On this week’s episode, our next guest is another friend/mentor that I met whilst on Koh Tao at Ban’s Diving Resort. She has become a role model for me and my friends, I nicknamed her “Mama Claud,” affectionately. Of course, our next guest is Miss Claudia Catlett from Arkansas, United States. Claudia was born in Mexico but was adopted during infancy by a Mexican mom and an American dad. She grew up to join the American Marines as the supply guy, she still gets great thanks every day for her service. Post-service, she attended college but at age 23 her path was changed when she was in a motorcycle accident. The accident severed her left arm and, tragically, it could not be reattached. Claudia shares the entire story with our listeners as well as her path to healing. She tells the story of how she and her boyfriend, Grant, met and how they ended up becoming scuba diving instructors together. For our listeners that know Claudia and Grant, this episode is a treat. For listeners that don’t, this woman has been through everything you could imagine and has persevered through it all. Her story is a beautiful one. Enjoy :)

On this week’s episode, Jessie is joined by a dear family friend and professional life coach: Kat Frati! Kat is the first American Jessie has brought on the podcast!  As a life coach Kat has a wealth of knowledge, life experience, and compassion for helping young people. Kat graduated from Tufts university and started her career as a software engineer, but after 16 years in the business and 4 children later, Kat was feeling burnt out. She turned to the Clifton Strengths to help her find her path forward. She’s now a Gallup-certified Strengths coach and works with young adults on how to use their “strengths” to their advantage. Her thought process is, “If you put all your energy towards fixing your weaknesses you will still only end up being average.” By tapping into our strengths we, as individuals, can live up to our very best potential. Kat was one of the very first people to encourage Jessie to create a podcast and has been it’s biggest fan and supporter ever since!

Welcome to the 10th episode of the “Let it Flow” podcast! On this week's episode of the podcast Jessie Rae brings on another friend she met whilst volunteering at Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand. Her guest, Clare Hebdige, moved around a bunch during her younger years, but her family eventually ended up in Singapore. Clare still calls Singapore home, though she has been in the United Kingdom for most of her higher education. She’s now studying to be a veterinarian! During this episode Clare and Jessie have an important conversation about animal tourism. Clare speaks about the five freedoms an animal needs to thrive and tells listeners what to look out for when engaging in animal tourism. Clare is a passionate animal advocate so she gives some great tips on what to look out for when booking an experience with exotic wildlife. While the pandemic begins to wind down in the UK, Clare shares about her future goals, travels, as well as a tidbit of life advice for listeners.
