What happens when you stop hiding your "too much" and embrace it as your superpower? Charli Lark found out after years of playing small.

"If the sun doesn't ask permission to shine, why should you?" asks host Alethea in this soul-stirring conversation about breaking free from society's expectations. Singer-songwriter Charli Lark shares her journey of reclaiming her dream after years of believing time had passed her by. She walked away from a restrictive marriage and environment to pursue music on her own terms, proving that purpose has no expiration date.

The magic happens when Charli reveals how her emotional depth—once criticized as being "too intense" or "dramatic"—became the very foundation of her artistry. "It's not a weakness; it's my gift, it's actually my power," she explains. This perspective shift offers liberation for anyone who's ever felt they need to tone themselves down to be accepted.

Their discussion expands beyond personal journey to explore songwriting as both intentional craft and mystical channel, the beauty of the LGBTQIA+ community "pushing boundaries by just being themselves," and how to stop comparing yourself to others. Charlie's upcoming music releases promise to showcase the full spectrum of her reclaimed voice—from summer anthems to dark club tracks.

Whether you're just starting to pursue a long-held dream or finding the courage to be fully yourself, this conversation reminds you that your story isn't over. As Alethea affirms, "Your dreams are valid and your story ain't over, baby, not by a long shot." Ready to create the life you want, unapologetically? Listen now and discover why your flaws might just be your greatest strengths.
