I was listening to a podcast recently by Alex Sanfilippo, where he discussed the concept of focusing on the process rather than the outcome. I've learned over the years that it really is best to detach as much as possible from outcomes because expectations can lead to disappointments as well as prevent us from recognizing even better opportunities.Alex’s particular real-life example resonated with me, and I appreciated how it really illustrated the concept well. I wanted to share it with you because while you likely have heard about the idea of detaching from outcomes, you may still be wondering how to actually put that into practice in your life. What You’ll Learn:- A simple and effective real-life example to showcase the importance of focusing on consistency and the process instead of fixating on outcomes- How detaching from specific results can lead to greater fulfillment and open doors to unexpected opportunities- Practical strategies to shift your focus to what you actually can control - The art of embracing the journey, transcending expectations, and finding beauty in uncertaintyResources: - Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (Ditch Life's Guilt & Anxiety — Finally Find More Peace of Mind) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/

I was recently reminded of an experience during a guided meditation I did a few years ago that brought about some insightful messages about navigating life’s storms. Listen in as I describe the impactful moments from the meditation, such as standing next to a calm cow amidst tornadoes surrounding us, as well as a moment when I found peace in the eye of the storm.I also touch on the importance of discerning between our fear-based self and our calmer, wiser self when receiving messages and guidance. This episode encourages you to pay attention to any thoughts, feelings, or images that arise and trust the wisdom within you so that you can find peace and clarity amidst the chaos of life.What You’ll Learn:- The details of the visuals, thoughts, and feelings that came up for me during a memorable guided meditation a few years ago- How to discern between messages coming from your fear-based self and your calmer, wiser self- Two concepts connected without letting yourself get swept up in the chaos of life’s storms- How to navigate life's challenges by tapping into your inner compass and intuitionYou can’t settle the storm; your power exists in the ability to settle yourself. Resources: - Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (Ditch Life's Guilt & Anxiety — Finally Find More Peace of Mind) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/

Recently, I had a transformative experience with breathwork facilitated by Anna Parker-Naples. This session was unlike any other breathing exercises I've tried. The result was that I felt as if I rewired my brain, shifting some deeper layers of some beliefs that were holding me back in some new ways. During the session, vivid images emerged from different periods of my life, ranging from a time my mom took care of me as a child when I was sick to exhilarating moments of freedom, like when I jumped out of an airplane. Towards the end, a memory surfaced of a compliment I’d received years ago that truth be told, was haunting me — “Charis, everything you touch turns to gold!” — While this is a well-intended compliment, it brought with it an enormous amount of pressure. It seemed to surface out of the blue, and here’s the best part: I watched it transmute into a powerful new message: I AM the gold. *mic drop moment*. This breathwork session was another reminder to me that everything we need resides within us, and we just need to let it flow and trust ourselves.What You’ll Learn:- My experience with breathwork and the profound impact it had on me- What my personal mantra is and how it aligns with this experience- The concept of imperfect coaches and how nobody has everything figured out- My own struggles with perfectionism and the fear of disappointing others- How releasing expectations can bring greater freedom and balance into your lifeResources: - Anna Parker-Naples’ Breathwork Facilitation: https://www.annaparkernaples.com/breathwork121sales - Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (Ditch Life's Guilt & Anxiety — Finally Find More Peace of Mind) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/

In this episode, I reflect on some old hand-written notes I found from a few years ago when I was going through a phase of busyness and feeling out of touch with my emotions. You may be able to relate to them. Things like…I work too much.I can’t sit still.I must be perfect.(to name a few)I challenged those thoughts by exploring the truth which were things like…I have created amazing things due to my drive and passion.I choose to believe I can find my stillness.I choose connection over perfection.(to name a few)Most of our daily thoughts are not true, yet we often let them run our lives as if they are facts. Personal growth is an ongoing process with many messy transitions. Despite moments of self-doubt, I can now acknowledge the significant changes I’ve made in controlling my thoughts and emotions, instead of letting them control me.What You’ll Learn:- The rest of the frustrating thoughts and liberating truths that I found in my old notes- The power of challenging sabotaging thoughts and replacing them with the truth- Embracing personal growth and acknowledging the positive changes in yourself- Understanding that personal transformation is an ongoing process with messy transitionsResources: - Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (Ditch Life's Guilt & Anxiety — Finally Find More Peace of Mind) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/

