068: Becoming Claire aka, a Transformational Story of Acceptance, Happiness, and Love - Sarah chats to Helen & Claire Robinson

Harnessing Happiness with Sarah J Naylor is an upbeat, energetic, and inspiring podcast filled with joy and laughter, wisdom, philosophies, and positive psychology.

 Tune in and listing to this incredibly engaging, uplifting, and heartening story of true love, one that demonstrates genuine support and acceptance, honesty, and gratitude and so many other emotions along the way too.

During this intimate conversation Helen and Claire share their story with Sarah, one that started many years ago whilst they were both still at school and Claire was known as Brian. As time progressed, they moved in together, married 15 years ago as husband and wife, and went on to have their son 11 years ago. 

Claire explains how, as Brian, he explored many different looks over the years, including Goth and Biker images, none of which ever felt quite right, until he identified as transgender. As the discussion unfolds you can hear how supportive and accepting Helen has been throughout the whole process. She also talks about Brian becoming Claire as ‘a lot of small steps, and a long journey, over many years’, and not the ‘big change’ that is often reported by couples in similar situations.

A down to earth couple (we’re talking Yorkshire after all!) who talk openly and honestly about the professional and personal hurdles Brian faces including the transition to Claire at work, and, of course, the journey they have gone on with their son too.

This truly is an enlightening episode, one in which you can hear the love between this incredible couple, and how by aligning with their identity, Claire feels connected, liberated, and much happier in herself as a result.   

You’re guaranteed to be inspired by their story and quite simply love Helen and Claire for living life on their terms. 

Sarah is naturally engaging, her energy infectious, and whether she is sharing her musings and ramblings about life in general, or having insightful discussions with her guests, as you tune in and listen, your energy levels will rise, a smile will spread across your face as your inner happiness is harnessed.
