Claire Smith

Claire Annelise Smith, PhD, aka Dr. Claire, is an author, speaker, and spiritual mentor and coach with Blazing Star Network, a professional training and spiritual coaching firm.

A big believer in living optimally, Dr. Claire helps leaders in transition organize their busy lives to have more time to connect with themselves, the people they love most, and God … without stress and guilt.

Dr. Claire is no stranger to the busyness and stress that keep leaders from living optimally as they try to be and do everything for everyone. She spent many years in various leadership capacities. She worked as a program director in higher education in the US, pastored multiple churches, and served as the national youth coordinator for her denomination in Guyana.

Having lived and worked in different cultural contexts, Dr. Claire has lived a life filled with transitions. Moreover, she understands diversity in a unique way.

Dr. Claire’s past and present work influences her writings. Complete with action steps and activities, her most recent book, Help! I Want Out! What to Do When You Are Stressed-Out From Keeping It All Together, was published in 2021. As Kendra Thompson noted, It is helping people to move to “better living that is grounded in healthy choices, spiritual care, and decisive action.”
