Whenever I heard “discipline,” my stomach would knot up. It felt like punishment or a chore I didn’t want to face. For years, I saw discipline as a cage. But over time, I realized the truth: discipline is freeing. It’s the trait of winners.

In this episode, I get real about my journey with discipline. I share how my mindset shifted from doing “just enough” to truly committing to the practices that align with my goals. I’ll reflect on how B- effort gave me B- results—jobs I didn’t want, roles I outgrew, and a version of myself I wasn’t proud of. What finally woke me up was recognizing that change required more than frustration; it required discipline.

As the new year starts, I want to help you reframe discipline into something rooted in love and care for yourself. It’s not about perfection or punishment—it’s about showing up for yourself and creating your desired life.

It's OK to Be a B*tch | Charlie's Toolbox In this episode of Charlie's Toolbox, we explore the liberation that comes with embracing your inner voice, even when society labels it as being a "b*tch." Women who refuse to be governed by societal norms often face both subtle and overt forms of punishment—being excluded from opportunities, mischaracterized as unprofessional, or even subjected to outright hostility.

But what does it mean to be a "b*tch"? It's about unapologetically prioritizing your truth, setting boundaries, and confronting challenges head-on. It’s about releasing the emotional and physical burden of suppression and stepping fully into your power. Join me as we unpack how rejecting the tightrope of societal expectations can lead to true freedom and self-acceptance.

Welcome to Charlie’s Toolbox! In this week’s episode, we’re diving deep into the topic of money and its profound impact on our choices, behavior, and life trajectory. With the rise of tradwife content, it’s more important than ever to discuss what money means for women and the limitations that can arise when financial independence is out of reach.

Don’t Allow Your Critical Inner Voice to Control Your Destiny

In this episode of Charlie’s Toolbox, we dive into the relentless critical inner voice (CIV) that shapes how we dream, act, and perceive ourselves. Where does this voice come from? Why does it show up, and how can we stop it from sabotaging our goals?

Join me as I share my journey with the CIV, its roots in psychology, trauma, and social conditioning, and explore the coping mechanisms that can transform its impact. Learn how to challenge this voice, embrace new habits like sensory grounding or music visualization, and take back the reins of your destiny.

Tune in, reflect, and start rewriting your inner voice's narrative.
