We Are Woman

In this episode, we open the space for Sara’s story and meet her in the places that shaped her. It is an invitation to meet the human behind the voice of this space, and to understand what has informed her path, her work, and her relationship to being a woman.Sara shares her journey from entering the international modelling industry at 14 to the slow, repetitive conditioning that shaped her relationship with her body, women, and worth. We explore how outward success can exist alongside inner disconnection, and how her breaking point became the beginning of a deeper inquiry: who am I beyond performance, beyond image, and beyond being chosen?From shaving her head as a reclaiming to her first profound experience of FBR Breathwork in Bali, Sara speaks candidly about moving from perfectionism, control, and hypervigilance into embodiment, rest, receiving, and the kind of clarity that comes from living inside the body again.Sara de Clercq Contact - saralisadeclercq@gmail.com1.1 Coaching & Self-Inquiry (Online) → ⁠⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠⁠1.1 FBR Breathwork (Byron surrounds) → ⁠⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠⁠Couples FBR Breathwork (Byron surrounds) → ⁠⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠⁠For inspiration on creative, authentic & radiant living, loving life & amazing free content, follow Sara on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠Bec SharpContact - Rebecca@thesharpmind.com.au1.1 Psychotherapy (Sydney North or Online) → ⁠⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠⁠1.1 FBR Breathwork (Sydney North) → ⁠⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠⁠For embodied wisdom, stories from the heart, and practices that bring you home to yourself, follow me on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠Melissa MossContact - melissamossbreathwork@gmail.com1.1 FBR Breathwork (Sydney South) → ⁠⁠⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠For soulful, honest reflections, lived-in insight, and an inside look at Mel’s work as a practitioner, follow Mel on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠.Find out more about our upcoming FBR Practitioner Training with Breathwork Byron starting in April 2026 → ⁠⁠⁠FIND OUT MORE HERE⁠⁠⁠Resources + LinksWe Are Woman Podcast website:⁠⁠⁠ https://www.wearewoman.com.au/⁠⁠⁠Follow along on Instagram: @wearewomanpodcastIf this episode resonates, share it with a woman you love because we’re not meant to do this alone.What is FBR Breathwork?

In this episode of We Are Woman, we slow power right down and ask a different question: what is power, really? Not the performative kind, and not dominance, confidence, or control, but the kind you can actually feel in your body. The kind that is steady, grounded, and quietly alive.We explore power as capacity: the ability to stay connected to yourself, your truth, your inner signals, and your boundaries while still being in relationship with the world. We speak to the ways power becomes distorted through conditioning, especially for women, how unclaimed power can turn into resentment, and why embodied power often looks like softness, surrender, and presence rather than loudness or force. Along the way, we weave in the nervous system, breath mechanics, and how early developmental stages shape our sense of agency, safety, and self-trust.This conversation is an invitation to reconsider what power feels like when it’s rooted in the body. To notice where you’ve equated power with control or performance, and what becomes possible when power is allowed to be quiet, relational, and deeply grounded.Thank you for listening to this episode. There are several ways you can work with us to deepen your own practice of returning to yourself and finding more safety, clarity and truth within.Sara de Clercq Contact - saralisadeclercq@gmail.com1.1 Coaching & Self-Inquiry (Online) → ⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠1.1 FBR Breathwork (Byron surrounds) → ⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠Couples FBR Breathwork (Byron surrounds) → ⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠For inspiration on creative, authentic & radiant living, loving life & amazing free content, follow Sara on Instagram ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠Bec SharpContact - Rebecca@thesharpmind.com.au1.1 Psychotherapy (Sydney North or Online) → ⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠1.1 FBR Breathwork (Sydney North) → ⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠For embodied wisdom, stories from the heart, and practices that bring you home to yourself, follow me on Instagram ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠Melissa MossContact - melissamossbreathwork@gmail.com1.1 FBR Breathwork (Sydney South) → ⁠⁠⁠BOOK HERE⁠⁠⁠For soulful, honest reflections, lived-in insight, and an inside look at Mel’s work as a practitioner, follow Mel on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠.Find out more about our upcoming FBR Practitioner Training with Breathwork Byron starting in April 2026 → ⁠⁠FIND OUT MORE HERE⁠⁠Resources + LinksWe Are Woman Podcast website:⁠⁠ https://www.wearewoman.com.au/⁠⁠Follow along on Instagram: @wearewomanpodcastIf this episode resonates, share it with a woman you love because we’re not meant to do this alone.What is FBR Breathwork?

