Learn More About Claire:
My name is Claire, and I am an entrepreneur, mother of two, and writer. I’m on a mission to help women prepare their businesses and their minds for the arrival of a new baby. I had both of my daughters while growing my six-figure marketing business. During my pregnancies, I craved nothing more than having someone by my side to help me do all of the “gut checks” that I was navigating on my own: finances, insurance, task management, client communications, delegation, team growth, and more.

When I found out I was pregnant for the second time, I decided to document exactly what I was doing to prepare for the arrival of my baby. Throughout that process, I reached out to amazing mother-entrepreneurs across the world about their own experiences. Their journeys, and my own, are the core of my book, Expectant Entrepreneur: How to Grow a Business and a Baby. My hope is the book offers women everywhere a feeling of community, togetherness, and camaraderie as they prepare for changes in their own lives. You’ll also get trimester-by-trimester guidance on the decisions, areas of focus, and strategies I used that resulted in my business growing as my family grew, too.
