Raw & Real with Clare Garner | With Women Who Are Doing The Damn Thing

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your purpose isn’t something you go hunting for. You are the purpose.

And yet, so many high-achieving women stay stuck in the spiral of “why,” endlessly trying to figure it all out in their heads instead of letting their body lead.

In this episode of the Raw & Real Podcast, I sit down with embodiment mentor and yoga teacher Shauna Hawkes to unpack what it really means to live from alignment instead of performance. From her story of leaving the States for love and building a new life in Australia, to her deep work with the Gene Keys and women’s embodiment, we explore:

✨ How trauma and triggers can become your greatest teachers
✨ Why overthinking keeps your message flat and your brand invisible
✨ The link between sister wounds, self-trust, and showing up fully online
✨ Practical ways to drop out of your head and into your body so your clients feel you

If you’ve ever struggled to “find your purpose,” or wondered why your online content doesn’t carry the same potency your clients feel behind the scenes, this is your permission slip to strip back the layers and embody who you already are.

This wasn’t the episode I planned to record today.
But it’s the one I had to share.

Because if I’m going to lead women into true liberation, I can’t only show you the highlight reel. I have to show you the middle of the story — the part where the shame, the doubt, and the “fuck, have I bitten off more than I can chew?” energy is loud… and I choose to move anyway.

In this episode, I’m bringing you behind the scenes of what it really takes to build Real & Raw Liberation Austin — as a single mum, on the other side of the world, with more passion than polished plans.

You’ll hear:

• The duality I’m holding (wild excitement + real fear)

• What no one talks about when creating iconic events

• The unfiltered truth about toilets, sponsors, and sacred vision

• How I lead myself through the “how the fuck is this going to work?” days

• Why this isn’t just another business event… it’s a movement

This isn’t a pep talk.
It’s a permission slip.
For you to be fully human and fully in your power — at the exact same time.

Let’s build the revolution - together.

In this real & raw convo, I’m joined by Heather McNally, one of my MIRROR Mini-Mind clients and a headline speaker for Real & Raw Liberation, Austin.

We dive into what it really means to lead beyond the BS (belief systems + the other kind),

& turning lived experience into liberated leadership.

We talk domestic-violence survival to self-authority, trusting full-body YES’s, human design nudges (hello, MGs + emotional waves), building a personal brand that’s you (not a performance), and why messy reps on live video are the fastest way to confidence, connection, and clients.

Heather shares her new multi-author book ‘Rise’ and the audacity it took to put her voice on the page - and the stage.

If you’re a woman entrepreneur craving deeper visibility, storytelling that converts, and a sisterhood that holds you while you go bigger - this one’s for you. 🔥

Come meet us in person at Real & Raw LiberationAustin, Feb 6–7, 2026 on Lake Travis.

This episode was recorded before Real & Raw LIVE London, yet the conversation with Natalie is too potent not to share. We dive into everything from parenting and conscious leadership, to women’s circles, crystals, sex, surrender, and the messy middle we’re all navigating. You’ll hear the real story behind why I scrapped my first podcast, what birthed Raw & Real, and how following desire (not control) completely shifted my business, motherhood, and relationships. If you’re craving connection, authenticity, and liberation—this one’s for you. 🎙️

✨ And if this resonates—come experience it LIVE. Join us at Real & Raw Liberation, Austin, Feb 6–7th 2026 for two days that will change how you lead, love, and live. Your seat is waiting.

I invited Amanda Graham onto the pod and we went all in on audacity, authenticity, and unlearning performative “professionalism.”

We bust the myth that success requires polish and big followings, and instead double down on service over vanity metrics, unscripted truth over scripted perfection, and nervous-system-safe growth over ego timelines.

We talk gatekeepers (and how to swerve them), the fine line between audacity vs. ego, reclaiming “selfish” as discernment, and why failure is the portal to your most aligned pivots.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to be TED-level polished, this convo will give you permission to unperform, unlock, and let your real voice lead.

Come play in person:
If this hit, you’ll love Real & Raw: Liberation — Austin. Think retreat-meets-talks: two days of high-calibre sisterhood, lakeside mansion vibes, unscripted stages, and the purest kind of networking (by the pool).

