The AMP (Al Mega Podcast) – Claude Racine

Al Mega welcomes Claude Racine, a dancer, social media influencer, and personal coach, to the program. She is a strong empowerment example for women. Claude explains that she was born in Montreal, Canada, but at age eight her father uprooted the family to Arizona where she learned English in two months. Seven years later, they moved to Arkansas. Claude is passionate about helping empower women to live the life they love.

The conversation focused on the speaker's experience with dance, starting when they were nine years old in Arizona and continuing until age 38 in Los Angeles. They discussed how they were bullied for dating interracially in Arkansas and how their dad helped them move to Los Angeles to pursue a professional dance career. The speaker mentioned that they started with jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, and tumbling and that jazz became their specialty, citing Michael Jackson and Paula Abdul as influences. They also touched on how Paula Abdul taught many stars today and how dancers often go underrated and misunderstood.

Claude is a former dancer of eighteen years who was forced to make a career change after the 2020 pandemic shut down the entertainment industry. With the added stress of having her son in January of 2020, Globe found herself suffering from postpartum depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. To help her out of her depression, Globe found an opportunity to do direct sales of makeup and skincare online, transforming her Instagram into a place to share her postpartum journey and help other women. Through her career as a dancer, Globe had already gained a following and then further grew her reach with a fitness video for Beachbody and by being open and honest about her postpartum depression. Claude encourages all women going through a similar situation to implement one positive habit, such as washing their face in the morning, as a way to help them feel better and start to better their lives.

They also chatted about how the speaker's relationship with her husband was affected by her becoming a new mom while feeling her worst. The speaker credits her husband for being there for her and encouraging her to take walks and work out even when she didn't feel like it. She acknowledges that while it was hard for both of them, it has made them stronger as a couple. The speaker also talks about her previous marriage of 25 years, saying that her heart still belongs there and that she will always be there for them no matter what. The conversation ends on the note that being responsible for someone else is a shared responsibility between a man and woman.

Highlights

I wish we get to see you live soon. One day. Speaking on stage, hopefully it'll professor something similar. Blessing the people with that energy and those wonderful words to empower them. Make them feel great. And, folks, you heard it again. Let me show up. Hit that instagram. She's presenting you a challenge at the end of this month, starting in March 1, and it's free. Your favorite four letter word that starts with F.. That's not bad. F-R-E-E. All right. Free.

 

So I'm sure you all have all heard this. Motivation is fleeting, right? I'm not motivated every day, but I'm disciplined as fuck. And I choose purpose. I choose to show up for my clients, my following, my family. I choose to show up for them. Like, this isn't about me and how I feel today, and I'm tired and, oh, no, my cramps are bad. It's about connecting to a much deeper purpose and staying disciplined and staying aligned, aligned with where you are, wanting to go.

 

Right there. Glow up with clothes right there. Honestly, it's also below. You could just go ahead and click away. Make it happen everywhere. Whether it's your phone tapping away your thumb, however you do it, get it done and do that. Follow right now and support an amazing entrepreneur with a mission to empower women, lead a healthier and better lifestyle. Find that happiness that life can bring in love, that self love.. Last thing here. How do you stay motivated? And what would you tell others in order for them to stay motivated?

So nobody knows when they're young. Like, okay, week three of your cycle. We're a little bit mentally fucked because of the hormonal shifts, but nobody knows that. So we get made fun of. People are like, she's crazy. Watch out. She's on her period. Like, oh, no, it's EMS, but there's actual shit going on in your body. But the thing is, you can help those symptoms be less if you have proper nutrition and proper exercise.. So now I'm obsessed with just helping women change their whole lives and their mental health, too, by understanding what the fuck is going on in our bodies and not being like, I'm a tiny man. We are not. Like, our bodies are so much more complicated.

 

Building muscle for women is so important, and not enough women do that. They're, like, spending all their time running, doing cardio. So I also got certified in functional nutrition because it was such a big piece to the puzzle that helped save me. So now I understand all the things about how gut health and liver health affect our hormones as women and why it is so much harder for us to lose weight and gain muscle and all the things we need to do to be able to stay on top of that.
