So meaning we have to listen to our intuition where a man is like, Oh, I gotta wake up earlier, and it doesn't matter if I feel horrible, I'm gonna ignore the body and I'm gonna go, and if women do that, you will end up with some kind of disease if you love that job, great, but I would just push it to the next level and say, does it align with your values as a woman? Does it feel supportive? And if it doesn't, then it's time to pivot and listen to the intuition..”- Claude Racine In this episode, let’s explore: Transition from Entertainment to Wellness Coaching: Claude Racine discusses her career shift from being a backup dancer in LA to founding an online women's wellness coaching business after experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, and Hashimoto's disease.Masculine vs. Feminine Energy: The conversation delves into the impact of masculine and feminine energy on women's health and well-being, exploring how societal pressures to be constantly productive can lead to stress and health issues.Self-Care and Wellness Practices: Claude shares practical tips for tapping into feminine energy, including somatic stretching, breathwork, gratitude practices, and the importance of experiencing joy and pleasure in daily life.Balancing Productivity and Intuition: The discussion highlights the need for women to balance their professional ambitions with personal well-being, encouraging listeners to listen to their intuition, embrace their desires, and create a life aligned with their values.

In 2020 when the entertainment industry crumbled she found herself unemployed and battling postpartum depression and Hashimoto’s disease. Through her own healing journey she was able to reverse her diagnosis and transform her body. Now, she is fiercely dedicated to helping other women heal from the inside out, embracing the very same tools that changed her life, through her signature program - Glow Up With Claude, a lifestyle and wellness mindset coaching program. Claude’s approach is characterized by non-negotiable discipline, unwavering grit and overall  mental toughness – areas which are often neglected by the fitness industry in lieu of trendy diet fads and unsustainable workout routines.  More than merely achieving physical results, however, Claude helps her clientele develop the mental willpower to succeed in every arena of life.  Connect with Claude: Instagram: @glowupwithclaude Connect with Marisa Hohaia: Website: https://www.breakupwithbusy.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breakupwithbusy Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marisa-hohaia-2b968017/

    07. Surrendering Stories That No Longer Serve You

    Today’s episode of the Beyond Busy podcast is a solo episode. In this episode, I talk about recognizing and transforming the internal narratives or "stories" that shape our beliefs and behaviors, which can either support or hinder our personal growth and success. I delve into the importance of becoming aware of these subconscious stories, understanding their impact on our emotions and actions, and using practical techniques like self-reflection, meditation, and positive affirmations to reprogram the mind. By doing so, individuals can break free from limiting beliefs, raise their emotional vibrations, and achieve their goals, with additional support available through a specialized program. Join me as we explore practical steps to reprogram your mind and start living your best life. Don’t miss out—tune in and transform your inner dialogue today! “Our stories which live in the mind, impact our emotions, so when our stories are negative, or doubtful, they impact our vibration. And that impacts our ability to attract the pieces of our manifestation. It also just impacts the way that we feel consuming negative emotion doesn't feel good common sense. It lowers our vibration when we have negative limiting stories on repeat in our psyche, it prevents us from acting. So if you're not confident, if you're in doubt, if you're in fear, if you're in lack, you're less likely to take the actions that you feel inspired to take from within from a higher place that are going to move you closer and closer to your manifestation, your purpose, living out the life that you are designed to live.” In this episode, let’s talk about:: Awareness of Internal Narratives: Understanding that the stories we tell ourselves are just beliefs that shape our perceptions and decisions. Impact on Goals and Manifestations: How negative stories can lower our emotional vibrations and impede our ability to achieve our goals. Reprogramming the Mind: Techniques to identify, challenge, and replace negative stories with positive affirmations and actions. Practical Steps for Change: Exercises and practices such as self-reflection, meditation, and gratitude to help rewire the brain and instill new, supportive narratives.Anti-Hustle Academy- https://www.breakupwithbusy.com/antihustle-academy Book an exploratory call - https://www.breakupwithbusy.com/schedule Connect with Marisa Hohaia: Website: https://www.breakupwithbusy.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/breakupwithbusy Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marisa-hohaia-2b968017/
