The first trimester is often treated like a waiting room — something to “get through” before the real pregnancy begins. But what if these early weeks are actually the foundation for everything that follows?

In this grounding, heart-opening episode, Clara reframes the first trimester as a sacred beginning — a season of nervous system imprinting, emotional awakening, identity shift, and deep internal transformation. Whether you’re pregnant now, hope to be, or support birthing people, this episode will help you understand why the first trimester matters more than anyone tells you.

Clara also unveils her brand-new free resource:
✨ The Mindful First Trimester Checklist — a gentle, grounding guide-within-a-guide for navigating the earliest weeks of pregnancy with presence, trust, and intention.
(You’ll also get access to a private Spotify playlist available ONLY through the checklist.)

What You’ll Learn

  • The untold truth about the first trimester and why it’s not a pause — it’s a profound beginning
  • Three common first trimester mistakes (and what to do instead)
  • How nervous system patterns established now influence birth
  • Why birth preparation doesn’t start at 30 weeks — it starts with micro-habits of presence
  • How mindfulness becomes a companion, not another task
  • A grounding practice you can return to any time
