I bloody love Claire Mackinnon. Or should I say 'Aphrodite Jones'. Your average everyday girl next door, come divine burlesque dancing goddess!

Really, I think she's bloody GREAT! So relatable. So real. So human. So honest. So curious. So playful. And so f**king done with trying to fit herself into nice, neat corporate shapes and spaces...

So much more than the 3000-character LinkedIn marketing posts she was contorting herself to write to help promote herself...

Listening to the call from deep within to shake off her shackles and dance out of the box she had placed herself in, she eventually gave birth to 'Glitter & Biscuits' her new Substack newsletter... The place she is taking great delight in expressing her whole self more fully.

This being the very creation that inspired me to get back behind the microphone to record this episode. And boy oh boy does she not disappoint!

This is Claire MacKinnon - corporate leadership coach, mother, wife, friend, dancer and recovering ass-kissing people-pleasing perfectionist (her words not mine!) in surround sound, fully-reclaimed, sexy, sassy, silly, messy, unprepared, unfiltered full bleed. And it's a thing of pure unadulterated joy.

Better still, by its very nature, it's also a permission slip and invitation to the rest of us to follow suit, just be ourselves and do something we love just for the simple, joyful sake of it... And see where it takes us... Knickers in the air, let's go! WOOHOO!!! Hahaha!!

Listening back, this interview makes my whole body smile just as much as the moment I made it.

Enjoy
