Description

Welcome back to Happy Go Fabulous! In this episode, Catherine sits down with the fabulous Claire Miles – a branding photographer, visual strategist, and creative mind behind Oak Street Creative Co. Claire helps women show up online with scroll-stopping photos and visual strategies that feel fun, relaxed, and totally on brand.

But today’s chat goes deeper than business. Claire opens up about living with aphantasia – the inability to visualise images in the mind’s eye. Together, Catherine and Claire explore how this unique way of experiencing the world influences creativity, memory, business, and even meditation.
