Today, Claudia-Sam Cataford Sauve, Soul Connection Coach, is coming to the show. We will discuss how to reconnect to our true selves, especially when we feel overwhelmed, disconnected from who we used to be, and trying to embrace a new identity.
Claudia-Sam supports ambitious happiness seekers who’ve lost sense of their purpose, who haven’t learned to put themselves first, who deep down know that they’re here for a bigger reason, and who are ready for a change!

She helps them to put themselves at the top of their to-do list (without feeling unproductive), ditch the self-care guilt and flex their soul connection muscle so that they can be their own inner guides to fulfillment and happiness now, using her Tune-In method.

In this episode, Claudia-Sam and I talked about:
🧘‍♀️ What it means to find ourselves again
🧘‍♀️ Her tune-in methodology and what kind of transformation you can expect from it
🧘‍♀️ Her 3-step framework: balance, connect, and trust
