POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

It’s a good time to reintroduce myself.

For those who are new here, I’m Claudia! A Writer, Podcast Host and Photographer. I write a Substack called Our Core Things, and host a podcast of the same name.

I started the newsletter because I was in a period of transition, and wanted a place to share my experiences and connect with other women who are also drawn to innerwork, spirituality and living more intentionally.

I started off writing about sustainability because that’s what I do for work – but quickly changed course to write about my personal & creative journey.

Today, Our Core Things is a space to reconnect with yourself during seasons of change through short essays and honest conversations. If you’re looking for more clarity, self-trust, new perspective and ways to reflect on your experiences, you’re in the right place!

You’ll find my Podcast and Substack linked in my bio 🤍

“I’ve learnt that in relationships, letting go isn’t as clear cut drawing a line in the sand, many relationships, especially friendships ebb and flow. It’s easy to assume things about people when they don’t reach out – that they don’t care, they don’t miss you, there’s no reciprocity, but the truth is they may be juggling too many things, or they might want to give you space.

Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, we decide we want to cut off a person from our lives. But sometimes ‘letting go’ might not mean cutting people off – it might mean letting go of resentment and bitterness, letting go of specific expectations, letting go of how we expect the friendship to go, so we can let it become what its meant to be.”

“Loving someone means meeting them exactly where they are right now.”
 In this week’s episode, I sit down with Celine Ivari, founder of wellness company Wholyme, to talk about listening to our bodies and what it looks like to stay in your self-worth - in entrepreneurship, romance and life.

Celine dives deep into her experience navigating self-worth in relationships, and shares her realisation that we can love someone, while still choosing something else for ourselves.

It’s such a good reminder of the value of high self-worth; when we learn validate ourselves, we can say no to relationships and circumstances that don’t reflect our self-worth.

If you’re in a period of reassessing what aligns, or want to step into higher worth in relationships, this one’s for you!

Comment CELINE and I’ll DM you the link.

It’s easy to plan and strategise nonstop when there is something we want to attain in our lives. The recent story my Airbnb host shared with me reminded me that sometimes, all we have to do is stand still and cultivate our own garden, to allow the right things to come to us.

Yes, effort is necessary, but instead hustling to attain something, it’s also important to ask: how can I become a match to the things I desire?

When your self-worth is tied to taking care of others, it’s easy to lose sight of yourself.

@celine_ivari , founder of @wholyme_official , shares why deriving your worth from external validation isn’t sustainable, and what it means to build self-worth from within.

What are you holding onto that’s blocking what’s meant for you?

@celine_ivari shared an important truth on the pod: sometimes the craving for physical space is actually our soul demanding room to grow. 🌷

Returning to our authentic selves requires us to look at what we need to let go of, and have the courage to leave it behind.

If you’re navigating the ‘in-between’ right now, this episode is for you!

Have you ever felt an urge to declutter your life to make space for new things?? ⬇️

I used to think that self-esteem is about confidence and self-respect. I’ve realised that healthy self-esteem is not only about confidence, it also includes the ability to see and accept our flaws 🌓

Comment ACCEPTANCE for my recent piece on self-acceptance (including seven shadow journal prompts)!

Doing shadow work has been so essential in my spiritual growth journey. It has helped me understand and accept myself on a much deeper level, and meet my shadow parts with more compassion.

Comment SHADOW for a link to this week’s Substack all about this work. 🌓

Self-acceptance isn’t just accepting the parts of yourself you like.

It’s learning to meet the parts you judge, with curiosity instead of shame.

I wrote about how shadow work helped me do this, including seven prompts to you can use if you want to do some shadow work journalling!

Comment ‘SHADOW’ for the link to my piece “The First Step to Self-Acceptance”.

Some of my favourite Substack notes lately. I find some much joy discovering new perspectives and ways of seeing and understanding purpose, presence, inner work and transformation.

Which ones’s your favourite?

Misalignment happens when we allow our heads to convince our hearts that something should, or shouldn’t be done. A dream shouldn’t be chased, an opinion shouldn’t be said out loud….But alignment, is when our head and our hearts agree to take action on the same thing ❤️🧠
