In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Claire Garber—mindset and energetics coach—who shares her journey of helping individuals cultivate the courage to live authentically.

Claire shares her unique perspective on what it means to live courageously—not as a one-time leap but as an ongoing practice of inner alignment and intentional action. Claire beautifully distinguishes courage from bravery, highlighting its richness, fluidity, and the strength it brings when grounded in self-awareness. We explore the risks of holding back versus the rewards of stepping forward and uncovering our potential.

This episode will leave you reflecting on the role of courage in your life and inspire you to embrace it as a pathway to growth, connection, and creative expression.

Claire also reflects on her personal journey of courage, from navigating external challenges to creating a thriving global community that supports individuals in finding their truth and stepping into their full potential.

During this episode we explore:

* How courage is mostly about sinking deeply into oneself

* The risk of losing ourselves when we avoid taking authentic steps forward

* the difference between courage and bravery

* How dismantling old systems—internally and externally—leads to true connection

And here is the infamous quote by Terence McKenna:
