Clare opens up about her experiences with Poland Syndrome, her financial recovery from debt, and her insights into understanding money archetypes. Together, we discuss the power of vulnerability, building a supportive community, and finding balance as a mother and entrepreneur.
Topics Covered
Transforming Shame into Inspiration
Clare shares her personal journey of living with Poland Syndrome, being born with one underdeveloped breast, and hiding her condition for years. Through acting and personal development, she embraced authenticity and turned her story into powerful performance art, inspiring others to share their vulnerabilities.
Financial Recovery and Money Mentorship
Clare recounts her journey of overcoming $109,000 in debt, which she accumulated through personal development courses and naive business decisions. She discovered financial recovery programs and cleared her debt over seven years. Now, she teaches about the eight money archetypes (romantic, accumulator, celebrity, ruler, nurturer, connector, alchemist, and maverick) through her "Wealth Codes" ebook and workshops.
Navigating Criticism and Setting Boundaries
Clare opens up about receiving harsh criticism after someone downloaded her free ebook. She explains how she managed her emotions by regulating her nervous system, seeking support from her inner circle, and setting clear boundaries to protect her energy.
Balancing Entrepreneurship and Motherhood
Clare discusses her fears about balancing motherhood and her career, realising that authenticity and following her passions make her a better parent. She emphasises the importance of networking and community, likening it to the idea that “it takes a village” to build a business.
