From Panic Attacks to Speaking in Front of Thousands | Kim Strobel

What does it actually take to go from surviving on $8 an hour to stepping on stages in front of thousands — and earning $15,000 for a single 60-minute keynote? In this episode, Claire sits down with her fourth grade teacher turned internationally known motivational speaker, Kim Strobel, for a deeply personal and wildly inspiring conversation about manifestation, money mindset, and what it really means to bet on yourself. Kim Strobel is an internationally known motivational speaker, author of Teach Happy: Small Steps to Big Joy, and leading happiness coach. With 27 years in education as a teacher, curriculum director, and educational leader, Kim brings deep insight and real-world experience to her work, inspiring educators and organizations to step into their power, reclaim their joy, and create lives filled with purpose and well-being.   Drawing on cutting-edge research in positive psychology, Kim shares practical, science-backed strategies that help people reduce stress, boost happiness, and achieve lasting transformation—both personally and professionally.   Outside of her work, Kim is a proud mom to Spencer, loving wife, and avid runner. She’s also a devoted animal rescuer, having saved 257 dogs (and counting!).

Mastering Your Subconscious Mind: The Foundation for Creating the Life You Want

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't your circumstances, but the subconscious programming you've been carrying since childhood? In this episode of Energetically Speaking, I share the story behind rebranding the Ultra Aligned Podcast and stepping into a new chapter focused on subconscious transformation, mindset mastery, personal growth, and energetic alignment. After a year of deep study, coaching certification, and personal transformation, I discovered that so much of what we experience in life is driven by subconscious patterns we don't even realize we're operating from. Join me as I introduce the core concepts that will shape this podcast and explain why understanding your subconscious mind may be the key to unlocking your next level of success, confidence, and fulfillment. In this Episode: * I explain how the subconscious mind influences approximately 95% of our daily experience and decision-making. * I share how childhood programming shapes our beliefs about money, success, relationships, and self-worth. * I introduce the tools, techniques, and guest conversations that will help you better understand yourself and create meaningful change.

Each episode combines practical tools, tangible takeaways, and honest conversations with guests who have transformed their lives by blending inner work with real-world action.

Ep. 17 | So Yeah, I Manifested a Budweiser Clydesdale

You don’t need to believe in magic to witness something impossible become real. In this episode, Claire shares how a childhood declaration turned into a real-life outcome decades later - owning a Clydesdale with direct ties to the legendary Budweiser lineage. This isn't just a story - it’s proof that manifestation works in ways you don’t expect. In ways you couldn't even imagine. |  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS * Manifestation isn’t about declaring - it’s about believing in the unkown.  *  Your thoughts and identities literally shape the opportunities you notice and attract.  *  “Impossible” outcomes can show up in unexpected, indirect ways.  *  Long-term desires can manifest years later when belief is sustained.  *  Evidence of manifestation changes your entire perception of reality.

Ep. 16 | Where Woo Meets Science: A New Chapter for The Ultra Aligned Podcast

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS  | Overview This isn’t just a podcast update - it’s a transformation. In this episode, Claire shares a heartfelt shift in direction for The Ultra Aligned Podcast, transitioning from mediumship storytelling to an educational hub for mediums, energy workers, lightworkers, and anyone curious about the intersection of science, spirit, and self-awareness. Key Takeaways * The podcast is evolving into an educational platform for energy workers, mindset coaches, and lightworkers. * There is immense value in combining “the woo” with neuroscience, psychology, and mindset tools. * Self-awareness and subconscious understanding can impact our ability to connect with energy and spirit. * Personal development and spiritual development are not separate - they’re deeply interwoven. * Embarrassment is a survival-driven emotion that often limits self-expression and alignment. Problem-Solution Explanation Problem: Many energy workers feel like something’s missing in traditional development tools. Mediumship often gets dismissed as “too woo,” while mindset work can feel cold or too focused on logic. There’s rarely a space where both the spiritual and the scientific sides come together in a way that makes sense. Solution: Claire’s new direction for the podcast bridges this gap by combining subconscious work, mindset coaching, and mediumship. It offers a grounded yet expansive learning space where energy workers can better understand themselves, develop their intuitive gifts, and show up with aligned confidence.
