[Content Warning: In this episode, Claude talks about her extremely dark times while dealing with postpartum depression.]

What does it take to level up for yourself, and not give a f*** about what others think? My guest, Claude Racine-Valinsky knows exactly what this feels like.

Claude Racine, born in Montreal, Canada, is a retired professional dancer & choreographer out of Los Angeles who spent nearly 20 years dancing alongside artists like Jlo, Chris Brown, Tinashe, Avril Lavigne, Erika Jayne, Pussycat Dolls & Carmen Electra, and choreographing for TV shows like Will and Grace, Fuller House and Disney’s Mighty Med.

In 2020, Claude became a mom and suffered from postpartum depression and anxiety and was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Disease. 9 weeks after her baby boy was born, the world turned upside down as COVID took on its wide-spread surge. The entertainment industry was completely shut down and Claude was out of work, making her depression even worse. After a year of searching for a new job and fighting for her mental health, a beauty direct sales opportunity found her and she hurriedly jumped on board.
