Everyday Sustainable
Not often enough do we cross paths with, not only a kindred spirit, but a woman that is genuinely living and walking her talk in the way Claudia is.
“I trust you”, was a statement she made when we began this conversation. Those are three supremely powerful words, because they are:
1.) A conscious guide of navigating life one thrives in.
2. ) Touches others in ways their vibration is elevated.
3. ) Kind.
Kindness is as kindest does. Claudia does kindness.
In this episode, Claudia shares her aim to bridge the gaps perpetuated and upheld by false boundaries; be they between languages, cultures or lines drawn on a map.
She believes we are all brothers and sisters, and lives to inspire us to care for one another and the planet.
