    About the host Claire-Louise Adams:

    Not just a mother - I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, a partner, a business owner, a coach, a mentor, and an advocate of women in the ever-changing world we live in. 

     

    A forty-something woman with three adult children, and a past of success and failures that have led me to the place I am now. With perhaps age, reflection, life experience, and a huge dose of hope and optimism I find myself here, empowering and celebrating everyday women choosing a life that fills their cup. 

     

    I am everything I choose to be.
