    Strategy Trauma: What it is & How it's Screwing Up Your Business

    Loving the show? Don't be shy - drop us a text and share the love. SOVEREIGN & SEEN DOORS ARE OPEN! A Resonance Method portal for CEOs and spiritual visionaries ready to ditch the fear of being seen and step into their most powerful, luscious and embodied expression so they can show up with ease, talk about their work with magnetism and get paid generously for their gift by humans who vibe with them. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE.  ----------------------------------------------- In this episode of Restoring Aliveness, I’m diving into something that so many women in business experience but don’t have words for—strategy trauma. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, burnt out, or disconnected despite doing “all the right things” in business, this is for you. As a Business Expansion Mentor and Somatic Alchemist I’ve seen how obsessing over strategy and external solutions can actually pull us further away from the success and freedom we crave. The real issue? It’s not the strategy itself—it’s what’s happening in your nervous system, subconscious, and body-mind connection. I’ll also introduce Sovereign & Seen, my newest program designed to help you reprogram your nervous system for visibility, creative power, and true resonance in business. Because growing a freedom-based, breathe-easy business that actually feels good -- isn’t just about what you do—it’s about who you become. 00:00 Welcome to Restoring Aliveness 00:49 Understanding Strategy Trauma 02:41 The Real Issues Beyond Strategy 05:09 Introducing Sovereign and Seen 06:39 The Inner Game of Business 10:04 Aligning Your Energy for Success 15:49 Conclusion and Next Steps Thank you for tuning in to Restoring Aliveness.

    Liberating My Aliveness: Spilling The Beans On My Visibility Journey

    Loving the show? Don't be shy - drop us a text and share the love. SOVEREIGN & SEEN DOORS OPENING SOON! A Resonance Method portal for CEOs and spiritual visionaries ready to ditch the fear of being seen and step into their most powerful, luscious and embodied expression so they can show up with ease, talk about their work with magnetism and get paid generously for their gift by humans who vibe with them. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE.   ------------------------------------------- In this episode, I share my personal journey toward embodied visibility in business—how I learned to powerfully express my voice and take up space without apology. I open up about my struggles with fear, shame, and underexpression, and the deep inner work it took to overcome these barriers to become the bold, impactful leader I am today. I dive into the importance of the inner game, frequency-first business, neuroplasticity, and aligned action in achieving true visibility, creating more wealth, building community and and making a lasting impact.  Plus, I introduce my new program, Sovereign & Seen—a portal for visionary leaders ready to alchemise fear and step into their fullest expression. 00:00 Introduction to My Visibility Journey 00:33 Defining Embodied Visibility 01:58 Overcoming Personal Challenges 08:15 The Impact of Motherhood 13:48 Rewiring the Mind and Body 16:39 The Inner Game of Business 20:11 Embracing Boldness and Leadership 24:26 Invitation to Sovereign and Seen Program (SOVEREIGN & SEEN is for the woman who…) 🔥 Knows she’s meant to be seen, but still finds herself shrinking—editing, diluting her power to avoid judgment. 🔥 Feels a deep calling to lead, but battles an invisible force in her body that whispers, “Stay small. Stay safe.” 🔥 Has built something incredible but senses she’s still playing at 70%—like there’s a whole other level of expression, magnetism, and wealth waiting for her if she could just let go. 🔥 Is tired of watching less-qualified, less-aligned people take up space while she second-guesses herself. 🔥 Feels the frustration of “doing all the right things” in business, but something still isn’t clicking—her presence isn’t landing the way she knows it should. 🔥 Is done with performing. Done with proving. Done with pushing through fear. She craves a deeper way—one where her body, voice, and energy do the work for her. 🔥 Is ready to turn the damn lights on—to step into the frequency where her presence alone shifts the room, attracts the right people, and calls in the money, impact, and opportunities that have always been meant for her. If this is you—Sovereign & Seen is the portal you’ve been waiting for. Thank you for tuning in to Restoring Aliveness. If you enjoyed this episode, we'd love to hear from you!

    Loving the show? Don't be shy - drop us a text and share the love. Show Notes: In this episode of Restoring Aliveness, Claire delves into the concept of radical responsibility, urging you to take full ownership of your reality. She explains what this really means and why so many humans struggle to do this. By understanding that your experiences are shaped by your beliefs, concepts, and emotional states, you can break free from a living your life as a victim - where your reality is this 'thing' that passively happens to you, and embrace the truth that we are all constantly generating our reality (whether we want to or not). Claire emphasises the importance of stepping out of blame, shame, and past narratives to embrace your divine agency, connect to your emergent self, and cultivate a life of presence, sovereignty, and conscious co-creation.  Tune in to learn how to transform your programming, harness your creative intelligence, and manifest the life you were meant to live.  00:00 Introduction to Radical Responsibility 00:33 Understanding Radical Responsibility 02:32 The Power of Choice 03:33 Blame, Shame, and Ownership 04:42 Programming and Self-Respect 10:30 Emergent Self vs. Preformed Self 13:33 Positive Neuroplasticity and Conscious Creation 17:11 Breaking Free from the Treadmill of Survival 18:38 Conclusion: Embrace Your Sovereign Power Thank you for tuning in to Restoring Aliveness.

    The Myth of Safety: Embracing Growth Beyond Fear

    Loving the show? Don't be shy - drop us a text and share the love. Show Notes: In this episode of Restoring Aliveness, i’m delving into the common misconception that so many humans on a healing journey fall into; the idea that they have to feel ‘safe’ before they take the action that they truly desire to take. This idea isn’t always conscious. It doesn’t always speak in a loud voice, but it lingers in our being and serves to keep us on a path of ‘when this, then that’. It keeps us living a story that says we need to continually process our past before we can live our vision, and in this, we stay in stasis whilst we keep waiting to be healed ‘enough’. I’m offering you a powerful alternative to this that I hope will become your mantra moving forwards. In this episode I am bringing my deeply loving big sister energy to challenge you to stop waiting for the perfect sense of readiness and instead, to ground yourself in the potential of the present moment and unleash your innate courage to take steps towards your heart’s longings.  00:00 Understanding the Nuances of Feeling Safe 01:40 The Difference Between Unsafe and Uncomfortable 03:13 Challenging the Story of Unsafety 07:08 Finding Safety in the Doing 09:31 Stop Waiting and Take Action Thank you for tuning in to Restoring Aliveness.
