Today I have a really inspiring and uplifting conversation with Chicago native Claudia Braun, who helps women (notorical people pleasers), to finally say Unapologetically YES to themselves. What a concept! Aren't we all??

Claudia uses yoga, tapping, and other powerful tools to coach and help women overcome what stays in their way, and finally make changes in their lives that lead to healthier, happier, and more fulfilled paths.

Here are some points we talked about - and more:

How reaction to medication started her path on her self-healing journey
How it led to her passion for working with women who are really great caregivers but not good at taking care of themselves
How do you know that what you’re doing isn’t working
When you get to the point of: I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired
How we turn ourselves inside out to be what someone else wants us to be
How pain is a great motivator
How we hold emotions in our body that create physical conditions leading to dis-ease
How disconnected from our own body we really are
What it takes to start making changes you were not able to make
How it is a journey with twists and turns
What does it mean when you make the commitment to yourself
How belief creates an experience
How replaying the same drama, you say you don’t want, gets you locked in that story and unable to step out
Why loving yourself just the way you are is often the hardest thing
How every time you let go of something, you reap benefits
How giving yourself a pause could be one of the kindness things you can do for yourself
What simple little steps you can take today on your healing journey

Some of the best Claudia's quotes that stood out for me from our conversation:

“It’s the most selfish thing not to take care of yourself – because eventually somebody else has to”

"When we decide to prioritize ourselves, then we have way more to give, we’re way more fun to be around because a stressed-out, anxious person is not that fun to be around!"

“Selfgrowth path is very patient. All we have to do is start. You make small incremental changes and that will change your life.”
