Welcome back to another episode of create a new tomorrow. I'm your host Ari Gronich. And today I have with me Claudia garbutt, all the way from Germany. She is a molecular biologist turned mindset coach for ambitious mission driven entrepreneurs who want to shatter invisible ceilings and create more inner peace, income and impact without sacrificing their health relationships or happiness. Welcome, Claudia, why don't you tell us a little bit more about you? And how, how you became a molecular biologist turn mindset coach. I mean, you know, this is this takes some explanation.

Claudia Garbutt 0:53  

says, Well, hello, and thank you so much for having me. And yeah, so this, this story is a little bit like, like a criss cross. So I never thought I would be an entrepreneur, I was no one of those people who knew exactly that they wanted to become an entrepreneur. So I really surprised myself here. also kind of ironic, because the thing that I hated most growing up was public speaking, especially in English. And here we are. So how do we get there? Well, after I finished university, all I wanted to do was this half as nice, comfortable job that was fulfilling, but paid well. And that left me enough time to enjoy my life. But guess what, as it turns out, it wasn't that easy to find a job like that. And I studied biology because I was driven by my curiosity, I wanted to understand how life works on every level. And this is still one of my major driving forces for my curiosity, I guess.

But I've shifted my focus slightly. So I've had a couple of key experiences that's slowly but steadily shifted my direction and my focus. So the first one was definitely when I got diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 28. And this pretty much turned my life upside down from one day to the next. And I still very clearly remember my first reaction to that diagnosis, which strange as it may sound, was a sense of relief. And that was weird, right? Because at that point, I mean, who gets the diagnosis of a potentially deadly illness and things, huh. At that point in my life, I was just suffering from a major burnout. And being sick finally gave me the break that I was looking for. And to understand that, you have to know that I grew up in a family where everyone was always busy and working very, very hard. And you didn't just take a break, you know, breaks were for the lazy for the elderly, or well for the sick. And so I finally had the right excuse. If you want to take a break without feeling guilty about it, at least if you want to call going through chemotherapy a break. And it sounds so weird when I say that out. But that's often the case, when you talk about the things that hold us back from doing the sensible things, right. They make perfect sense in our heads. But when we actually talk about them, they sound ridiculous.

Ari Gronich 3:37  

You know, it's funny, because I would have from like age seven to 24, I would have died for a proper diagnosis, I would have, I would have been so happy that I got a proper diagnosis instead of you know, the years of not knowing what the symptoms were not knowing why they were not knowing how to fix them. So I totally understand, you know, the sigh of relief, when you actually know something is actually wrong with me. I'm not just making it up in my head. It's an actual thing. And now I can do something about that actual thing versus just, you know, throwing darts on a dartboard trying to figure it out. So I totally get that. But yeah, the most probably not a lot of fun.

Claudia Garbutt 4:32  

No, it wasn't. It wasn't fun at all. But it made me aware of the pattern that I was stuck in. And I think probably for the first time in my entire life. I just really had the time to think about things and I started to really question those beliefs that I grew up with. Like was it really necessary to work 24 seven, or is struggled noble or do I really have to fulfill everything anyone else's expectations. And it's just when you have something like a near death experience, this changes a lot, right? Suddenly you start quest, start asking the right questions, the ones that are really important, like, do I like my life right now? Or do I like the direction in which I'm going? Or what would I actually what would I regret regret not having done if I died right now?

Ari Gronich 5:27  

Yeah, I think the audience can, could relate to that. I think that, that probably 99.99999% of all human beings have things that they absolutely know they should be doing, and yet can't get themselves to do any of them.

Claudia Garbutt 5:47  

Yeah, it's, it's so easy to fall back into old habits, especially when you're stressed and you don't pay close attention. So I knew that at that point in my life, I needed to leave a toxic work environment, I needed to leave a toxic relationship. And I wanted to do, I wanted to find something that fulfills me. So I just for myself, I knew that in order to beat the cancer, I had to define those goals, and I had to take action. And that's what I did. So as soon as I got out of the hospital, I started to slowly but surely break up that toxic relationship. So I left the toxic work environment. And then I applied for a scholarship at the end of the world, in New Zealand. So I went to the other side of the world, I left everything behind, and I basically started a new chapter in my life, but then it was still You can't leave yourself behind. And then when you get to that place, and you think you have done so much, you get stressed again, and you fall back into old habits,

Ari Gronich 6:57  

it's really hard to to distinguish who we are from what we do. You know, like, I noticed that when when anybody really introduces themselves when you say Who are you? I am a chiropractor, I am a you know, therapist, I am a construction worker, it's never I am this, I am me, who does this thing, right? It's always I am that. So, you know, maybe that's part of what makes it so difficult to shift is the identity that that you place within that, you know,

Claudia Garbutt 7:34  

absolutely, like shedding your old skin or like, something like that, it's and you don't know, you're vulnerable, you don't know what's coming next. It was it was really, it was quite terrifying, to be honest. And the conclusion I finally reached was that the best option for me would be to build my own online business, because it allowed me to work flexible hours, and I would be location independent. And because my husband is from New Zealand, and we still he still has all his family on that side of the planet. And we moved back to Germany, so we were never quite sure where we would end up. Just having this flexibility is huge.

