Claire Hill is not your usual business coach. She identifies as the 'Queen of Unstoppable Self-Belief' and works specifically with the "I thought I'd be making more money by now" crew - teaching women in business how to stop leaking money, energy and power so their income can finally match how epic they are at what they do.

A mum of one, Claire understands the real, messy, powerful reality of building a business alongside motherhood, and her deep knowledge around money mindset means she quickly identifies the beliefs that keep brilliant women playing small - including the idea that wanting more money somehow makes them selfish, less present or worst of all, a bad mum!

In this episode, we explore Claire's remarkable journey from a childhood shaped by loss and financial hardship through six business ventures to the coaching practice she was always meant to build. It is a conversation about money as energy, warrior energy, honey money and the radical act of creating space in your life so that abundance has somewhere to land.

💡 "There is no space in a busy life for money energy to come in. If you want more money, you have to create room for it." - Claire Hill

In this conversation, we explore:

✨ Claire's journey from a childhood marked by the loss of her father at eight, young caring responsibilities and financial hardship to becoming a multi-business founder and the Queen of Self-Belief

✨ Why money is simply one form of energy and how reframing it as pasta — yes, really — can dissolve some of the shame and fear that keeps women from wanting it openly

✨ The stories handed down through generations, religion and patriarchy that make women feel that wanting money is greedy, selfish or incompatible with being a good mother and why those stories are worth dismantling

✨ How our upbringing shapes our money mindset in ways we often don't recognise until we start building a business and the blocks show up in real time

✨ What warrior energy actually means, why every mother in business needs a full pot of it and how to transfer worry energy into the kind of drive and resilience that sustains you

✨ Why the hardest work in business is not doing more but getting clear on what you actually want to be known for and giving yourself permission to do only that

✨ The concept of honey money and why becoming your most vivid, authentic self is the thing that makes money want to stick to you

✨ Why doing less, saying no more and creating genuine space in your life is not laziness but the strategic move that allows money energy to actually get in

✨ The business leaks test and how identifying the patterns that are quietly draining your energy, confidence and income is the fastest way to start making more

✨ Why self-worth is the foundation of everything and the unexpected moment that shifted Claire's relationship with her own

About The Host:

I’m Victoria Phipps – a Mum of two, analogue family photographer, personal brand photographer, educator, charity co-founder, marketer and now podcaster! 🎙️

I was raised by a nurturing Mother and an entrepreneurial Father and have inherited traits from both, so the tension between ambition and motherhood is one I grapple with on a daily basis!

I’m fascinated to hear the stories of other women on a similar path, who are striving to build thriving businesses whilst being present for their children. It's a tough juggle, but I hope the conversations shared on this podcast help Mums in business feel less alone and inspired to keep going in pursuit of their dreams.
