Create Shift S2,ep4: Know yourself, be yourself and f*%@ing own it with Marie-Claire Ashcroft

by | Apr 19, 2019 | Podcast | 0 comments

In Create Shift S2,ep4 I chat with professional rebel Marie-Claire Ashcroft. I knew when I met Marie-Claire that I had to have her on the show. She’s full of vitality, and is a person living life on her own terms regardless of what others say. That, of course, isn’t easy to do and in this conversation Marie-Claire shares her journey to getting to living a life true to her she is and the challenges she faced, and still faces now. I find Marie-Claire hugely inspiring when it comes to living my most purposeful life, and I hope you find her inspiring too.

For more inspiration and encouragement to own who you are follow Marie-Claire on Instagram @theprofessionalrebel and visit her website www.profesionalrebel.co.uk.
