident waiting to happen – you never know where I’m going to explode next’
‘I don’t want to get old and regret what I didn’t do’
‘Always try and act with grace and dignity’
‘There are things you have to learn, but it’s not all about academia’
