Be Boujee Be True Be You

There are people who love and embrace change and then, there are people (like me) who finds change reeeeally uncomfortable (even when it is a positive and exciting change). 

Sometimes that change is a new job, moving to a new location, a breakup or even a death. There are times when some of these changes are our choice and more often, change happens and we have to pivot in a new direction when we just didn't see it coming.

In this episode I discuss how to navigate those pivots and changes, even when they completely blindside us, how to create a new direction when the one you thought you were moving in comes to an abrupt end and why although it might feel safe when things don't change, it doesn't mean we are always better off with some things always staying the same...

Controlling or creating the narrative is something that happens almost every day, even if its when you don't want to admit you ate the last row of the chocolate bar in the fridge when you know it was for someone else!

Controlling the narrative scales from the little white lies we tell others (or even ourselves), to much bigger lies, manipulation, reactive abuse and gaslighting, which can have such damaging affects to those involved. 

In this episode I discuss the different reasons why we may feel the need to control the narrative, even when we have the best of intentions, reactive abuse and how to handle a situation when someone is creating a false narrative about you.

If anything you have heard in this episode has made you think you may be a victim of reactive abuse, you can find out more information here:

Keeping a long-term relationship/marriage happily together throughout your twenties and into your thirties is not an easy thing to do (as so many of us know).

The majority of us spend a large part of our twenties just trying to figure out what it means to be an adult! We are continuously learning what traits and characteristics we like, what our values are and over all the kind of person we want to be and the vision we have for our future and often, by the time we approach the age of 30, that vision has changed, maybe more than once.

Clarice Harrison, (also known as Outzilla) is a Mindset & Meditation Coach who, during her twenties transformed herself from an anxious people pleaser, into a happy, calm and confident women all while maintaining her relationship of over 10 years.

Clarice shared how working on yourself and putting yourself first can create huge benefits for both your partner and your relationship.

How to create self trust and how that self trust will keep you calm, grounded and stop an over reaction, even in the most stressful of times throughout your relationship.

Finally, we discuss the issue of why so many relationships that began in the couple's late teens/early twenties end up breaking down by the time they reach the age of 30 and how we can not only make sure our relationships & marriages survive this time, but thrive and have the most loving, fulfilling and happy connection.

One of the scariest parts of going through a divorce is the legal process.

If you are someone (like me) who has never had to deal with solicitors before, it can be hard to understand what their role is throughout your divorce and how to know the best way of working with one.

Solicitors and divorce are a very complex, sensitive topic and in this episode I share the human experience of how to know which solicitor is right for you and how to ensure their priority is you and what the best outcome should be for both parties.

I also discuss how to navigate dealing with the other side and their solicitors process, especially if they work in a different way to you and your solicitor. 

Finally, I share a couple of examples of letters that can feel intimidating but don't always mean what they appear to, and what you you DON'T need to worry about.

Finding out that your husband/wife/partner has had or, is currently having an affair can feel like one of the most devastating things that can happen to us.

Every relationship and every situation are unique and nothing is ever black and white (no matter how much we would like it to be!).

In this episode, I sit down with one of my oldest and closest friends Natasha, who bravely opened up and shared her experience of discovering that her husband and partner of eight years, had been involved in a long term affair. 

We discussed their relationship from the beginning, any initials signs and when they arose, how her intuition/gut feeling played a vital part when initially she had no hard facts to go by and, how she rebuilt her life after it was turned upside down.

If you have any questions around anything that was discussed, please do not hesitate to reach out via instagram @charlottejonespresents.

When we hear the saying "there is light at the end of the tunnel", it can often be followed by a mixed response in fact, if we are going through a difficult period, it can be the last thing we want to hear.

In the first episode of season three, I share a life update with you, how I am finding life after divorce (including the real picture of what can happen once everything has been finalised and you begin to move forward).

I also share how letting go and trusting the process was the best decision I ever made and why.

Finally, I chat about how in the darkest times throughout the last two years, when people would tell me there is a light at the end of the tunnel and quite frankly, I would want to blow a raspberry in their face, the action I took to bring said light closer to me and leave the negativity in the past.

Being treated fairly in an emotional situation is, I feel, such a complex statement to make. 

It can be so hard to find the line between wanting to be treated fairly and equally to realising we are just projecting our frustration and hurt on the person or situation. 

In the final episode of season two, I discuss my views on different situations I have been in over the last two years, where I feel I have been treated unfairly or I have wanted to stand up for myself and share my truth and what the repercussions were of making this choice.

I would love to know your thoughts, you can message me on instagram @charlottejonespresents.

See you in 2022 for the start of season three of 'Be Boujee Be True Be You'!

Until I spoke with Amie Jay, I had never heard of the "Taylor Swift Effect".

In this episode, singer/songwriter Amie Jay discusses how she bravely uses personal experiences in her life such as her breakups and romantic relationships to create her music and how this has not only helped her to process difficult situations, but also make big decisions when it comes to her relationships.

Amie and I also spoke about the different ways male and female singer/songwriters are portrayed in the music industry for using their personal lives to inspire their music.

This last week I have felt a lot of heartbreak. My cat passed away and quite honestly has left a huge hole in my life.

What I very quickly realised is just how much I had been relying on him in this last 18 months while I navigate the break down of my marriage and starting over.

This episode is not to give advice, it is purely sharing a personal experience of something that has happened very recently and how I have realised our pets can and do support us through the most difficult times in our lives.
