You're In. Welcome to Adventure to Awaken.

Thanks for confirming your email! I’m Clara. You're in the right place if something in you knows there's more — more aliveness, more presence, more of a life rooted in who you actually are.

Twice a month you'll get honest, first-person stories — along with practices and lessons from my own journey back to myself. Free.

Here are three posts from the archive to catch you up on what I'm writing about. You can explore the full Adventure to Awaken archive here.

869 Days Later, I’m Starting Over

What breaking an 869-day meditation streak taught me about mindfulness, burnout, and the courage to begin again.

What AI Can’t Replace

AI can mimic creativity, but not consciousness. On felt emotion, real experience, and what it means to live a life.

Tips for A Better Reading Experience

If your email app is in dark mode, I recommend reading the newsletter on the website — just click "View in browser" at the top of any email. The site works on mobile or desktop. But some design elements don't yet invert in email apps for dark mode, and may appear unreadable otherwise. The same goes for photo and video-heavy issues. When in doubt? View in browser. 😉
