Jacinta McDonell

Jacinta McDonell is a catalyst for personal growth and a guide for those seeking to live a more authentic, purpose-driven life. 

Jacinta launched the US franchise, Anytime Fitness, into the Australian market in 2008, growing it to become Australia's number one health club chain before exiting in 2017.

In the years since, Jacinta has turned her entrepreneurial passion towards supporting others, coaching fellow founders to grow and scale their businesses through A Founder’s Path, and launching her latest venture, Brave Spaces, to provide transformative programs and experiences to empower individuals to lead more purposeful and authentic lives. 

From spending time in small rural villages in Malawi with The Hunger Project to Necker Island with Richard Branson and the Virgin Unite team, Jacinta draws on her rebellious spirit and courage to challenge societal expectations to help individuals cultivate self-awareness and clarity, break free from limiting constraints and embrace their unique paths.

Jacinta is also a dedicated mother of 3, proud advocate of yoga, a meditation teacher, and a national board member of The Hunger Project, an organisation that funds life changing projects in Africa, India and Bangladesh.
