Where the Heart Leads: A Journey of Self, Service, and Strength with Clair Slade

Where the Heart Leads: A Journey of Self, Service, and Strength with Clair Slade

Author: Charlotte Ashley-Roberts May 2, 2025 Duration: 1:05:03

In this soul-stirring conversation, I’m joined by Clair Slade, whose leadership is rooted in love, service, and fierce commitment to community. She’s a champion for others — the kind of woman who creates spaces where people feel seen, heard, and held. But behind her public presence is a deeply personal story of self-mastery.

We explore what it means to serve without losing yourself, how to honour your own needs while holding space for many, and the unspoken truths about burnout, boundaries, and identity when you're constantly showing up for others.

This episode is an invitation to all women who lead, give, and support — to come home to themselves without guilt. To reclaim their own power while still being a force for good.

It’s honest. It’s tender. And it’s a powerful reminder that true leadership begins within.
