Leaving Corporate, Moving Countries, and Building a Heart-Centered Business Around Personal Core Values with Claire French
Manage episode 474385228 series 3578370
Have you ever felt like you were meant for more—but didn’t know how to get there without losing yourself in the process?
In this episode, I sit down with Claire French, a virtual assistant and entrepreneur who left her corporate job, moved across the world to Australia, and built a thriving heart-centered business rooted in her personal core values.
Claire gets real about her story of moving to a new country, starting a business as a virtual assistant and creating a sustainable business that honors who she is—not who the world told her to be.
Claire shares how her journey unfolded (spoiler alert: it wasn’t all smooth sailing), how she stayed aligned with her personal core values, and why running a business as a woman is just... different.
Here’s what we dive into:
- The unexpected events that pushed Claire to leave corporate, move abroad, and fully commit to starting a business as a virtual assistant—and how she made it all work
- Why personal core values became her compass in business (and how you can use yours, too)
- What it really means to run a heart-centered business—and why it’s the antidote to burnout and overwhelm
- The unseen emotional labor and identity shifts that come with entrepreneurship—and the specific challenges faced by female entrepreneurs
- Rewriting the outdated business advice for women: How Claire rebuilt her business from scratch after burnout, and the mindset that helped her start again (this will change how you think about failure)
Claire’s story is raw, empowering, and packed with truth bombs that every woman entrepreneur needs to hear.
What would it look like if you built a heart-centered business around your personal core values—not someone else’s rules? DM me your answer over on Instagram @katyripp—I genuinely want to hear from you.
