Reflection Series: Clarity, Truth, and Voice Revisited

Why did you choose this design?

The beauty about allowing ourselves to be known is that we are actually reflected back through the gifts others give us. Claudia is an empath and a brilliant designer. Anyone lucky enough to know her or become a client will always be exquisitely “seen.”

 

How does it make you feel when you wear your Claudia Endler Design?

Strong.

 

How has this reflection piece helped you?

OMG, where to start?!? To keep a long story short. My startup failed in that I didn’t reach the lofty goals we set out to achieve. After investing much of our savings (alongside my angel investor’s money) we barely scraped by for a few years. During which our daughter struggled with addiction issues that called our entire family to the table. Clarity, Truth and Voice literally have been the touchstones and saving grace of our lives.
A year ago, we moved to Aspen with no game plan in mind and had blind faith that all would turn out even better than well. Our new abode sits on the river bank looking out at the mountains. I’m honored to be the Executive Director of Aspen Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit created to foster startup founders who want to build local businesses, become the next generation of leaders, and give back to the community. It’s awesome and I could have never imagined that this would be the end result of “going big or going home” as the fellas like to say in tech. I actually got to do both by having the courage to fail.
