Ever caught yourself keeping a habit alive, even though you know it’s doing nothing for you? In this episode, I’m talking about those quiet things we enable that quietly hurt us. I’ll share my own story with alcohol, and together we’ll look at how to flip it - making space for the things that actually support us instead.

This episode is a gentle reminder that too much of anything - even the good stuff - can throw us off balance. Whether it’s work, exercise, relationships, or routine, everything needs a little breathing room. Charmaine shares why creating space (in your days, your habits, your connections) isn’t about stepping away forever, but about letting things settle, shift, and surprise you. Sometimes it’s in the space between that the real magic happens.

What would you turn to if you took away all the noise? The books, the podcasts (yes, even this one), the endless content on your feed - gone. In this episode, I explore the quiet power of tuning out in order to tune in. It’s a gentle, honest look at what it means to trust yourself again, to listen to your body, and let your life, not the algorithm, guide the way. If you’re feeling pulled in a million directions, this one’s for you.

We don’t ask enough questions, especially the small ones that can lead to big change. In this episode, I share how a simple question I’ve returned to time and time again, has helped me navigate business, motherhood, creativity, and more. It’s a reminder to stay curious - to tune into what’s already here, and let that curiosity guide the small but powerful shifts that can bring new life to what’s already in front of us.

In this conversation, we look at how we show up in relationships - as a parent, a partner, a friend and ask the big question: Are you living in integrity with who you really are, or just playing a role?

I share a personal story about choosing to show up fully, even when it meant letting go. We explore the difference between genuine giving and performing, the discomfort that can come with change, and why choosing yourself first isn’t selfish, it’s how you make space for true connection. If you’ve ever felt tired of being who you think you should be, this one’s for you.

This week, we're unpacking guilt - knowing when it’s a sign you’ve gone against your own values, when it’s been projected onto you, or when you might be doing the same to others. We explore how to tell what’s yours and what’s not, how to make things right when needed, and how clear communication can change the way we relate to guilt, ourselves, and each other.

Who and what are you allowing to touch your life?

In this episode, I explore the quiet but powerful influence of proximity - how the people, environments, and energy you’re close to either support your growth or silently hold you back. From personal stories to reflection prompts, I speak to the emotional, physical, and energetic closeness that shapes who we become (and what keeps us stuck).

Whether you’re craving change, feeling held in place, or not sure why something feels “off,” this one’s for you. Because everything that touches you, changes you.
