Ep. 8 Discipline Gets You What You Want

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.

Ep. 7 It's OK To Be A B*tch

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.
