41. So You Wanna Build a Soul-Led Business? The emotional reality nobody talks about - with Mark Dallimore

So you wanna build a soul-led business? Everyone talks about the freedom, alignment and sense of purpose... Far fewer people talk about the emotional reality of it -- when your "soul-aligned" business asks you to do things that feel soul-crushing... In this deeply honest conversation, Mark Dallimore and I talk about what really happens when you stop hiding and start building your dream soul-aligned personal brand online business.

40. Trauma Beyond the Obvious: Blending Science, Spirituality, Body & Brain — with holistic psychologist Belu

In this raw and unfiltered episode, I sit down with holistic psychologist Belu for an unscripted conversation about trauma, healing, and what it actually takes to move beyond understanding and into real healing and lasting transformation. This wasn’t meant to be a “proper” podcast interview. We met, saw we had a lot in common, and decided to chat. And at some point, I hit record. What unfolded was an honest and personal conversation between two women who’ve lived trauma, walked their own healing journeys, and now support others in doing the same. In this episode, we explore: * Trauma beyond the obvious — including what didn’t happen, but was supposed to * Why understanding alone don’t lead to healing * Why talk therapy isn't enough * How disconnected we have become from our bodies and why it's a problem * Understanding our childhood, generational patterns, and overachievement * Feminine and masculine energetics — and why so many women are exhausted * Why healing is a journey — unpredictable, nonlinear, and deeply human ⚠️ Listener note: This episode includes discussions of childhood trauma, relational trauma, eating disorders, and emotional neglect. Please listen with care and check in with yourself around timing and capacity. 🌿 About today’s guest Belu is a holistic psychologist who spent many years working strictly within scientific and clinical frameworks — until her own healing journey and spiritual awakening revealed that something essential was missing. Today, her work bridges psychology and spirituality, science and embodiment, and mind and body, with a strong focus on safety, nervous system regulation, and inner child healing.

39. Ayahuasca Integration: A Nervous System-First Conversation on Surrender, Community & “Resting the Interpreter” with Ian LLoyd

Journeying with ayahuasca isn’t just about what happens when you drink it. It’s about what happens before—and especially after. In this episode, I sit down with ⁠⁠Ian Lloyd⁠ ⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/Mr.ian.lloyd]just three months after sharing a couple ceremonies together in Colombia, to unpack the less talked-about part of the medicine path: integration. This isn’t a conversation about spiritual performance or peak experiences. It’s about the tenacity it takes to sit with confusion, tenderness, and truth. Inside, we explore: * How the medicine chose us—not the other way around * What surrender really means, and how to “rest the interpreter” * Why nervous system safety is the foundation of transformation * The tenderness — and sacredness — of confusion * How holding space the right way changes lives * The role of community, co-regulation, and being witnessed * Why your deepest gifts are hidden behind shame—and how to reclaim them Yes, there are medicine stories woven in. But this is about so much more: Walking with integrity, being held in our vulnerability, and trusting the deep intelligence of the body. Enjoyed this episode?

37. You Are Your Purpose—Here’s How to Start Living It with Kirsi Hardy

What if your purpose isn’t something you find—but something you become? In this empowering follow-up to Episode 36, Claire sits down with intuitive coach and energy guide Kirsi Hardy for a raw, honest, and surprisingly practical conversation about how to start actually living your purpose—even if you don’t feel clear, ready, or confident yet. 👉 Haven’t listened to Episode 36 yet? Go check it out first—it’s all about the messy middle, the confusion, the identity unraveling, and the very real frustration of not knowing what your purpose is. This episode picks up right where that one left off—only now, we’re ready to move. Together, we explore: ✨ Why purpose often doesn’t feel easy or obvious ✨ The real reason we resist taking action (hint: it’s not laziness) ✨ What to do when your soul says yes but your ego freaks out ✨ The myth of “clarity before action”—and what actually creates momentum ✨ How karmic patterns and old identities sneakily keep us stuck ✨ Why your purpose may feel terrifying (and how that’s actually a clue) Whether you’re in a career pivot, questioning your next chapter, or simply feeling the pull for something deeper—this episode will remind you that you don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. You are your purpose. Now let’s start walking like it. Recorded in October 2024.