This week on We Are Woman, we sat with Bec, founder of The Sharp Mind and a Strategic Psychotherapist who works in partnership with your nervous system. Using transformative modalities including Facilitated Breath Repatterning (FBR) breathwork, hypnotherapy, somatic practices, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), Bec helps you restore balance and healing.In this episode, Bec shares what it’s like to live with deep sensitivity and responsibility, and a nervous system shaped by both love and vigilance.She speaks openly about the fear of being “too much,” how hyper-responsibility became an identity, and the ways generational trauma can shape patterns of alertness and self-monitoring. She also shares her bottom-up approach to healing, why the body comes before the mind, and what makes nervous-system work, including FBR Breathwork, so different through safety, sequencing, co-regulation, and gently expanding capacity without force.This conversation is for the woman who carries a lot, often without realising how much, and for those of us living in a body that doesn’t know how to truly rest. It’s an invitation to meet sensitivity not as a burden, but as a strength, and to remember that responsibility can be a choice, not an identity.Thank you for listening to this episode.

Authenticity isn’t something we do alone. It’s something we practice in relationship. In the moments we’re seen, challenged, mirrored, and held.In this episode, we explore the dance between authenticity and belonging. We discuss the ways we shapeshift to be accepted, the masks we wear to stay connected, and the deeper truth underneath it all that belonging isn’t about fitting in, it’s about being met.We speak to shame as the invisible bridge that disconnects us from both authenticity and belonging, the role of attachment and nervous system safety, and why healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in the face of each other. This is a conversation about coming home to yourself, without abandoning yourself to stay connected.Thank you for listening to this episode.

What if the safety you’ve been chasing externally… was never going to land?In The End of Holding It All Together, we explore safety as a lived, embodied experience. We discuss how control can masquerade as safety, the childhood blueprints that shaped our nervous systems, and what it means to build steadiness from within (even when fear and uncertainty are present). This is an invitation to soften the bracing, honour the pace, and remember: safety isn’t the absence of discomfort, it’s the presence of you.In this episode, we explore:The shift from external reassurance to internal safetyAdaptive vs maladaptive patterns (and running “old programs” on autopilot)Signs of safety in the body (hello, jaw tension)Pacing, capacity, and expanding your window of tolerance“Shalom” as wholeness — safety as a return to what’s true and wholeFollow We Are Woman on ⁠Instagram⁠Download the FREE Woman Leader’s guide made by Sara de Clercq to Optimal Health, Wholeness, and Radiance: Harnessing Breath, Body, Emotions & Mind for Sustainable Success. → ⁠DOWNLOAD HERE⁠There are several ways you can work with us to deepen your own practice of returning to yourself and finding more safety, clarity and truth within:Sara de Clercq 1.1 Coaching & Self-Inquiry (Online) → ⁠BOOK HERE⁠1.1 FBR Breathwork (Byron surrounds) → ⁠BOOK HERE⁠Rebecca Sharp 1.1 Psychotherapy sessions (Sydney North or Online) → ⁠BOOK HERE⁠1.1 FBR Breathwork (Sydney North) → ⁠BOOK HERE⁠For plenty of free tools and great content, follow Bec on ⁠Instagram ⁠Melissa Moss1.1 FBR Breathwork (Sydney South) → email melissa.k.moss@gmail.comFind out more about our upcoming FBR Practitioner Training with Breathwork Byron starting in April 2026 → ⁠FIND OUT MORE HERE

Thank you for listeningThis first episode is a love letter to our sisters. It's an opening into the conversations we're here to have together. We share why this podcast exists, what we're exploring, and the space we're creating: one rooted in depth, embodiment, honesty, and connection.This is not a podcast about fixing yourself or becoming someone new. It's an invitation to stop performing, soften into your body, and explore what it really means to be a woman beneath the roles, expectations, and stories we've inherited.If you're craving something slower, truer, and more relational, you're in the right place.
