  • Are you Letting Your Past Dictate Your Future?

    Friend hello!

    Consider how past family stories may be shaping your present and future. What if you challenged your beliefs such as…“I’ve never been able to,” “I’m just like my mother,” or “people like us can’t be healthy,” because: repeating these narratives keeps your past active in the mind creating the same repeated outcome.

    Your mind is programmed daily. Given this: change is possible even after many years, though not overnight.

    Join me and listen in to this weeks Say YES to YOU podcast, and because it’s hard to get there on your own. I invite you to take advantage of a 1:1 “Say Yes To You” https://bit.ly/SayYEStoYOU consult to help identify stories you may not be able to see clearly on your own.

    Look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments.

    With love,

  • Where's fun on your list?

    Friend hello!

    Giving yourself permission to have fun?

    Or are you getting caught up in: lists, things to do, people who need you, goings on in the world, you have to keep track of?

    Because when I first start working with clients I notice it’s frequently thrown out the window for “the more important things they’re getting done’.

    But they’re also reporting how low their joy is:(- if this’s you too, I hope you’ll listen in and discover another way. How you can add more fun/joy to your life with very little needing to change!

    My friend, if you’ve not said YES to YOU join me for a 1:1 conversation and YOU back on your calendar free of the guilt (you may secretly be holding onto).

    Get yours here now before it’s too late.

    With love,

  • Want to Have Peace Every Day

    How to Have Peace Every Day (Without a Vacation or a Desert Island)

    Claudia Braun welcomes viewers to “Say Yes to You and Why You Don’t,” sharing her background as a mindset, lifestyle, and EFT coach for women who often say yes to others but want to start saying yes to themselves.

    What would it take to experience real daily peace without needing a vacation, retreat, or time away from everyone, how much peace have you felt recently? As you connect to your physical costs of living at a constant “five or six” of stress, you’ll understand the power daily peace can offer.

    Claudia explains how a single thought or trigger can hijack the mind, create anxiety in the body, and lead to distraction, over-scrolling, overeating, and poor decisions, emphasizing awareness, slowing down, and tracing back where peace was lost. Using a pottery centering metaphor, she encourages releasing attachment to how things “should” be, choosing acceptance, softening toward yourself, doing your part, stepping back, and practicing peace—access meditation for stressful times to assist you. meditationforstressfultimes.subscribepage.io

  • Step 3 for lasting change...

    Step 3: Taking Action That Actually Creates Lasting Change (Awareness + Acceptance + Action)

    Claudia Braun wraps up her three-step process for creating change—awareness, acceptance, and action—explaining that many people struggle with action because they skip the first two steps and end up taking reactive steps that fizzle or lead to unwanted results. She contrasts reactivity with responding, emphasizing that acceptance leads to surrender, reduces resistance, and creates the internal pause needed for clear, inspired, laser-focused action. Using examples like emotional eating and dealing with difficult coworkers, she shows how pausing, reflecting, and sometimes choosing to do nothing can prevent old patterns and diffuse conflict. She reminds listeners that all three “A’s” are required for long-lasting change and invites women who often say yes to others to book time with her for a deeper conversation on applying these steps for clearer results, peace, and happiness.
