Sunshine After the Storm: Clare on Loss, Grit & Starting Again

Two months after losing her baby Charlotte to SIDS, Clare opened a laptop, named a business on the back of a credit card bill, and started. In this raw, no-fluff conversation, she shares how grief, debt, and a surprise pregnancy became the backdrop to building Sunshine Digital, landing FirstGroup as her first client, and later clawing back from heart failure (8% function) to cold-water swim guide. It’s survival turned agency — and a blueprint for doing it afraid.


Key Takeaways

  • You don’t wait for confidence — you build it by moving.
  • Grief doesn’t get lighter; you get stronger at carrying it.
  • Starting small (one Facebook page, one pitch) can change your life.
  • Community and purpose beat isolation — even in the darkest season.
  • Cold water, journaling “glimmers,” and simple routines can reset your nervous system.
  • It’s not about being a victim or a hero — it’s about choosing the next brave step.
