Your brain doesn’t care what you want—it cares if you’re safe. That single insight reshaped how I build, lead, and serve. It’s the spark behind my recent biggest breakthrough - from collecting strategies to creating safety, alignment, and freedom. 

And realising that my purpose is to help other impact-driven women founders do the same. To show them that you can be wildly successful and deeply fulfilled.

Understand how safety becomes the foundation for clear thinking and clean decisions, especially when success on the outside hides chaos on the inside. 

I share my journey from overwhelm to overflow in the business and really powerful questions that brought radical clarity and outline the simple engine of overflow: align, automate, and appreciate. 

Plus all of my “ego deaths,” along the way of reframing my purpose as service, not sacrifice.

This is a love letter to founders who already have clients and revenue, but want ease, space, and a business that runs on purpose instead of panic. Discover the power of leading by example, choosing depth over breadth, and making moves without waiting for a grand rebrand. 

If you’re craving clarity, conviction, and a path that lets your work feel like freedom again, you’ll feel right at home here.

What if everything you believed about happiness was actually keeping you stuck in unhappiness? 

In this profound conversation, Jessie Whelan opens up about her decade-long healing journey and the big A-HA moment that transformed her relationship with herself.

After years of trying to understand, analyze, and "fix" her emotions, Jessie discovered a liberating truth: you don't need a reason for feeling. This simple yet powerful insight marked a turning point in her recovery from anxiety, panic attacks, and grief. 

As both a coach and Reiki practitioner, Jessie had all the tools to help others, yet found herself struggling with her own mental health - a common experience that many practitioners hide behind a mask of perfection.

Through their chats, Claire and Jessie dismantle the toxic belief that healing has an endpoint. They explore how our culture's obsession with happiness creates unnecessary suffering, and how the self-improvement industry profits from our feelings of inadequacy. The solution? Radical and revolutionary self-acceptance.

The most transformative part of this powerful conversation is when they discuss emotions as intelligence rather than inconveniences. Both women share their experiences of rationalizing feelings instead of experiencing them - a defense mechanism that keeps us stuck in our heads. 

In this episode you will learn

• Understand that emotions don't need reasons 
• How healing comes not from fixing yourself but accepting yourself
• Why emotions are not inconveniences to be fixed but intelligence to be listened to
• The power of making your mess becomes your message 
• How to build capacity for uncomfortable emotions
• Breaking free from the "happiness trap" to find peace 
• Remembering that you are not your thoughts and emotions - you are the awareness behind them

By learning to treat emotions like weather passing through the sky of awareness, we develop the capacity to stay grounded in peace, no matter we're feeling.

For anyone who's ever felt broken, weak, or ashamed of their struggles - this conversation is a lifeline of compassion and wisdom. You are not your thoughts or emotions. You are so much stronger than you realize. And in embracing all parts of yourself, without judgment, you discover not just healing, but wholeness.

This is Jessie's journey from obsessive self-improvement to complete self acceptance!!

Have you ever felt exhausted from trying to always be the best? That exhaustion isn't just fatigue—it's a symptom of something deeper. 

Today's episode is all about the trap of chasing external success while neglecting internal wellbeing. If you're always chasing the next big thing but never feeling satisfied - this episode is for you!

High achievement should feel fulfilling, not empty. Yet so many successful women find themselves caught in a paradox—outwardly excelling while inwardly exhausted. 

This episode reveals a powerful client transformation journey from chronic burnout to real balance. We explore how success that comes at the cost of your health and happiness isn't true success at all. You'll discover why high achievers often develop a fear of slowing down, constantly chasing the next big goal while never being able to really enjoy their accomplishments. 

We dive deep into the three essential elements for achieving with more ease and flow: rewiring your subconscious beliefs about self-worth, mastering emotional self-regulation to release fears rather than be driven by them, and implementing simple daily systems that reduce stress while maximizing your happiness. 

In today's episode you'll learn

• how the fear of slowing down keeps high achievers stuck in survival mode
• why living for external validation creates a cycle that never satisfies
• why transforming your relationship with success requires addressing thoughts, emotions, and actions
• how to create radical self-worth by rewiring subconscious beliefs 
• the bedtime bliss practice that helps break addiction to external validation
• the importance of emotional safety for sustainable success
• simple daily systems that reduce stress and create space for more happiness and more of what truly matters

Most importantly, you'll learn why building a life you don't need to escape from is the ultimate success. Every day spent in survival mode reinforces harmful beliefs about your self-worth, but it doesn't have to be this way. Your needs matter, your wellbeing matters, and you deserve to feel calm, content and in control without sacrificing your success.

Have you ever felt completely drained from trying to be everything to everyone? That exhaustion isn't just fatigue—it's a symptom of something deeper.

After taking a much-needed break to focus on my own healing journey, I've returned with powerful insights about the guilt we feel when putting ourselves first. The martyr mindset—believing we're more lovable when we're constantly doing for others—is actually a losing game that leaves us running on empty.

What's truly fascinating is discovering that this people-pleasing, overachieving behavior isn't actually the problem—it's a solution we've created to address a deeper wound. At the core lies a belief that love must be earned, that our worth is tied to our achievements rather than our existence. 

The path forward isn't about becoming more disciplined with self-care; it's about healing the belief that you must prove your worthiness. Love isn't a feeling—it's trust and respect built through time and attention. When you prioritize yourself, you begin building that relationship with yourself first, giving from a place of overflow rather than overwhelm.

You have everything you've ever wanted—the career, the house, the relationship—yet feel like it's never enough, as if something is still missing. 

