In this episode, host Koushi sit down with the incredible Claire E. Parsons — a Cincinnati lawyer, mindfulness teacher, and mum of two — for a real and honest chat about life behind the titles.

Claire opens up about her journey through post-partum depression, the pressure of high-stakes legal work, and how meditation completely changed the way she handled life's curveballs.

We talk about what she calls "empathic overwhelm" (a softer, truer way of looking at compassion fatigue), the power of self-compassion, and why it's just as important to reach in as it is to reach out for support. This is a heartfelt conversation about resilience, motherhood, mental health, and the small, steady practices that help you find your calm — even in the most chaotic seasons.