This episode lit me all the way up baby!

I sat down with the amazing Laura Johnson—multi-passionate entrepreneur, bra industry disruptor, and improv queen—and we went ALL the way in on what it actually takes to walk away from corporate, go all-in on your dream, and build a business that feels like you.

We riffed on spirituality, frequency, self-expression (yes, her hair matches our brand colours 👀✨), and the liberation that comes when you finally stop performing and start showing up raw, real, and unapologetic.

Laura’s new improv-for-business venture is GOLD, and I know so many of you listening are going to feel the fire of permission in this conversation.

And babe - if this hits, imagine this energy in person.

That’s exactly what’s going down at Real & Raw Liberation Austin—two full days in a private lakeside mansion, pool parties, powerhouse speakers, and a movement that will change how you lead forever. Early bird tickets are live right now at phoenix-rise.co.uk

Join us there...

What happens when two women who’ve never met drop the scripts, throw out the questions, and meet in pure presence? You get this fire-filled, soul-expanding conversation with the incredible Summer Roshni Bhullar.

We dive into:
✨ Trusting the process while still taking aligned action
✨ The illusion of “the right way” and how to collapse time instead
✨ Why art, creativity, and expression are at the center of our power
✨ Breaking generational cycles + what true strength in womanhood really means

This episode will leave you lit up, reminded of your voice, and ready to claim your place in the world without apology.

Because liberation isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you choose—now.

In this Raw and Real episode, I sit down with the incredible Blanka from Awarenest to have an unapologetically honest conversation about the tightrope walk between being a devoted mother and a driven entrepreneur. We go deep into the messy middle — the mom guilt, the self-doubt, the societal pressure to “do it all” — and the inner fire that refuses to dim, no matter how full life already feels.

Blanka shares her journey of building a purpose-led business while raising a family, the moments she’s wrestled with guilt, and the mindset shifts that have allowed her to embrace her ambition without losing herself. We unpack practical strategies for setting boundaries, protecting your energy, and redefining success on your own terms.

If you’re a mother with big dreams (and a to-do list a mile long), this episode is your permission slip to own your ambition, drop the shame, and create a life where motherhood and entrepreneurship can co-exist — powerfully.

And if you're ready to join us at our next Real & raw event be sure to grab your tickets to Austin right now. Feb 6/7th 2026.

Recorded a few months before Real & Raw Live London, this episode is like cracking open my brain and letting you see exactly how I was thinking, feeling, and moving before the event even happened. Spoiler alert — we’re now on the other side, it was everything I dreamed of and more, and we are officially gearing up for Austin, Texas in February!

I sit down with the amazing Lindsay Dollinger and we go all in on the real conversations about hosting events — the numbers, the nerves, the mindset wobbles, the costs that spiral, and the moments that make it all worth it. We talk retreats vs large-scale events, sponsors, swag bags, premium intimacy vs chasing big crowds, and why both of us are building our visions without a proven “how-to” guide.

If you’ve ever wanted to peek behind the glossy highlight reel and hear exactly what it takes to create transformational in-person experiences — and why sometimes 7 people in a room can change your life more than 700 — this one’s for you.

Now that I’ve lived through it, I can tell you: the magic is real… and Austin is next.

You can’t fake embodiment. You can’t trick frequency. And you damn sure can’t lead from a place you haven’t walked through yourself.

This raw + real conversation with Human Design expert and soul-led entrepreneur Lauren Ashley hits different. We unpack:
🌀 Holding your power while the chaos of life swirls
📦 Packing houses + hosting summits at the same time (yes, really)
📍 What really happens when your energy centers are overloaded
🧬 Human Design, undefined Ajna, and how to stop doubting your voice
🔥 Why “alignment” isn’t a mood—it’s a muscle
🎤 The truth behind why Real & Raw was created (and why it’s not about speaking at all)

We also riff on what it means to lead the New Earth from the inside out—through motherhood, moves, scarcity spirals, and soul conviction.
This isn’t just a conversation. It’s a reclamation.
