In today’s episode, I want to dive into feminine versus masculine energy. But before you exit this page and say, “Ugh, Claudia’s gone all woo-woo on us,” please have an open mind and listen to this episode. Because if you’re a go-getter, an ambitious, successful woman, like I am, you probably really need to hear it.