In this episode, I share with you a lucid dream I had recently about my Mom, who passed away nearly ten years ago. It’s no surprise that this would happen close to Mother’s Day because that’s the time of year that I tend to become the most emotional when thinking about her. It’s typically the time that I tend to feel the most sadness and grief. I think of her often, especially around Thanksgiving, since that’s when she passed, but leading up to Mother’s Day is when I FEEL her. And even though this is something that I notice each year, it somehow sneaks up on me and surprises me.What You’ll Learn:- The details of the lucid dream I had recently that included a visit from my Mom- The healing process of dealing with the loss of a loved one and the role that dreams can play in that process- The significance of my dream and the messages it conveyed- The importance of trusting your intuitive thoughts and feelings- The acceptance of grief and the value of emotional connections with loved onesI treasure moments when I feel more connected to her. I want to have times when I’m more emotional because that means I’m human and I’m living. And being able to feel and express these waves of emotions, even when they are painful, means I’m more connected to myself. You can also listen to more about the importance of feeling our feelings on my recent bonus Charis Chats episode with Rhonda Britten (link below).Resources: - Recent bonus episode “Charis Chats with Rhonda Britten – Fearless Living”: https://pod.fo/e/17996c- Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (Ditch Life's Guilt & Anxiety — Finally Find More Peace of Mind) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/

This episode is a full-circle moment. This very special guest introduced me to life coaching 11 years ago and helped me peel back my protective layers so that I could, as she famously says, “live the life my soul intended.” If it weren’t for her, I most likely would not be a life coach and this podcast wouldn’t exist.  Rhonda Britten – Emmy Award-winner, Repeat Oprah guest, Master Coach – has changed lives in over 600 episodes of reality television including starring in the hit daytime reality show, "Starting Over," is the author of four bestsellers including her seminal work, “Fearless Living” and is the Founder of the Fearless Living Institute, home of the Ivy League of Life Coaching Training (where I got my coaching certification).Rhonda and I share memories of how we met at a business conference over a decade ago and how she became my coach.Rhonda also talks about how she was one of the very first life coaches (ever), including the immensely powerful story of her life that led her to create Fearless Living. If anyone ever had an excuse to let their life be ruled by fear, it would be Rhonda, yet she did not let fear win; she chose freedom.What You’ll Learn:- How Rhonda and I met - Rhonda’s perspective of me and my journey, including me being a recovering perfectionist- What happened when Rhonda was 14 that shaped her remarkable life and ultimately led her to create Fearless Living - How Rhonda Britten became a life coach — including an amazing story she’s only recently started sharing publicly- The concept and philosophy behind Fearless Living (which is the foundation of my coaching/training as a Certified Fearless Living Coach and Certified Fearless Trainer)- What “fear” and “freedom” mean in the world of Fearless Living- The importance of taking responsibility for your own life and how you can make positive changes by taking ownership of your thoughts and actionsYou can also watch the video of this interview on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/y5T8HVXvGzUResources: - Get Your Free Chapter From Rhonda’s Best Selling Book Change Your Life In 30 Days! https://fearlessliving.org/chapter-cyl- Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (Ditch Life's Guilt & Anxiety — Finally Find More Peace of Mind) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/

Do you ever feel like you’re struggling to take care of everyone else’s needs and are feeling guilty about wanting to take more time for yourself?Self-care is so much more than some massages, or drinking water, or getting a good night’s sleep. Self-care really starts with taking back your power through self-awareness and self-trust.The first step in this way of looking at self-care is self-awareness so that you can catch yourself whenever you give away your power. All you need is the willingness to change, plus the right tools and some practice.What You’ll Learn:- The importance of self-awareness and self-trust in developing a foundation for self-care- How people give away their power and how to take it back- Why taking care of yourself first is not selfishResources: - Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (Ditch Life's Guilt & Anxiety — Finally Find More Peace of Mind) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/
