Single Mums Business Network [SMBN CIC]

Welcome New Member, Claire Standen, Coach, Speaker and Activist, to the SMBN

I am delighted to welcome Claire to the SMBN. I have watched her work from afar for a couple of years now I think, and I always thought it would be lovely to get behind her work.

Claire is a coach and therapist helping entrepreneurial and professional women break the generational curse of ‘never enough’ so that they can build businesses, relationships and family lives that light them up. She is a certified and insured practitioner of Neuro-linguistic Programming, hypnotherapy, reiki and other trauma informed therapies meaning she is perfectly placed to coach you through whatever comes up. More importantly, Claire is someone who walks her talk.

As a dedicated self-developer, she is always learning and building her capacity to hold space. We can, after all, only facilitate work to the depths we have gone to ourselves, and for Claire, that’s deep inner work. Having separated from her husband in 2017, Claire found that life quickly began tail-spinning out of control. She didn’t have the confidence to communicate effectively with her ex-husband, and it was then that she discovered a completely different path. Thank goodness, because when she imagined things staying the same for the next 18 years or so, it was unthinkable. So-nothing changes if nothing changes, right? In truth (and Claire is known for her vulnerability and honesty in the on-line space), there was almost no area of Claire’s life that she was entirely happy with.

Starting with the minimum wage job- the finances just didn’t add up; the massive overwhelm she felt parenting her 2 kids under 5 years old and most especially her relationship with herself. Looking around on-line, there didn’t seem to be a blueprint for what she hoped she could achieve, but she held the faith and made her own way. Now, she brings the tools and techniques she’s learnt across 5 intense years to other single mums who want to build brighter futures for themselves and their kids. This work is revolutionary and courageous. It connects women back to their deeper wisdom and higher intelligence. It is the commitment to stop unhelpful patterns in this generation, and not pass them on to the next. Last but not least, it is the commitment to turn up differently in the future so that we can never repeat the same mistakes in love, work and parenting.

Claire’s coaching packages are across 3, 6 or 12 months, with dedicated 1:1 support so you can thrive. You can bring your real-time issues or whatever is coming up for you to the sessions, and she’ll work through this with you, helping you meet challenges more resourcefully, and go after your goals with more clarity and confidence. She also brings programmes and courses, including ‘The Empowered Divorce’, an 8-week self-study course to help you implement some life changing tools and techniques derived from the most powerful schools of trauma recovery and healing, combined with mindset and personal development. This course really could alter the course of your life.
