Claire opens up about early trauma, the healing path that followed, and the moment everything changed—a family trip to an abandoned beachfront hotel that turned from playful curiosity into a profound spiritual encounter with her young daughter. What began as a “spooky adventure” became a catalyst for Claire’s awakening and her lifelong connection to energy, spirit, and protection.Together Helen and Claire explore the tools that helped her rebuild from the inside out—meditation, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), self-worth, faith, and the willingness to believe in something greater. Their conversation reminds us that even the darkest or most mysterious experiences can become doorways to love, healing, and transformation.Takeaways • Thriving means having the tools to navigate dark times. • Meditation and presence bring peace and self-discovery. • EFT offers practical relief from stress and anxiety. • Self-worth is inherent—it doesn’t need to be earned. • Miracles and mysteries can guide transformation when we trust the process. • Sharing our stories inspires healing and connection. • Revisiting the past with compassion opens space for growth. • The power of now is truly transformative.Resources Gabor Mate - “Scattered Minds”Dick Schwatz – “No bad Parts”Eckhardt Tolle – “The power of Now” & “A new Earth”Connect with Claire - Claire Romero is a meditation teacher, spiritual healer, and founder of Imagine, a holistic wellbeing brand that helps people reconnect with peace, purpose, and presence.
