Life, Mastered with Molly Claire

Every human has core emotional needs. They are as essential as air and water. Yet so often, we convince ourselves they don’t matter—that we’ll be fine if they’re not met, or that they don’t even exist. The more we deny our emotional needs, the more disconnected and dissatisfied we feel. Ignoring them leaves us out of alignment with ourselves and unable to feel whole.

In this episode, I explore what’s lacking in the world of self-hel...

In a coaching landscape where there’s no shortage of ways to become certified, what makes one program stand out from the rest? It’s no secret–you can easily go online, attend any workshop, and walk away with a seal of approval. But a comprehensive, holistic program goes far beyond earning the title of a coach. It invites you into true life mastery—first for yourself, and then for the clients and communities you serve.

In this episod...

Do you ever feel like you’re just checking things off a list instead of truly living? That might be a sign you’re caught in the productivity trap–the constant cycle of achievement without connection that only leads to burnout.

When you think about checking boxes and meeting goals, do you feel the exhaustion mixed with that spark of excitement? As achievers and ambitious souls, we can bring meaning and creativity to our goals, but th...

Finding clarity around what you want is essential, because it guides every decision in your work and in your life. When you design your business or career to fit you, it opens the door to sustainable success and gives you the freedom to create your life around what matters most.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Holly Haynes, host of the Crush the Rush podcast. Holly shares her story of leaving her corporate job, starting her own bu...

Have you ever noticed how your phone or computer slows down when it’s been running for too long? Eventually, you get that “restart required” alert, and everything works better once you do a reboot. It’s almost become a joke–if something isn’t working properly, we just turn it off and turn it back on again. But that simple restart usually does the trick. A reset brings things back into alignment–and not just with technology, but in ...

What are the stories you tell yourself about who you are and what you’ve experienced? These stories have incredible power, and too often they turn into limiting beliefs that block you from creating the life you truly want.

In this episode, we explore the stories we tell ourselves, the emotions we experience, and how to notice where you may be limiting yourself financially, in your relationships, or in any other area of your life. Yo...

You matter. Not because of what you achieve, how productive you are, or the success of your business or career—but simply because you exist. That is the message at the heart of the She Rises book, and it’s the truth so many of us need to hear when we’re questioning our worthiness.

In this episode, I begin exploring the themes of She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of the Masterful Coach Collective. I’ve co-authored this po...

Being present in a group of people can feel uncomfortable, and it can be intimidating–scary, even–to open up and be vulnerable with others. But as humans, we need meaningful connection. It is truly one of the most powerful tools we have for growth.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and colleague, tapping coach Melanie Fay. Together, we are hosting The Deep Reset Retreat this October, and today we’re inviting you into a conver...

Isn't it fascinating that we can work so hard and do all of the things, yet still feel a lack of fulfillment? And when we do have those moments of fulfillment, we often credit it to hustling and overachieving, when that’s not actually where it’s coming from. Your next level of success is not going to come from pushing harder or spreading yourself more thin; it is going to come as you can slow down and hold still long enough for you...

Have you ever felt like you’re the only one facing challenges while everyone else has it all together? Maybe you’ve also experienced the opposite–people overlook your struggles due to your success.

Here’s the reality: everyone struggles–even the most capable, successful people. When we’re in the thick of it, it’s easy to feel isolated, judged, and wonder if we’re the only one who has to overcome challenges. This podcast is about und...

When we think about better time management and how to increase productivity, it’s tempting to believe that if we could perfectly color-code our calendars or find the best scheduling hack, all the overwhelm and stress would disappear. Those of us who have tried those methods time and again, yet still feel overworked and frustrated, know they’re not the quick fix we want them to be. Here’s the good news: increasing productivity gets ...

It’s so natural for us to invest our time and energy into giving back to others–we’ve been taught that it’s more noble to prioritize other people over ourselves. But what are the benefits of investing in yourself? When you prioritize personal transformation, you open the door to better serving others as well.

In this episode, we explore how being an achiever, a do-gooder, and someone who truly wants to help and serve can create a be...

When you hear the word "achievement," what comes up for you? Do you feel energized and inspired? Or do you instantly feel the pressure to “do more” or “be better”? 

In this episode, we’re diving into the complex relationship many of us have with achievement. We’ll explore the ways achievement can be expansive and lead you toward creating the life you want, and the ways overachieving can trap you in a cycle of overworking that d...

For something that touches every one of us, many people still feel grief-illiterate. Whether it's impacting someone close to you or your entire community, it can be difficult to figure out what to say or how to offer support. In light of the recent flooding in Texas, I wanted to have a heartfelt conversation about collective grief, the grieving process, and what it truly means to show up for others in both the short and long term.

In the current state of the world, we have all the information we could need at our fingertips—AI, ChatGPT, and automation are providing answers faster than we can come up with questions. But what's missing is context, meaning, and human connection. 

In this episode, I explore what the world is truly missing—and how transformational coaching and emotional intelligence in leadership can help fill the void. Because while we’re fl...

Have you ever told yourself the reason you feel overwhelmed is because you're just not an organized person? This is a common belief, but the truth is that you can organize your business in a way that is both simple and sustainable. You just have to find a place to start.
