My Journey

For as long as I remember, I longed for deep meaningful connections with a significant other, friends and family but at the same time, I was always terrified of losing myself in those connections so I always tried to keep my distance and always felt disappointed and empty.

My desperate need to belong was actually feeding and impacting all my choices in life, yet my deep feelings of shame and unworthiness were crippling me.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\">Ever since I was a child, I felt different and misplaced. I felt misunderstood, unseen, and unworthy of love, but none of that was revealed to the outside. These feelings of emptiness and loneliness were eating me up from the inside.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\">Then in 2009, after a serious car accident and a long road to recovery, feelings of vulnerability, helplessness, loss, and guilt were overwhelming me and draining any effort I had to keep going.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\">But human nature is resilient and it is during those rough times that our strength and love for life kicks in. Change was on the horizon and new opportunities were revealing themselves to me. At the time, I chose to embrace change, befriend courage and take the leap. After a tough couple of years, I was ready to start my self-discovery and healing journey; and it was life-changing. I acknowledged and accepted my chronic depression diagnosis and started changing the narrative that I had in my mind.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\">After many years of achievements and self-discovery, I strongly believe that healing can only take place within an environment of love and authenticity. \u201cWe are loved unconditionally, but to feel it, we need to heal by peeling off the layers that keep on telling us that we are not worthy of love.\u201d<o:p><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\">I am a strong believer in recreating ourselves in difficult times. We are who we are because of what we\u2019ve been through and we are defined by what we learn about ourselves and make of our hardships.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\">Today, I embrace my journey; for it has taught me how to own my story and accept my uniqueness as well as my shadow.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\">Today, I can look back at that time of my life with pride, and look forward in faith, that no matter what happens I am guided and supported to meet my purpose and fate.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;\">Today, I confidently declare that \"I'm done. I'm done running away and hiding behind the irrational ideals I have in my head. I'm done convincing and fooling myself. I acknowledge that my need to be connected is as fundamental as my need for food and water. We are all wired this way and it is time for me to stand tall in my power and allow myself to merge into this whole of a human experience.\u201d<font color=\"#ff0000\" face=\"Calibri, sans-serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>","audio_url":"https:\/\/claranader.com\/storage\/uploads\/1685176815-my-journey2.mp3","image":"1720527111.png","order":1,"created_at":"2022-12-05T05:23:58.000000Z","updated_at":"2024-07-09T12:11:51.000000Z"}

What people are saying

Clara was our main panel speaker in an event we hosted earlier last month on “Healing from Collective Trauma” following the recent Beirut blast. Her talk was engaging and made the audience realize the importance of collective memory in healing collective trauma. Not only was she knowledgeable about the topic, but she was also convincing. Her content resonated well with the attendees, for we received many positive and appreciative notes from them.

We can’t thank Clara enough for bringing inspiration and hope to all of us, especially after the tragic blast that hit Beirut!

An inspiration to students as well as us teachers. From my personal experience and after only two sessions it felt that the topics being discussed target me personally and I’m sure that they have left a much greater effect on the students. Clara’s method of conveying the ideas is very inspiring and almost “magical”, I could actually feel my students in a trance throughout her talks as if trying to discover themselves at that specific moment. Keep up the great work.

“With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift.’’ Wayne Dyer
Since October 2018, my life has amazingly magically turned upside down. My choice of being a part of "Overcome Your Limitations" Program had made an unbelievable shift in my inner self. Each person, each event, and each situation is an experience, a new page, a choice, a chance, a mirror of your inner self. You just need to listen and look carefully with the eye of a new baby born to create your heaven on earth, to get aligned with your path, and to turn your ambition into meaning.
Thank you so much Clara Nader for being who you are, for being there to push me back to my path, for being part of my awakening aha moment, and for being a reflection of love, joy, and passion.

Nourhan Moukahal

PROGRAM MANAGER @ MAKESENSE

It will always be a blessed moment when I met Clara Nader and decided to take her program “Overcome Your Limitations” at the end of 2018. An inspirational and dedicated coach decided to create a life-changing and enlightening program, and for me, this is what I call a match made in heaven. I don’t have to hide the fact that I have been facing a hard period recently, but this program helped ease the process and I’m forever grateful! It’s a program designed to help you get through difficulties and limitations that might be holding you off in life or at least to put you on the right track.
Thank you, Clara, for your hard work, for your words, and for being an inspiration. Thank you for always leaving a mark on someone’s life, your impact is always immense. Thank you for being the light.

CAPACITY BUILDER @ NORWEGEN REFUGEE COUNCIL

Clara has been my coach for several years now. She is among the few coaches that I have worked with who are able to show empathy, contaminate courage, inspire solutions without saying them, recover faith, and more. My experience with Clara is filled with awe as every session generates connections I never thought of. My time with her has consistently led to more clarity and improved self-awareness. I highly recommend her yet Clara is not for everyone. It takes courage to accept Clara as a coach. It also requires some self-realization that freedom only comes when one accepts and decides to tame fears.

Joanna Abou Jaoudeh

MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT @ GRAVITAS | UNIVERSITY LECTURER @ AUB

It is quite challenging to pick up the right words to express the joy of my journey working with Clara. It is a mixture of constant growth, pushing mental boundaries, and most importantly unlocking our potential.
Clara's approaches or methodologies revolve around self-improvement and self-empowerment. You are responsible to find the answers to your challenges - she will just guide you through with her amazing friendly, committed, and unconditionally caring nature.
Clara is now an ongoing part of my clarity journey and I stress on the importance of ongoing ... the journey never ends.. it is continuously evolving as long as you do (her words of wisdom)

Can't recommend enough this amazing human being... all the best!
