Change By Choice

A few weeks ago, I sat down with a dear friend, Dr. Diana Draper. She has spent the last 10+ years on her educational journey, working tirelessly to become a naturopathic doctor and open her own private practice. A year ago, she made the bold decision to pause and step away from her private practice. In this episode, we talk about pushing forward in the uncomfortable moments of life, how to break free from the titles that we link to our identities and how to honor and really listen to the signals that your body is sending you to help guide you through this life. Sometimes in life, we get these key messages sent to us telling us that something is not in alignment; we aren’t happy with something and we either need to drop it or make a change around it. But it’s hard to listen to those messages because quite frankly, those choices are scary and we often aren’t ready to make those big decisions. Diana shares what that process was for her when she was receiving signs that a big choice and change needed to happen w

It doesn’t matter what degrees you have. What credentials are behind your name. What experience you have.   Sure, those things will “get the job done”.  But they don’t make you a great leader.  In this week’s podcast, I’m going to share my thoughts about the 5 things that DO make great leaders - and not one of them has to do with your education, your credentials, your experience or your knowledge

Enough is enough.  I am coming from a place of privilege. I will never know what it feels like to be judged solely by the color of my skin. I will never know what it feels like to live in fear of the people who, to everyone else, are the ones they seek for safety. I will never understand what it feels like to overcome prejudice of this nature.  But I do know suffering. I do understand grief.I do feel extreme pain when I see suffering. I don’t always know what will help, and I have often felt at a loss for what I can do to help in these horrific situations.  I do believe we are all one and we are all living a human experience. And if you’ve heard the stories and seen the videos and heard the pleas from George Floyd’s mouth - then I’m sure you felt it as deep to your core as I did. (Along with all of the horrible stories that have led up to this point) Because I didn’t just see George. I also saw Ahmaud.I saw my children. I saw your children. I saw my neighbors. I saw myself. I saw you.  Enough is enough.  If

Whether you're building an online business or working for a company or anything in between, I want you to create something that is truly your own.    We are so bombarded with incredible information and content and people who inspire us. But where we need to be careful is that line between being inspired and trying to recreate exactly what someone else is doing. And a lot of times, we do it without any intention of it or without even knowing it. It’s really easy to get so inspired that it really just impacts what you are creating.    I want to share with you my top 5 tips to create content that will feel aligned and have an incredible, ethical base - all while staying in your lane.  ****   To join the waitlist for Charlotte’s upcoming program, The Shifted Business Academy, and to get connected content and updates head here. https://bit.ly/SHIFTEDBusinessAcademy    In the SBA, we help purpose-driven entrepreneurs build their freedom life and high-value digital businesses as leading experts in their field.

Lauren is a Certified High Performance Coach and the co-creator of Mojo Mastery. I always admire Lauren for her openness and ability to be so vulnerable; we can all learn so much from each other and we connect on such a deeper level when we all let our guards down a little.

Brendon Lundberg is the founder and CEO of Radiant Pain Relief Centres and the author of the Amazon Best Selling book, Radiant Relief, A Case For A Better Solution To Chronic Pain. His mission is to really change the way chronic pay is both managed and understood, but his message and really our entire conversation is about so much more than just pain. As Brendon said, “it’s about every human’s desire to become a better version of themselves and fight through the thing that is their biggest challenge.” For Brendon’s clients, that challenge is pain. Pain is a very human experience. We all experience it, whether physical, emotional or metaphorical, but it’s uncomfortable. We hate it. And the natural tendency with things we hate is to avoid. We mask it. We don’t want to deal with it because it doesn’t feel good. Brendon’s approach goes way beyond short term, band-aid solutions. His revolutionary approach really comes down to retraining the brain. You can find out more at www.radiantrelief.com 

