From Burnout to Breakthrough: Claire Watson on Sisterhood, Healing & the Power of Zen Clubs for Kids

In this heartfelt and deeply inspiring episode of The Spark Changemakers Podcast, Nikki sits down with her sister, Claire Watson - educator, spiritual guide, and founder of Zen Clubs.

Claire shares her powerful journey from burnout and breast cancer to personal transformation and soul purpose. With warmth, wisdom and humour, she talks about the challenges of teaching, the impact of toxic stress, and how her healing journey helped her reconnect with childhood foundations of spirituality and self-awareness.

Together, Nikki and Claire reflect on growing up in a home filled with crystals, chakra charts, and angel cards - and how those early experiences have shaped their shared path. Claire opens up about the inner work that saved her life, including emotional healing, ancestral patterns, epigenetics, and the science of thoughts becoming biology.

Now, through Zen Clubs, Claire is bringing this knowledge to the next generation - offering children simple, powerful tools to understand emotions, shift thought patterns, and return to their inner spark.

This episode is a reminder that healing is possible, transformation is real, and our challenges can become our greatest teachers.

🌀 Topics covered:

  • Burnout and the pressures of the education system
  • Navigating cancer as a spiritual awakening
  • The science behind thoughts, emotions, and healing
  • Childhood spirituality and reclaiming your spark
  • Creating Zen Clubs to support children’s wellbeing

Whether you’re on a healing journey yourself, supporting young people, or seeking deeper meaning, this conversation is not to be missed.