Ari Gronich 8:19  

That's, that's awesome. So let me ask you a few questions. I'm gonna I'm going to take this in weird directions probably so and just just letting you know, that that we might go off on some interesting tangents, but biology of, say a virus, right? We've kind of gotten to the place where we we've accepted in science that viruses are not alive. They're not living things. So how does a virus attack an immune system? If it's not living? Because most things that attack us are the things that are living? And have you heard the theory that viruses are all exosomes that are just part of our body anyway. And so I'm just kind of, I just wanted to, like said it's off on a little bit of a tangent, but I just wanted to check to see what what your thought is on that.

Claudia Garbutt 9:32  

I never heard of that. And I've also never really thought about it. So good question. I think the way it works is because we all have like DNA is sort of so the genetic code works universally. So if they if the virus attacks itself, it inserts its its genetic material, and if it's active inside yourself Well, then it's translated into proteins. And that starts a whole cascade. So it doesn't really have to be a living organism. But if you think about your genetic code as a

Ari Gronich 10:10  

book, it basically inserts a chapter into this book, in such a mode of fear these days, because they don't understand because nobody is actually telling them the truth of what these things are. And so like, like, mindset, becomes this mindset of fear, this mindset of lack this mindset of isolation, rather than a mindset of I know what's happening, and I know the kind of the timeline that it's going to take for this to go. And, you know, there's not a lot of logic going on with, with people's experience of what's happening now, including, especially the news and media and all that stuff. And so I'm just kind of, like, how do we match because one to match the fear with reality, right? and lack of fear with reality. So this is just a way to, to bring that mindset into the molecular biology a little bit and what's going on right now. Because you've had to pivot quite a bit, I think, since this whole pandemic, right?

Claudia Garbutt 11:17  

Yeah, I've never worked with viruses. I've worked with bacteria, a lot of work with human cell lines and animal cell lines and that kind of stuff. I've worked on projects that were so it was basic research, or the last project I worked on was basic reach research into neurodegenerative diseases and figuring out what's going on in diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and that kind of stuff. So that was my area of research, or medical interactions between medic different medicines. So if you have an adverse drug reaction between different drugs, that kind of thing. So it was quite a shift.

Ari Gronich 12:07  

Absolutely. So you've moved into this world of, as we talked about earlier, homeschooling your kids, and doing this online thing. So give us kind of like, what's been your year like, in a nutshell, like, what's, what's this transition look like? And then what is the mindset that you had to have in order to do this whole mess without, like, pulling your hair out? Because you already had the chemo? So you know, you didn't want the hair out? So I just had it, how did you get through all of this with a mindset that, that you have, which is so positive, and I mean, you know, anybody who's talking to you or watching this right now can see in your eyes, the amount of joy that you exude in what you're doing? So,

Claudia Garbutt 13:02  

questions, I think when it all started last year, I was exactly at the point where I had just figured out exactly what I wanted to do and an offer, like, I had finally found what I wanted to do, and then the pandemic hit. Okay, is it wise to start all this right now at this point in time? And then I thought, Why? What do I have to lose? There's nothing I have to lose. So why don't go one go for it. And the last year has been really, really crazy, because we also started a huge side project. So a friend of ours, and so my husband and a friend of us. Together, we bought this huge three story house. It's an old house, and we've been remodeling to turn it into three flats. Well, anyway, it's a huge project, a huge renovation project. And it all happened at the same time. So we started homeschooling, we started this building project on the side, I started building my business. And then I also started building my podcast. So it was all happening in the same time. And had you asked me before, if it was possible, to do all that, while at the same time, still go for a run every day have some time to like alone time for my sanity, I would have said No way.

Ari Gronich 14:27  

Anything else that you'd like to share? We were going to wrap this up because I know you've got to go. But anything else that you'd like to quickly share anything that you're doing in the world that you'd like to share with people?

Claudia Garbutt 14:43  

Well, maybe the last thing I like to share today as if it scares you. It might be a good thing to try. I can't remember if who said that, but I've found that to be very, very true. If it scares you, it might be a good thing too. Try because it gets you outside of your current comfort zone. And when you get outside of your current comfort zone, great things happen. Because if you keep, keep being stuck and inside this stone and you keep doing what you've been doing all the time, you've, you will keep getting what you've always gotten. And that might not be what you want to get. So if you want to change that, try the things that scare you.
