I Just Spoke at the Back to Nature Summit – And Here’s Why It Moved Me

I recently had the honor of participating in the Back to Nature Summit, a beautiful online gathering of holistic health experts, nature lovers, and passionate changemakers. 🌿

My talk focused on the emotional connection we have with food and how returning to the wisdom of nature can help us rebuild our relationship with our bodies. It was deeply personal and truly transformative — not just for the attendees, but for me too.

But that’s not all.

I’ve also partnered with this summit to support a cause that’s very close to my heart. Together, we’re raising funds to uplift and empower local communities in Africa through M-Changa.

If my talk inspired you, or if you simply believe in giving back to help others heal and grow, I invite you to make a contribution — big or small — and be part of this ripple of kindness. 💞

Together, we can nurture health, hope, and healing — both within ourselves and around the world.

With gratitude,

🔍 Inside This Episode:

  • Why high-achieving women struggle to slow down and give to themselves

  • The real difference between therapy and coaching (and why Claudia chose this path)

  • How essential oils, yoga, and energy work still play a part in Claudia’s healing toolbox

  • The sneaky voice of the Inner Judge—and how to finally turn the volume down

  • Why burnout isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a cry for reconnection

What if the reason you're stuck isn't because you're doing something wrong—it's because you've been running on empty, giving everything to everyone except yourself?

In this episode of Professional Woman’s Wellness, I sat down with the absolutely radiant Claudia Braun (mindset coach, positive intelligence expert, and all-around soul whisperer.)

Let me tell you... this conversation?

It’s for you, my friend—the high-achiever who looks like she has it all together, but secretly feels burned out, overwhelmed, and maybe just a little lost inside.

Claudia and I went deep.

We talked about how so many women have been conditioned to give, give, give… until there’s nothing left.

Then we wonder why we can’t sleep, why we’re snappy, or why we’re grabbing the chocolate at midnight (🙋‍♀️ guilty).

Claudia’s superpower?

Helping women recognize the invisible programming that keeps them stuck in patterns they don’t even realize they’re repeating.

Her tools aren’t just woo—they’re whoa. From mindfulness techniques to her daily accountability app that keeps you focused on your “wise self,” she walks you back to clarity and confidence one loving nudge at a time.

“You don’t have to live a future that looks like your past.” – Claudia Braa

“Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s how we stop making someone else pick up our broken pieces.” –Claudia

“You can’t stay the same and expect something different. Change doesn’t require a makeover—it just asks for willingness.”

“The Judge inside your head isn’t truth—it’s just an old voice that forgot your worth.” – Claudia

“We’ve been surviving. It’s time to start thriving.” – Dr. Peggy

Claudia is giving you something beautiful—her “Say Yes to You” guide.

Inside, you’ll find 3 powerful strategies to stop saying “maybe later” to your own well-being… and start saying a full-body yes to peace, confidence, and ease.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things and still feel empty, please know—you are not alone.

You’re not broken.

You’ve just been taught to survive instead of thrive.

This episode is your invitation to pause, breathe, and begin again—with intention.

So go ahead—say yes to you. 💛So give it a listen and let’s talk about how you can ground your energy and feel more like yourself again… one mindful bite at a time.Join the Movement
