What if the secret to losing weight isn't eating less, but learning how to eat better?

Someone recently asked me how much protein I eat, and it sparked a much bigger conversation about nutrition, building muscle, weight loss and why you should STOP copying someone else's diet.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why protein isn't the only macronutrient that matters, why carbohydrates are essential for building muscle and how so many women are consuming more calories than they realize without actually nourishing their bodies properly.

We're talking about:

• Why eating more doesn't necessarily mean eating more calories.
• Protein, carbohydrates and fats: understanding the balance.
• Common high-fat foods that can make weight loss more challenging.
• How to make smarter food choices without giving up the foods you love.
• The difference between losing weight and maintaining your results.
• How to stop dieting and start creating a sustainable lifestyle.

Your body is unique. Your goals are unique. Your nutrition should be too.

It's time to stop obsessing over food, stop comparing your plate to someone else's and start building a relationship with food that actually supports your life.

Because the goal isn't to diet forever. It's to create a lifestyle you love.

Want to go deeper? My book, Stop Abandoning Yourself, is available on Amazon.

What happens when you stop living by society's expectations and start creating a life that actually feels like yours?

In this episode, I'm sharing a personal life update, my recent move from Quintana Roo to Yucatán, and how attending my very first women's retreat changed the trajectory of my life.

I'll talk about stepping outside your comfort zone, questioning everything you've been conditioned to believe, building a life on your own terms, and why investing in yourself can be one of the most powerful decisions you ever make.

And we're bringing it back to WEIGHT LOSS.

Because just like society has conditioned us to live a certain way, women have been conditioned to believe that losing weight means eating less, exercising more, and constantly pushing harder.

But what if everything you've been taught about weight loss needs to be questioned?

We're talking about stress, sleep, nutrition, your relationship with food, and why sustainable weight loss starts with supporting your body instead of fighting it.

Plus, I'm sharing why retreats are so much more than a vacation and inviting you to join us for Level Up & Shine Retreat 7.0, March 8–13, 2027, in celebration of International Women's Day and my birthday.

If you're ready to stop putting yourself last, challenge the rules, and start creating a life you actually love, this episode is for you.

Stop waiting for permission. Your life is happening NOW.

I Don’t Owe You Shit: Protect Your Energy and Keep Shining

Not everyone is going to understand your boundaries, and not everyone is going to celebrate your growth.

In this episode, I’m getting real about a situation that reminded me why protecting my energy is so important. Someone donated money to support me, then asked for it back because I wasn’t responding to their social media messages.

Let’s talk about the difference between giving from the heart and giving with expectations. A donation is a choice, not a transaction that buys access to someone’s time, energy, or attention.

I believe in responding when I have the capacity to show up genuinely, not when I feel pressured, guilty, or obligated. Your energy matters. Your peace matters. And you don’t owe everyone immediate access to you.

The truth is, when you start growing, healing, setting boundaries, and stepping into your power, some people will try to dim your light. Don’t let them.

Keep protecting your peace. Keep raising your vibration. Keep becoming the woman you’re meant to be.

And whatever you do, keep shining your light so damn bright that you blind them.

Because you didn’t do all this work to abandon yourself just to make other people comfortable.

In this episode, we explore:

• Protecting your energy and setting healthy boundaries
• Giving without expecting anything in return
• Why nobody is entitled to your time or immediate responses
• Dealing with people who try to dim your light
• Staying grounded in your power while you grow and evolve

If this resonates with you, share it with a woman who needs the reminder.

Keep shining. Unapologetically.

Why do we hold on to people, relationships, careers, and versions of ourselves long after they've served their purpose?

In this deeply personal episode, I share a reflection inspired by a beautiful conversation in Tulum and a powerful lesson from my upcoming book, Stop Abandoning Yourself: Become the Woman You're Meant to Be.

We explore why not every ending needs to be a tragedy, how to embrace change without losing yourself, and why your worth is never determined by who stays in your life.

