In this special episode, we’re bringing you a powerful conversation with Shawna Wells—host of Legacy, Lyrics, and Life and founder of 7Gen Legacy.

Shawna is known for guiding leaders into deeper alignment with their work, their story, and the legacy they’re here to live—not just leave. She helps people name the lessons and gifts passed down through generations—and decide which ones they want to pass forward.

Together, we talk about what it means to remember who you are, to listen to your lineage, and to build a future that honors both. And in the final part of the episode, Shawna offers a live coaching session with Claudia—an intimate, moving exchange that explores how legacy lives in our choices, our questions, and our courage to see things clearly.

If you’re someone who’s navigating big transitions, big dreams, or simply wondering what you're here to carry forward—this one’s for you.
