16 - What Clarice Barnett Had to Unlearn to Win

Joe Wanner Episode 16

"Detachment isn’t about giving up — it’s about making space for something better." – Clarice Barnett

The Shift That Changed Everything
 Clarice Barnett didn’t just leave a job — she left an identity built on burnout. After years in healthcare grinding through 80+ hour weeks, she made the quiet but bold decision to go all-in on herself. But what made the leap possible wasn’t strategy alone — it was years of internal work. Clarice grew up in a hard-working, middle-class home where money was tight and survival meant playing it safe. Breaking out of that mindset took time, intention, and a willingness to believe she was made for more.

What Detachment Really Means
 We talked about what it looks like to truly let go — not just of a job, but of beliefs. Clarice shares how detachment helped her release the fear around money, control, and outcomes she couldn’t force. It’s not about being passive — it’s about becoming powerful in a different way. She had to unlearn the idea that struggle equals worth, and that rest is something you earn. Now, she teaches other women how to do the same, from a place of alignment instead of anxiety.

Redefining Success From the Inside Out
 This isn’t a hustle story. It’s a healing one. Clarice shows that peace and purpose can live in the same room — if you're willing to stop proving and start listening. From creating freedom in her schedule to gifting her parents a trip to Italy, her version of success is rooted in presence. This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to become someone else to have more — you just have to stop clinging to who you’re not.
