Summary
In this episode of Thriving Not Surviving, Helen Valentino speaks with Claire Collard about her powerful journey from surviving to thriving. Claire opens up about early trauma, the healing path that followed, and the moment everything changed—a family trip to an abandoned beachfront hotel that turned from playful curiosity into a profound spiritual encounter with her young daughter. What began as a “spooky adventure” became a catalyst for Claire’s awakening and her lifelong connection to energy, spirit, and protection.
Together Helen and Claire explore the tools that helped her rebuild from the inside out—meditation, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), self-worth, faith, and the willingness to believe in something greater. Their conversation reminds us that even the darkest or most mysterious experiences can become doorways to love, healing, and transformation.
