006: Claudia Markovic — Holding the Identity of a Leader

A conversation about building a foundation for your business, launching from embodied leadership, and learning to hold the identity of who you’re becoming — even when old stories try to pull you back.In this episode, I’m joined by Claudia Markovic, an embodiment facilitator and founder of Spiral Into Magic, who works with entrepreneurs to strengthen embodied discernment so their inner authority becomes steady and alive. We explore what it really looks like to build a business rooted in self-trust — and what happens internally when you step into a bigger vision.What we explored:The shift from practitioner → entrepreneur (and why most of us never planned to become business owners)How Claudia’s 10+ year journey through Qigong and embodiment shaped the foundation of her workVisibility as real work: the emotional labor behind posts, launches, and holding authorityThe hardest part: owning the identity of a leader without collapsing back into old beliefsTrauma, worthiness, and the fear of being “too big” or “too important”Why seeing others with a similar message is validation — not competitionThe deeper leadership edge: coming together as autonomous leaders instead of isolatingSustainable leadership isn’t about never falling — it’s about getting back on the horse, refining, and continuing to serve your pocket of people with clarity and courage.Claudia's Links:→ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2749477742036081Sophie's Links:👁️ Book a Behind the Practice Podcast Conversation: https://calendly.com/sophiecampise/podcast-interview-ren-behind-the-practice👁️ Learn more about Ren: https://www.ren-wellbeing.com/👁️ Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ren.wellbeing/👁️ Everything else: bio.site/ren.wellbeing🤍
