Hey I’m Claire and this is a chunk of my story

I grew up in safe little, powerful,
organized and full of potential Germany

With a double “first world” nationality :

german and french

…you may possibly have noticed I speak english

and since march2020 (yes, urgh) I live in spain
hence speak spanish (but with a venezuelan accent)

you may notice as well:
I don’t care about upper and lower case letters
and I didn’t really understand
the economic depth of the world 
until not too long ago and am now fascinated by it…

Topics that most interest me are:

- behavioral psychology
- personality science
- photography/art
- organization
- coffee

and simply life and humans in all of their forms

__________ a little bit of everything, all wrote into one.

Back in 2014

I chose a career based on the possibility to travel

I became a Dual Hotel Management Graduate
and after graduating went on for a winter season 
in the middle of Austria – Obertauern

In my free time I could just hop on the slopes
as they were at my doorstep, rad’

the seasonal work was harddddd and demanding 
but overall great fun!

2018: money saved, I booked a plane ticket to Australia…

I worked anything hospitality
from little local cafes all the way to fine dining service

I travelled the east and west coast on my own
staying in countless hostels
meeting amazing humans
and becoming somewhat of an adult

but what changed my lifes trajectory the most?

- Specialty Coffee and Venezuelans

… so in 2020 I decided:

“all right, let’s move to spain, learn some basic spanish
work with and learn more about coffee
and then keep doin’ what we were doing in LatAm”

fast forward 4 years (to 2024)
*yes that escalated quickly*
I am still in spain,
and my life evolved in ways that I never thought possible

I have played out multiple passions across various fields

- I’ve worked in one of the best specialty coffee Shops in Madrid
- started to work as a FilmDirectors Personal right hand
- organized niche-events and cuppings with Oatly BMD
- Manage an Instagram Account from Start to finish
- provide professional barista services at high end conventions
- hand-made and sold 55 ceramic cups to a coffeeshop
- do Accounting for a foreign Freelancer

and those are only the BIG7
-that have or still do-
contribute to me paying my rent. yey

I got about 2years of digital economy research on my back 
love reading about anything that has to do with human behavior
while burning a fire in my soul for being alive and enjoying that to the fullest

few things excite me as much, as showing those who are willing what it’s like to
- just do what you want (most of the time)
-build your own reality experience
- not care what others think
- organize a balanced work-life concept
- feel healthy and strong
- be able to communicate for connection

enjoy the process (most of the time)

If that sounds like something
you’d wanna hear more about
feel free to stick around here :)

if you feel like connecting
or look for help in that direction
I’m here with you to see where this goes.

…hopefully to the moon and never back

thank you for reading ♥

it’s better to zoom out
than to focus on the details.

…lately metric growth has been stagnant,
but personal growth, creative output
and confidence have been exponential.

if you’re creating while the numbers stay silent
…you’re not behind

our words will find the right ones.

[Claire @claireisonit]

once you start being honest with yourself
and not only set up the ideal calendar flow

but also retro-structure the reality you lived
you’ll notice where you have been cheating yourself.

whichby the way is
a whole other level of betrayal

you ain’t trusting the friend that never shows up
when they said they would help you with your project

…why would you trust yourself
if you always cancel last minute??

[Claire @claireisonit]

@rjmxrell all or nothing over here haha

[Claire @claireisonit]

ask yourself the right questions.

your business is built on your foundation of:

trust and validation

when your friend didn’t see the potential in your idea, what exactly inside you felt triggered? insecurity? frustration? or a need to prove…what?

whose validation would make you feel “safe” to continue? your own, clients’, results’, or peers’?

can you remember a moment when you trusted your vision before anyone else understood it? what helped you hold that trust?

Testing something new.

Free 30-minute workflow audit
for 3 creators/entrepreneurs.

Show me your project (chaos),
& I'll help you see the system.

DM me if interested.

[Claire @claireisonit]

my dear friend and great inspiration
@dartcaffeine (on instagram) and I
got to share an hour on the immä__studio couch.

🎤 chatting about:

the wild mix of education, brand elaboration and
pure curiosity she built in the last years
so hyped to hear what you take from her lessons!! 🚀

[Claire @claireisonit]

this came out a few days ago

thank you so much for platform Abbi!!

had a great time chatting with you
and reflecting on those past years
within the creator economy
how i started my journey
and where i'm headed.

personally a bit more active
over on substack these days

check my link in bio
if you want to stay up to date

love, Claire

[Claire @claireisonit]

@thedanielaros omg this is true and sad at the same time

[Claire @claireisonit]

new side project:

building an AI-agent for
- hospitality stock-flow overview
- reservation assitant

gave myself 30days until completion
let's see how we go.

anyone have experience with this?

[Claire @claireisonit]

i can see where you're coming from!
the environment is very much different though.
the algorithm isn't programmed in the same way at all.

posted a note the other day (maybe my 20th in total)
and it went "viral", resulting in 259comments and over300likes as well as about 100 new followers.

aside from that i really believe there is potential in the platform, as it's a hybrid of the newsletter you own, can charge money for and get discovered as on a social platform.

p.s. maybe i should become an advocate haha

[Claire @claireisonit]

@jarrichgrey and somehow that will make everything more fluent

[Claire @claireisonit]

@themartijndouw no connection, no relation

[Claire @claireisonit]

remember:

what you're not changing
you're also choosing!

thank you for this amazing addition
on the other days post on:
"the way you talk to yourself matters."

STORY OF MY LIFE
AS A FREELANCER

IYKYK

[Claire @claireisonit]

what you think you want
isn't at all what you really need
(or desire for that matter)

you'd notice that
if you'd dare to pay attention

or dared to ask yourself
some uncomfortable questions.

dropping a helpful guide on this soon!

[Claire @claireisonit]

i did it again.

"giveitomeeeee"

[Claire @claireisonit]

a solid foundation will ground you stronger
than your dreams could ever lift you high.

[Claire @claireisonit]

the other day i said:

"the way you talk to yourself matters"

receiving similar questions from
@HillaryAsokomhe and
@JAbdmuhiz

-----------

if you always talk to yourself
in a demotivating or negative way
that indirectly is what you will
think of yourself

"i fucked up again"
"i knew i wasn't going to get it right"
"i'm so stupid/xyz"

just like when others say nice things
and they make you feel better
you should be able to tell yourself nice things

"i know i can do this"
"i feel good today"
"i am so ready for this challenge"

be your own biggest fan
a greatest support system

[Hillary Asokomhe @HillaryAsokomhe]

@claireisonit How so?

[Claire @claireisonit]

while you're overthinking and doubting

there's someone out there
amazed at how you do it all.