This constant feeling of "never enough" isn't a lack of gratitude. It stems from a deeper issue: outsourcing your worth to external validation.

When your entire sense of value is tied to what you achieve and how others perceive you, you're caught in an endless chase for more. 

Our sense of worth often comes from external validation, leading to a cycle where no achievement ever feels enough and the constant need to prove ourselves prevents genuine peace and contentment.

High-achieving women often present a flawless exterior while internally drowning in anxiety, unable to slow down or truly enjoy their accomplishments. 

This pattern typically begins in childhood when we're praised primarily for performance or self-sacrifice, creating a dependency on external approval that becomes nearly impossible to satisfy later in life.

This episode explores the profound difference between achievement-based success and enjoyment-based success, offering practical tools to break free from external validation addiction. 

Learn why "being everything to everyone else" is actually self-abandonment, not virtue, and discover simple daily practices that build internal validation and reduce dependency on outside approval.

If you're tired of living life like a checklist and ready to experience genuine peace that no achievement can provide, this episode will help you reconnect with your inherent worthiness. 

In today's episode we cover:

• High-achievers often appear successful on the outside while battling internal stress and anxiety
• Self-worth becomes tied to achievement when raised on praise for performance and people-pleasing
• The "martyr mindset" creates a cycle of self-abandonment that feels positive but leads to burnout
• True worth comes from who you are, not what you do
• Success should be measured by enjoyment, not achievement
• Daily journaling on wins helps build self-validation and reduces dependency on external approval
• Shifting from "milestone living" to "moment living" changes how you experience your life
• High achievers often struggle with hyper-independence, seeing asking for help as weakness

Success isn't about ticking boxes; it's about living fully in each moment. 

Remember: your only goal in life is to enjoy it, and you're already enough exactly as you are.

If you're exhausted from constantly worrying about what others think of you - you're not alone. 

For high achievers especially, external validation can become an all consuming addiction – the more you receive praise, the more you need. 

This relentless pursuit for more leaves you perpetually empty, no matter how much you achieve.

I spent three decades trying to get others to like me, chasing validation through achievements and approval. 

Every time I reached a goal, I immediately needed something bigger – from teaching to department head, from my first 10K month to 20K. 

But with every achievement, the happiness was only ever fleeting, and I remained trapped in the belief that I simply wasn't enough exactly as I am.

The breakthrough came when I realized a fundamental truth: until you're happy with who you are, you'll never be happy with what you have. 

True contentment isn't found in big achievements or others' approval – it's found in the present moment, in what I call "finding bliss in the basics."

This episode explores the powerful shift from proving your worth to prioritizing your well-being. 

You'll discover why caring more about being respected than being liked changes everything, and how self-respect must come first. 

In this powerful episode, you'll learn:

• The self-worth trap: why constantly proving your worth through achievements and approval only feeds feelings of not being enough

• Why high achievers become addicted to praise and how this addiction is never satisfied

• My three word mantra that helps you stay in your purpose, peace and power

• Why happiness comes from who you are, not what you have or achieve

• How to actually built self-trust and respect, simply and sustainably

• Why self-acceptance beats self-improvement every day of the week

When you stop outsourcing your happiness, confidence, and self-worth and start living from the inside out, you experience freedom, confidence and peace that no achievement or validation could ever even come close to.

Ready to live with less stress, more happiness and success?

If you find yourself functioning but feeling completely disconnected, getting through the day but not really feeling anything – like a robot on autopilot, today's episode is for you! 

That's what I call being a "productivity zombie," and it's the direct result of living too long in survival mode.

The productivity paradox is real, and it's keeping you stuck in a cycle of stress, burnout, and diminishing returns. 

In today's episode we explore the productivity paradox and how to transform from a productivity zombie into someone who performs at their best by doing less. 

The conversation reveals how surviving in chronic stress leads to functional freeze and disconnection from joy, and provides a clear path to reclaiming energy, focus, and self-worth.

In today's episode you'll learn:

• The functions of the four stress responses: fight, flight, fawn, and freeze
• How "flight mode" (constant busyness) leads to "functional freeze"
• The ways you're treating yourself abusively through impossible standards
• Break the cycle of swinging between perfectionism and procrastination
• Separating your worth from your output by doing simple daily wins
• How to create proactive systems with realistic expectations 
• Prioritizing intentional rest as a high-performance strategy, not just a reward
• Learning to get your worth from within instead of external validation

After a transformative six-month break, I return with buckets more clarity and purpose, sharing my journey from exhausted to empowered following my live event last September. 

I'm now operating from overflow rather than depletion, having spent time healing, growing, and establishing sustainable practices that prioritize my wellbeing over work.

In today's episode I talk about:

• Busy is a drug and burnout is the comedown—we chase the high of productivity at the cost of our health
• "Disordered doing" happens when productivity becomes compulsive, similar to other addictive behaviors
• The benefit of busyness (feeling accomplished) doesn't outweigh the cost (exhaustion and burnout)
• Life is not a to-do list—there's no award at the end for completing everything
• Consistency is more important than intensity—one task completed daily beats sporadic bursts of productivity
• Nothing is worth sacrificing your wellbeing—not your job, achievements, or relationships
• True success comes from self-mastery (managing thoughts, emotions, actions) not self-sacrifice
• The Three to Thrive method: three wellness rituals, three work priorities, three happiness habits daily
• Productivity isn't about doing more—it's about doing the right things efficiently
• Stop proving your worth and start prioritizing yourself—give from overflow, not overwhelm
