I’m Dr. Clare Sarah Goodridge—a certified Human Performance Coach, Philosophical Health Counsellor, and Leadership Consultant.

My work spans the full arc of life, from unlocking peak performance to guiding people through the deeper work of meaning-making and life’s profound transitions.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked with leaders, teams, creatives, and visionaries from organisations like Google, Meta, Microsoft, Disney, and Singularity University, and trained over 200 coaches as Head Performance Coach at the Flow Research Collective. Through this journey, I’ve seen that true flourishing isn’t just about achieving more—it’s about aligning what we do with who we are.

My approach integrates the science of human flourishing—how people grow, achieve, and live well—with the emerging field of philosophical health, which explores how we reflect, make sense of life, and act in harmony with our values. Together, these create a harmonised interplay between action and reflection, performance and purpose, living and leaving well.

I’m deeply passionate about supporting people at pivotal moments of change—young people stepping into adulthood, individuals navigating major life or career transitions, those who once found meaning in high performance but are now seeking something deeper, and people—and their families—preparing for the end of life.

My approach creates space to pause, ask braver questions, and reconnect with what truly matters:

• What if exhaustion isn’t a personal failing, but a sign that the way we’re living no longer makes sense?

• What if the version of “success” we’ve been chasing is the very thing keeping us unfulfilled?

• What would it mean to build a life—and a legacy—guided by meaning and integrity, even when the world pushes us in the opposite direction?

• What if true success is measured not by status or output, but by the impact we leave on the far future?

• What would it mean to expand your joyspan—to feel more moments of connection, gratitude, and wonder in everyday life?

• What if a meaningful life is less about constant achievement and more about living in alignment with your values, contributing to something bigger than yourself?

This same ethos shapes my work as a death doula. In life’s final chapter, the questions shift but the essence remains: What matters now? What do I want to leave behind and gift into the future? How can my final days reflect the story of my life?

Across every stage—early adulthood, midlife reinvention, or end‑of‑life transitions—my work is about helping people create lives of meaning, agency, and beauty, so they can live—and leave—the world in a way that feels true to who they are.

I founded The Future of Flourishing and LifeBeat. to bring this integrated approach to the world, creating programs, coaching, and communities that help people and systems flourish—across every stage of life. My style is playful, practical, and soulfully rigorous, weaving science, philosophy, and creativity into spaces where people can think clearly, feel deeply, and choose how they want to live—and, when the time comes, how they want to leave.
