Chief Meta Chicks Podcast

Clare Martin is a Transformational Mindset Coach.

Over the past decade, Clare has specialised in helping entrepreneurs master their mindset, maximise their potential and manifest their dream life.

Her mission is to guide clients back to believing in their innate power as a human being, by removing blocks such as the self-doubt, fear, and lack of self-belief and to eradicate resistance to change, on an emotional, mental, and somatic level.

Clare teaches her clients to access unshakable self-confidence and guides clients to use tools that empower them to live a life of more connection, fun, fulfilment, joy and heart led purpose. 

She believes purpose is not an end game, but a daily ritual that we live and manifest through a powerful mindset, heart-centred habits and a purpose-led passion.

This interview covers a number of important topics, including:

• How breathwork can help to release stuck emotions and energy.
• Focusing just on mindset isn’t enough, but understanding the body-mind is crucial for transformation.
• Undertaking breathwork can help entrepreneurs and business owners access flow states, and
• That there is no quick fix, the journey of personal development is ongoing and unique.

Saara Jamieson is the Founder and CEO of Cool Beans Underwear.

Saara studied at The University of Queensland gaining a Bachelor of Science in Animal and Veterinary Bioscience. After university she worked for a Medical Research Institute in the gastroenterology lab studying Colorectal Cancer. She has also co-authored a number of scientific papers on the topic.

After trying to fall pregnant for over three and a half years, and suffering multiple miscarriages, Saara dived into the science and discovered testicular heat was a major factor affecting sperm health, conception and miscarriages.

Saara then embarked on developing men’s underwear to cool her husband Jordan’s beans.

They fell pregnant soon after and now have 2 beautiful healthy children. In the time that followed, Saara was regularly contacted by others struggling to conceive following the recommendations of several fertility doctors.

And so Saara and Jordon decided there was an opportunity to help others with their reproductive health, and Cool Beans was born. In 2021, Cool Beans Underwear was entered into the TGA Register as a medical device and they now have worldwide patents in place for their innovative and brilliant Cool Beans Underwear.

This interview covers a number of important topics, including:

• The impact of testicular heat on sperm health 
• The impact of sperm health on miscarriages and offspring
• The sheer lack of research and awareness of these issues
• The challenges and costs associated with securing worldwide patents, and
• The incredible commitment and resilience required to navigate the highs and lows of the founder's journey.

And thanks to Saara, you can get your hands on some Cool Beans Underwear. Simply head to their website and use the promo code CMC10 at the checkout.

Natalie Moore and Lisa Saunders launched Own Your Health Collective to address the gap in the market around information relating to menstrual cycles, in particular around perimenopause, menopause and post menopause.

This interview covers a number of important topics, including:

• We need to take the taboo and stigma out of talking about menstrual cycles
• The sheer lack of access to appropriate information and education on women's cycles
• How school curriculums need to change to address the significant lack of education around women’s menstrual cycles
• How women are unsupported in the workplace as they undergo hormonal changes, often leading them to leave, and
• That if we don’t see the implementation of mandatory management training on menstrual cycles we will continue to lose senior women in the workplace and have no hope of ever reaching the gender targets of equal representation of women in the C-Suite and on boards.
