This episode is truly such a full-circle moment for me, because I had the pleasure of chatting with Claire McDonald. She is actually a childhood friend (since first grade!) of mine from the East Coast, back when we lived in Pennsylvania.

But there’s a very specific reason I wanted to have her join me on the podcast. First, she’s the creator of SoulSpheres, which are STUNNING necklaces that weigh 21 grams to represent the weight of the soul. These pieces remind us that, as beings, our experience here goes beyond our physical body which is such an important reminder.

Moreover, she also shares her story of coping with anxiety throughout her 20s which resulted in a life-changing event that happened to her that, to use her words, “broke her open”—I had absolute chills when I heard that phrase! We’re talking about what it means to rediscover yourself and your soul after loss and a traumatic experience. Whether that’s the loss of a person, a loss of sense of self, identity, and more.

TRIGGER WARNING: Part of Clarie’s story involves some drug use, and there’s mention of overdosing and being in the hospital as a result. If this is at all a difficult topic for you, please feel free to come back to this episode at a later time or skip over that part. The mention of this drug use begins at the 14-minute mark of this video.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You feel lost, stuck, unable to move forward, in pain, and wondering how you’re supposed to move forward from here.
  • You feel overwhelmed and confused about where to begin coping with your grief, whether you’re new on this journey or it has been some time since your loss.
  • You find it difficult to function on a day-to-day basis. Or, find it hard to relate to others and can’t seem to find a solution that has worked.
  • You need grief support that isn’t overwhelming, but is impactful.


Now envision feeling supported with…

  • Guidance on how to work through your grief and loss from a Certified Grief Coach that is served in a way that’s relatable and trustworthy, and takes the guesswork out of your grief work.
  • A sense of peace moving forward in life without feeling like you’re moving away or forgetting your loved one(s). Feeling as though you have a sense of direction, hope, a zest for life, are able to cope with the day-to-day complexities of grief with confidence, have less stress and anxiety, and more.
  • A community of like-minded people where you’ll feel less alone, where you can participate as much or as little as you’re comfortable with. A space where you’re surrounded by those that understands where you’ve been and where you are, and encompasses guidance, support, comfort, and a safe space, but also joy, laughter, and vulnerability.
  • Consistent, reliable tools, resources, and support that is not overwhelming or intimidating, and is something you’ll actually look forward to!
  • Tangible, impactful, and effective strategies to transform your life and release all the things that hold you back, like limiting beliefs, fear or anxiety.