If you're navigating a relationship change, a new chapter, heartbreak, or the uncertainty of starting over, this episode is your reminder that you can appreciate the past without needing to return to it.

My book "Stop Abandoning Yourself" by Charlotte Mazur officially launches on Amazon on October 23, 2026.

You are allowed to grow. You are allowed to let go. And you are allowed to become the woman you're meant to be.

Have you ever spent so much time being everything for everyone else that you completely lost yourself in the process?

In this episode, we're talking about what it really means to stop abandoning yourself, rebuild your self-worth, and create a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.

For years, I know what it feels like to struggle behind the scenes, question your worth, and try to find your way back to yourself. My own journey from surviving to creating a completely different life taught me that transformation isn't about becoming someone else. It's about reconnecting with the woman you've always been beneath the fear, the expectations, and the patterns that have kept you stuck.

If you're a woman who feels overwhelmed, disconnected from herself, stuck in old patterns, or ready for a new chapter, this conversation is for you.

It's time to stop putting yourself last. It's time to choose yourself.

My book is launching Friday, October 23, 2026!

Stop Abandoning Yourself by Sharon Bazir will be available on Amazon. This book is for the woman who's ready to reclaim her self-worth, break old patterns, and become the woman she's meant to be.

If this message resonates with you, share this episode with a woman who needs the reminder that she matters, too.

Your next chapter starts when you stop abandoning yourself.

What if the reason you still feel unfulfilled isn't because you need to do more, lose more weight, make more money, or become someone else?

What if it's because you've spent years abandoning yourself trying to be everything for everyone?

In this deeply personal episode, I share the story behind my new book, Stop Abandoning Yourself: Become the Woman You're Meant to Be, and the life-changing moment that forced me to confront my own self-worth.

From battling body image struggles, an eating disorder, and self-doubt to leaving my teaching career, building an online coaching business, and moving to Mexico, my journey taught me something I wish I'd understood years ago: you can change your entire life on the outside and still feel broken on the inside.

I wrote this book for the woman who looks like she has it all together but privately feels exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, or never good enough.

The woman who overthinks everything, struggles with people-pleasing, puts everyone else first, and keeps chasing the next goal because she believes that one day she'll finally feel worthy.

In this episode, we explore the connection between self-worth, personal growth, body image, emotional healing, and the patterns that keep us stuck in cycles of self-sabotage.

Because real transformation isn't about becoming perfect. It's about learning to stop abandoning yourself in the process.

MY NEW BOOK IS COMING TO AMAZON!

Stop Abandoning Yourself: Become the Woman You're Meant to Be

Available in paperback on Amazon starting Friday, October 23, 2026.

This is more than a book. It's an invitation to stop chasing the woman you think you need to become and start choosing the woman you already are.

If this message resonates with you, share this episode with a woman who needs the reminder that she is enough.

How much of your life are you holding back because you're afraid of what other people will think?

In this episode, I'm getting real about self-worth, people-pleasing, confidence, and the pressure women put on themselves to look perfect, be perfect, and make everyone else happy.

I'm showing up in a T-shirt with a freshly washed face because I'm done believing we need to look a certain way to be seen, heard, and valued. It's time to stop performing for others and start showing up as our authentic selves.

I'll also share the story behind my upcoming book, Stop Abandoning Yourself: Become the Woman You're Meant to Be, and why learning to choose yourself is one of the most powerful things you can do.

If you've ever struggled with self-doubt, overthinking, setting boundaries, or worrying about other people's opinions, this episode is for you.

Your life is too precious to spend it trying to be someone everyone else approves of.

Your official book launch date will be announced soon!

It's time to stop abandoning yourself and start becoming the woman you're meant to be.

Are you constantly overthinking food, trying to eat perfectly, and doing more workouts but still struggling to lose weight? It might be time to stop trying harder and start doing things differently.

In this episode, Coach C explores why so many women, especially women over 40, develop a stressful relationship with food and how the pressure to do more, eat less, and control every detail can keep them stuck in the same frustrating cycle.