There’s a story we tell ourselves when we see someone’s successes. We get captivated and we start to make assumptions about the results that we see someone else achieve. “Oh they’re so lucky” “Everything must be so easy and fantastic” “She must just have everything she wants”. The reality is that regardless of the followers or the success or the results, is that there is still lots of struggle there. It’s not easy by any means; struggle doesn’t just avoid the people who are successful. Krystal Sutherland is the perfect example; she has 1.3 million Instagram followers and her life and full time career is being an online social media influencer. Krystal joined me for this episode of Rebel and Rise and she got really real about the fact that despite feeling so blessed and grateful for the life and career that she has, it still comes with its share of challenges. You definitely want to listen to this episode; Krystal gets real about her insecurities and how she’s tackled them, how she balances a full time car

Anger. Frustration. Your blood starts to boil. You feel triggered and extremely unsettled. How do you typically react in those situations? And how do you typically feel afterwards about yourself and the way you handled it?   Not everything around anger is bad. We think it is, because usually when we are angry we react and respond in a way that isn’t aligned with our best selves and leaves us feeling badly about ourselves. But if we can learn to take some space between how we are feeling and how we are reacting, and if we really start to use that fire and frustration to fuel us moving forward, then it can be a powerful thing.   Anger in our lives CAN be a good thing. It can do us some service. In this episode, I want to start to break down how to USE those times where we are triggered, angry and frustrated and channel it in a way that’s going to produce a powerful and positive outcome in our lives. We can turn use those situations that anger us so much and bring some purpose into it; we can use that fire to

Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve wanted to do something or make a change or take some action….   But the mere thought of what you could possibly LOSE in the process stops you dead in your tracks? The reality is that yes, in the process of making changes and reaching our goals and pushing ourselves forward, we have to do things we’ve never done (otherwise we’d already be there). And part of that sometimes means we have to give up certain things in our lives. It’s a scary thought, though, especially when we are so ATTACHED to some of these things. The thought of having to give things up brings up so much fear that we just do nothing; the fear wins. In this episode, we tackle what some of those fears are that come up for us when we feel like we’re going to lose something in the process of making a change or reaching a goal. I’ll share a few tips on how you can actually start tackling those fears and how you can gain more confidence in your ability to push through those fears so that you can start

Have you ever watched and noticed how elite athletes prepare themselves, mentally and physically, before their games and competitions? The focus, determination, drive and discipline required is admirable. Take a step back and evaluate your life right now...you are a player in that game. And that game is happening every single day. We are handed a blank slate every single day, and yet we don’t put in that same amount of preparation, focus, determination? We don’t have that same discipline in what is, truthfully, the most important “game” - our lives. We are taking that time for granted. In this episode, I really want to challenge you to evaluate your life and start to think about training for each day of your life like athletes train for their competitions. This is your game. How you choose to play it out is totally up to you. You can do more and have more and do better. You don’t have to be an athlete to apply the same disciplines and habits and focus; you can do everything that they do. You can lean on the

You’re working so hard. You feel like you are so clear on what you’re working towards. You are taking the right steps and making smart choices to push yourself forward. And yet...you aren’t seeing any progress. You aren’t seeing that hard work amount to anything. You don’t feel like you’re any closer to those goals. You feel frustrated. Angry. Discouraged to no end. Listen, I get it. I have been there so many times I can’t even count and I have really had to self-coach and lean on the tools I teach in terms of High Performance coaching to get myself through those tough times. But it’s not easy; to feel like you’re taking all the right steps but yet not seeing the results happen. It’s so discouraging. Every single successful person in this world has been through this; what’s the difference between those who just give up and allow those feelings of frustration to take over and those who charge ahead, through those bad feelings, ultimately reaching those goals? I can’t speak for everyone, but I’ll tell you

Leaders - listen up!Whether you lead a team within your business, within an MLM, within a volunteer organization or even within your family… Your PEOPLE are your greatest ASSET. Are you treating them that way? Because those people that you pay to do work for you? They aren’t just means to an end. They are human beings.They are connected to other people. They go home to families . How you treat them, how you set them up for success, how you listen to them and be present with them and effectively lead them affects how they feel when they go home. Which affects their relationships. It affects their health. It affects how they show up for other people. Your choices and your actions have a ripple effect; especially when you’re in a leadership role and you need to take that seriously. You can either be part of a process that builds up healthy human beings or part of a process that breaks human beings down. The choice is yours. Listen to this episode for my thoughts on this; why your people aren’t just part of y
