Claire's Career Change Claire worked her way up over 8 years at an education startup to a senior leadership role in New York. Claire got the privilege of working at senior roles and got to try out remote work before it was common as today, but surprisingly, she was still unhappy.

In the midst of getting offers to work as COOs, she realized that her true passion is to help other women reconnect with themselves and transform . Some simple steps from Claire if you're feeling like you have blinders on and can't seem to find enjoyment in your work, start by writing down what makes you feel joy, proud, and grateful every day!

Through a year-long journey around the world, she transformed her mindset and redesigned her life on her terms.