Inspired by a recent coaching conversation, we're diving into the connection between stress, emotional eating, food guilt, restriction, nervous system regulation, and sustainable weight loss.

You'll discover why constantly trying to be more disciplined isn't always the answer, how overthinking your meals can affect your relationship with food, and why doing less can sometimes be the missing piece in your health journey.

In this episode, we'll discuss:

• Why overthinking food can make weight loss feel harder than it needs to be
• The restriction, guilt, and emotional eating cycle
• How stress and overwhelm can influence your eating habits
• Why doing more isn't always better for your body
• How to stop labeling food as good or bad
• Three ways to build a healthier relationship with food
• Why sustainable weight loss starts with self-awareness, not self-punishment

If you're tired of dieting, obsessing over the scale, feeling guilty after eating, and constantly starting over, this episode is your reminder that you don't need another set of rules. You need an approach that supports your body, mind, and life.

It's time to stop abandoning yourself in the pursuit of weight loss and start building a relationship with food that feels peaceful, sustainable, and empowering.

Your next breakthrough might not come from doing more. It might come from finally giving yourself permission to do less.

What happens when you talk about emotional regulation, nervous system healing, spirituality and self-growth… and then you completely lose your shit?

This episode is raw, honest, and very human.

I’m talking about feeling overwhelmed, questioning whether I’m a fraud, taking on the responsibility of caring for five dogs, PMS, heightened emotions, and the moment I lost my shit over something that felt so small but clearly triggered something much bigger underneath.

I’m also sharing about my Bufo experience and what it taught me about spirituality, emotional regulation and being human. Because having a profound spiritual experience doesn’t mean you suddenly stop feeling angry, overwhelmed, frustrated or triggered.

We’re talking about the difference between emotional regulation and emotional suppression, why being responsible for your emotions doesn't mean staying silent, and why having boundaries and speaking your truth can be part of your growth.

Because sometimes you need to take a deep breath and let something go.

And sometimes you need to say:

“Hey. This isn't okay.”

This episode is about communication, boundaries, accountability, compassion, nervous system regulation, spirituality, emotional overwhelm and learning how to respond instead of react.

You don't have to be perfectly healed, perfectly calm or perfectly regulated to be doing the work.

You just have to be willing to come back to yourself.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, emotionally triggered, burnt out, frustrated, or like you've completely lost your shit… this one is for you.

What if taking care of yourself isn't selfish… but actually makes you a better human being?

In this episode, I’m getting real about what happens when women spend years putting everyone else first and slowly abandon themselves in the process.

I share what this looks like in my own life right now, from running my business and caring for five dogs to the very real moment when my two newest rescue dogs pooped on my freshly washed bed. 😂 In the past, I probably would have completely lost my shit. Today, I can pause, breathe, step away, regulate myself, and respond differently.

And that, to me, is real transformation.

You don't become healthier because your life suddenly becomes stress-free. You become healthier because you learn how to handle stress differently.

We talk about the connection between mind, body, and soul, why movement and fitness are about so much more than weight loss, and how taking even one hour for yourself can change the way you show up for everyone around you.

Because when I take care of myself, I have more patience.
I have more energy.
I'm more present.
I'm calmer.
I'm more grounded.

I'm a better human being.

We also dive into why women over 40 can struggle with self-care, burnout, emotional eating, stress, body image, and putting themselves first and why creating space for yourself isn't something you have to earn.

I'll also share why the first retreat I ever attended changed my life and ultimately inspired me to create my own Level Up & Shine Retreats in Tulum.

Sometimes you need to step away from your environment to see your patterns differently.

Sometimes you need to get out of the chaos to hear yourself again.

And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your health, your relationships, your body, and your future is simply choose yourself.

This episode is for the woman who is tired of constantly putting herself last and is ready to reconnect with her mind, body, and soul.

You don't have to become a different woman.

You just have to stop abandoning the one you already are.
