I speak with Claire Ecclestone about leadership and power as responsibility. Claire shares about her career in Birth Craft and being on bended knee to birth as holy work, supporting others to remember their own power and being humble enough to lead from the dark. We also talk about the extraordinary intelligence and sacredness of the body, working with intuition, navigating social and industrial structures and retaining a wildness of spirit amongst the responsibilities of leadership and family.
