Meet Claudia Warias | Mindset + Emotional Health Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Claudia Warias and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Claudia, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
After being a high performer in corporate for 8 years & 4 years in leadership managing a gobal team, there came a point where I wondered..

“How would like look like if it was less busy? Who am I if my identity is not defined by my job title? What hobbies do I actually like? Is it possible to slow down & still be successful?”

Experiencing burnout & depressing caused by my career & constant chase of external validation, forced me to sit down with myself & get to know myself more. Therapy & coaching have been a crucial part in this process of self-discovery, through which I discovered who I really want to be & what I really want to do in my life.

While many people start their business to make lots of money, I initially started my business to have time to heal. To have to focus on myself, what I like & how I want my life to look like. That sounds counterintuitive, as global hustle culture makes us think that having our own business create the opposite of a balanced life…

but that depends on your own priorities & what you want to do. Hence, with that clarity in my mind, I created my business around my lifestyle, instead of my business creating my lifestyle. This has been my priority for the past 3 years & I absolutely love it. By focusing on my own health, needs & desires while making an impact on others through my mission, money came as a byproduct.

Key takeaway for you – you get to decide how you want to run & feel in your day. Claim it!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I help women with autoimmune diseases & chronic symptoms increase their well being & feel confident in their bodies again.

What sets me apart is a deep expertise & knowledge in coaching. I have over 800 hours of coaching experience with people from all stages in their life while being accredited by ICF (the international coaching federation).

Coaching is not a just a practice, for me it’s an art partnership. Where the client & I partner up together to create the most magical & unique piece of art – which is their own authenticity & claiming that fully.

I came to realize that challenges are & will be always there, no matter what you do or don’t do. The biggest gift that you can do for yourself is do the deep inner work in understanding why you self sabotage yourself. Getting to know the patterns & breaking them (essentially what coaching is), helps fundamentally to let go of an old identity of yourself to leave space for a new, more empowering one to develop.

As mentioned in my TEDx Talk “Why being stuck is a sign of your next breakthrough” – you are not meant to be only one version of yourself. Let yourself evolve & grow, meeting yourself with curiosity & compassion.

THAT is the meaning of life.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If people visit Barcelona I can definitely recommend Shanti Vida (for amazing Yoga & self development workshops), SUCO Sessions (dance meditation overlooking the sea), Honest Greens (for health nutrition dense food) & Eat my trip (for amazing brunch!)
