Claude Racine Discusses Post Partum Depression And Weight Gain

Send us Fan MailIn a patriarchal society that suggests women can’t have it all, Claude Racine-Valinksy is living proof they can. An outspoken advocate for women’s empowerment and wellness, Claude is leveraging her platform as an accomplished dancer, sought-after social media influencer and transformational personal coach to help women around the world harness the power of their own agency and accept responsibility for creating a life they love. For more than two decades, Claude has made a name for herself as a professional dancer, sharing the stage with some of the biggest talents of our day including JLo, Chris Brown, Avril Lavigne, Erikay Jayne, The Pussycat Dolls and Carmen Electra. She has also choreographed for popular television shows such as Will and Grace and Fuller House. A performer since childhood, dancing was a natural segue into the fitness industry for Claude. In 2019, she made her debut as a cast member of Beachbody’s popular 21 Day Fix Real-Time workout program. But in 2020, at the height of a wildly successful career, Claude found herself suddenly unemployed and at the mercy of a global pandemic that crippled the entertainment industry. Simultaneously, she privately battled postpartum depression following the birth of her first son, as well as a crushing Hashimoto’s disease diagnosis and an unprecedented 35 pound weight gain. Forced to pivot both personally and professionally, Claude committed to showing up for herself first, each and every day.  That journey included joining direct sales and becoming a partner with luxury brands BELLAME and Modere, marketing the very same health and beauty supplements that helped to heal her body from the inside out. One habit at a time, Claude diligently architected a system that completely reversed her diagnosis and helped her reclaim control over her mind, body and soul. Support the show
