Uncovering Your Inner Drivers: Awareness To Relieve Stress And Find Fulfilment

With Clare Downham

Are you a high-achieving woman constantly battling stress, perfectionism, or burnout? Do you find yourself juggling endless responsibilities, always striving for more, yet feeling increasingly disconnected from true fulfilment? You’re not alone—and there’s a way out of this exhausting cycle. This course is designed to help you break free from the unconscious patterns that fuel your stress and overwhelm. But what you will learn here is not about adding more to your to-do list; it’s about deepening your awareness, so you can approach life with greater ease and balance. In just a few minutes each day, you’ll uncover the hidden drivers—like perfectionism, the need to be strong, or the urge to hurry up—that keep you stuck in a cycle of stress and dissatisfaction. Through this course, you’ll learn how to recognize these patterns and gently shift your perspective, allowing you to embrace a more peaceful, fulfilling life. Each lesson builds on the last, guiding you through a journey of self-discovery and growth, grounded in the principles of nonduality. You’ll come to understand that you are not your stress, your perfectionism, or your overwhelm. These are simply patterns of the mind that you can observe, understand, and move beyond. By the end of this course, you’ll experience a profound transformation—calm in the face of challenges, resilience in moments of stress, and a renewed sense of fulfilment in every area of your life. This is not just a course; it’s a path to a new way of being, one where you are deeply connected to your true self, living with ease, and achieving more by doing less. Join us on this journey and discover how to create a life where calm, resilience, and fulfilment are your everyday reality.

Lesson 1

Discovering Your Inner Drivers: The Key To Personal Awareness

Uncover the hidden forces shaping your life. In this lesson, we introduce Kahler’s Five Drivers—patterns that influence behaviour in unconscious ways. By understanding these drivers, high-achieving women can shift from autopilot to intentional living. You’ll begin to identify your dominant drivers and how they show up in your daily interactions, work, and decision-making. This is the first step toward greater awareness and, ultimately, inner freedom and ease.

Lesson 2

Be Perfect: From Perfectionism To Peace

Do you always strive to get everything "just right"? The Be Perfect driver can help you achieve excellence but can also lead to stress and self-criticism. In this lesson, you'll learn how to embrace imperfection and reframe what "perfect" really means. We will explore how nondual awareness can help you accept that everything is already enough—just as it is—and how this can lead to a more relaxed, peaceful way of being.

Lesson 3

Be Strong: Embracing Vulnerability As A Strength

The Be Strong driver teaches you to stay calm and composed, even in crises. But at what cost? In this lesson, we’ll discuss how this driver can make you feel disconnected from your emotions and others. By integrating nondual perspectives, you’ll learn that true strength comes from vulnerability and that being connected to your feelings is a gateway to deeper relationships and self-compassion.

Lesson 4

Hurry Up: Slowing Down To Find Balance

If you constantly feel like there’s not enough time, the Hurry Up driver may be dominating your life. This driver can help you accomplish a lot, but it often leaves you feeling frazzled and disconnected from the present moment. In this lesson, we’ll explore how slowing down—paradoxically—can help you achieve more and experience more ease. Through the lens of nonduality, you’ll realize that time is not something you must fight against.

Lesson 5

Please Others: Shifting From External Validation To Self-Compassion

The Please Others driver can make you a wonderful team player, but when taken too far, it can lead to burnout and loss of personal boundaries. This lesson will show you how to balance caring for others with caring for yourself. Through nondual awareness, you’ll discover that there’s no separation between yourself and others—when you prioritize your own well-being, everyone benefits.

Lesson 6

Try Hard: Moving From Effort To Ease

The Try Hard driver can keep you motivated, but it also leaves you chasing endless tasks and seeking approval. In this lesson, we’ll explore how to shift from efforting to allowing—from trying to trusting. Through a nondual approach, you’ll learn that success doesn’t come from trying harder, but from being present and aligned with your true nature. Let go of the strain and step into a flow state.

Lesson 7

Integration: Living Beyond The Drivers

In this final lesson, we’ll bring it all together. You’ve learned about the five drivers and how they influence your behavior. Now, it’s time to integrate this awareness into your daily life. Through nondual wisdom, you’ll understand that these drivers are not who you are—they are patterns of the mind. By living beyond the drivers, you’ll experience greater freedom, connection, and ease in every moment.

I enjoyed this course and saw that it opened my eyes to the drivers and their role in the sensations in my body that I should stop and listen too. One I will share! I would love to have a transcript available to I can re read the points.

I have really enjoyed this course! Although I already knew about the drivers, the relaxed and reflective style of the teaching helped me to be reminded of the new aspectes I want to look at. I think this course can be very helpful to all people, as we all have most of the drivers in some form. I especially appreciate the authenticity and personal stories for each of the drivers. Thank you!
