'Nothing changes if nothing changes...and something had to change' Under Water
Ray D’arcy Show
Claire recently joined The Ray D’Arcy Show to share her journey through fertility treatments—the challenges she faced, and to speak about the Scared Shitless episode on Fear & Fertility.
It’s a deeply personal topic—one Claire never imagined speaking about so publicly. But the experience of being childless not by choice is rarely discussed. The number of men and women who reached out after the interview made it clear: this is a story that needs to be heard more often.
Scared Shitless Podcast
A series that explores the other F word:
FEAR.
Scared Shitless dives into the role fear plays in our lives—how it holds us back and how it propels us forward.
Under Water
Shortlisted for An Post Sport Book of the Year, Claire’s bestselling, debut book was published in March 2023.
Claire spent her twenties living the life she thought she was supposed to live. Aged 32, single and living with her parents, she decided it was time to chart her own path. Booking a flight to South America, she let go of ‘at home Claire’ and opened herself up to a new world of possibilities.
It was here she discovered freediving. At 60 metres below the surface, Claire discovered a fresh perspective that transformed her life and helped her find freedom. Under Water is Claire’s candid and captivating story of how holding her breath taught her to live.
Talks & Workshops
In times of pressure and change, it’s not fear we need to eliminate—it’s fear we need to understand.
Claire Walsh inspires individuals and organisations to meet fear with courage, curiosity, and clarity. Drawing from extraordinary experiences in freediving and storytelling, she invites teams to move beyond comfort zones, embrace uncertainty, and unlock their full potential.
