In this episode, Claudia shares the deeply personal journey of how faith became the foundation for her life and leadership. From growing up in a Chinese American immigrant family in New York City, to building a multimillion-dollar women’s entertainment company, to burning out in her 30s—Claudia reflects on how church and discovering her relationship with God reshaped everything.
She opens up about meeting her husband John, being introduced to church for the first time, and how the messages she heard Sunday after Sunday gave her a new lens for leadership, wholeness, and purpose. This awakening inspired her to create S.H.E. Summit—a global leadership conference—and later the Whole-Self Leaders movement, both dedicated to equipping people to lead change from a place of integrity, courage, and faith.
Claudia also shares candid reflections on navigating politics, culture, and identity as a person of faith, why so much of our leadership DNA is rooted in spiritual teachings, and why this moment in history is calling us to slow down, reconnect with our soul, and lead from wholeness.
If you’ve ever wondered how faith can transform not just your inner life, but your ability to impact the world, this conversation will speak to you.
