Some career pivots come with a plan. This one came with a voice Claire did not know she had.
Claire Venus is a self described creative who also writes — and she has built a gentle, intentional creative life on Substack after walking away from the exhaustion of running chaotic online projects that left her burned out and questioning everything.
This week Alex sits down with Claire for a conversation about creativity, reinvention and what it actually takes to build something that is truly yours.
In this episode:
→ The career pivot that unearthed a voice she never knew she had
→ Burnout, scrambling and the moment she admitted the setup was no longer working
→ Why rising costs pushed her toward bigger thinking rather than smaller
→ Wanting creative work to be recognised and financially rewarded — and holding that conviction when others doubted her
→ The isolation of giving birth during the pandemic
→ Why the newsletter world right now feels like everyone cheerleading everyone else through figuring it out
→ Why waiting to feel ready is not the same as being ready
For the creative who can feel a new voice trying to surface but has not yet given it permission to speak.
This one is for you.
