✨ Thank God, I am normal (ish). People who speak for a living still get nervous before they do it.

Good morning beautiful souls 💜

Last Friday I was at the very first event organised by listening to Dave James speak about 'speaking without freaking'. It was awesome, his insights were so genuinely useful, real, honest, practical, not just "have more confidence."

It's something I'd love to do more of myself, and I'll be honest, it still terrifies me. Sitting in that room reminded me that fear doesn't mean you're not ready, sometimes it just means you're standing exactly where the growth is.
I left with plenty to put into practice, and probably a video or two brewing about it.

Much love

✨ Sometimes the best conversations happen over a game, not in a boardroom.

What a great day yesterday at FEAST Online, reconnecting with old colleagues and meeting some brilliant new people, including the team from The Burnt Chef Project®, who are doing incredible work advocating for wellness in hospitality. Our thinking aligned so closely I could have talked to them all day. Most of you will have seen their mascot the giant inflatable elephant, this one called Ellie (of course). A clear nod to naming the elephant in the room rather than ignoring it. This is something I talk about constantly in my own work too. Watching the netball and football was great fun, and everyone noticeably more relaxed than at a typical networking event, the pitch being the one exception of course, was a brilliant reminder that real connection and real progress don't always need a stage or a slide deck. Thanks to all the organisers, great event.

Much love

✨ Let's be honest about how hard building your own thing actually is.

Good morning beautiful souls 💜.

A year building, six months formally running, Bluebelle, and I've drawn on every ounce of resilience from twenty-five years of corporate leadership and found I needed more.
Entirely new muscles. There's no team to share the hard days with when you're a founder. You're the strategy, the delivery, and the person who has to find their own calm before every session.
It's humbling, and it's exactly the work I now help other people do too, leading themselves before they lead anyone else. If you're building something of your own right now, or a struggling leader, I see you 💜

Much love

✨ Nobody wants to admit the real cost of "being busy." It's not just hours. It's money, and it's time you're never getting back.

I've watched brilliant teams run themselves into the ground juggling conflicting priorities, because nobody ever taught them how to let go of some of the balls. Busy isn't the same as effective, and exhausted isn't the same as committed. The leaders who get this right aren't working harder than everyone else, they're clearer about what actually moves the number, and ruthless about letting the rest go. That clarity isn't a personality trait. It's a skill, and it's teachable.
If you want to know where you're spending wasted energy, a Cultural Wellbeing & Growth Review is the first step to uncover what's really going on. No obligation, for your team or just for yourself.

Warm wishes

Last week I got to hold space for a powerful 1-2-1 session — Reiki and Shamanic healing, tailored entirely to what was needed in the moment. There's something in having a safe room to land in — but the real shift happens when that safety lets you go deeper than you would on your own, into what you've been feeling and not quite looking at. That's where the real magic is. 🌿

If you're curious about booking your own session, just message me — I'd love to talk it through with you.

Much love,
Clare 💜

Thursday thought: people don't follow leaders because they're flawless — they follow leaders who are honest, human, and consistent whether things are going well or falling apart. That's not softness. That's the foundation everything else is built on. 🌿

Much love,

Fridays full moon eclipse felt like a big energy — Last Sunday's Connection Club was exactly the space to prepare for it, releasing what needed to go before it peaked. Now we're on the other side of it, I'm sitting with what's shifted — in me, and in what so many of you shared afterwards.

🌿 If you felt it too, I'd love to hear what it brought up for you.

Much love, Clare 💜

Happy Friday! Grateful for such a full, connected week — Connection Club, quiet 1-2-1 moments, and conversations that remind me why this work matters.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. 🌿

Much love, Clare 💜

A little behind-the-scenes today: alongside Connection Club, I'm working on something for the corporate world too — a space for leaders to put the mask down, just like we do here. More on that soon!

In the meantime, if you know a leader who's quietly carrying more than they let on, send them some love today. 💜

Much love, Clare
