Psychology Today defines self-sabotage as “Behavior that creates problems in daily life and interferes with long-standing goals. The most common self-sabotaging behaviors include procrastination, self-medication with drugs or alcohol, comfort eating, and forms of self-injury such as cutting.”  Many are not aware and don't know why they self-sabotage. In this episode, we discuss how to see your limiting actions and nurture them into actions that honor your highest self. 

Fear is a powerful force. It is a response that warns or protects you from danger. Basically, its sole purpose is to help you survive.

In this episode, we will discuss methods to attack and confront fear.

Winning small feels like a jolt, and sometimes you need that jolt to make you feel good. To feel like you! Part 2. We will discuss your thoughts and your environment.

The truth is living in magic is harder than living without it. You have to decide if you want to live in magic, or if you’d prefer a different method. If you prefer to live in magic, you have to dedicate yourselves to even a glimmer of magic in life. So, how do we do that? How do we train our eyes, our hearts, and our souls to accept that magic can be found anywhere at any time and in any state of being? Listen to this episode to find out!

I realized that sometimes, life gets the best of you. Sometimes there are big disruptive events that ruin your light or small mini-events that chip away at you. Sometimes you find yourself waking up in the morning dreading the day.  OR you wake up and replaying all the ways people have hurt you. Sometimes those things cause you to skew your vision of yourself and your future yourself. During those times you have to be clear about who you are, and use strategies to keep that person in tact. 

In this episode, we discuss the topic of Carefrontation. We discuss its definition. When to use it and why to use it...

Carefrontation is another way to understand confrontation. It is from a place of love. You love yourself so much that with every interaction and space you enter in, you notify those around you of how you want to be treated.

Anxiety is natural. Anxiety about dating is natural. Everyone has it, but the difference between a person enjoying their date while being slightly anxious and the other who lets her anxiety ruin her dating experience is how they manage it.

Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we explore the profound significance of your emotions, even when they may make you feel uncomfortable. Discover the transformative truth that emotions are not separate entities to be managed but rather valuable signals that provide insights into your preferences, joys, dislikes, and boundaries.

We dive deep into the impact of honoring or ignoring these emotional signposts. Gain a greater understanding of how disregarding your emotions can affect your choices in friendships, communities, and hobbies.

Through introspective discussions, we shed light on the consequences of neglecting your authentic emotional experiences. Prepare to uncover the empowering outcomes that emerge when you actively listen to and embrace your emotions.

Tune in to this enlightening conversation and discover the remarkable transformation that occurs when you choose to honor your true self, paving the way for a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Summary: Welcome to this week's episode of Charlie's Toolbox! Today, we discuss a topic that many of us struggle with: setting and defining emotional boundaries with friends who are in unhappy or toxic relationships. This can be challenging because we care deeply about our friends and want the best for them. However, sometimes, this can lead to blurred boundaries, which ultimately benefit no one.

In this episode, we'll discuss recognizing the "enough" moment and establishing clear boundaries to protect your emotional well-being while supporting your friends. We'll also explore how to handle conversations about their relationships and ensure you're not just an audience to their ongoing issues.

Takeaways:

1. Recognize the "Enough" Moment: Understand when to set boundaries for your emotional health.
2. Determine Your Role: Decide whether you want to be an active participant in these conversations or simply an audience member.
3. Set Clear Expectations: Communicate your boundaries and the type of support you can provide.
4. Be Tactful: Establish boundaries gently and with love, ensuring your friend understands your position without feeling judged.
5. Understand the Different Reasons for Sharing: People share their problems for various reasons; discern if they want advice or to vent.

Don't Forget: Please like, subscribe, and follow Charlie's Toolbox on your favorite podcast platforms and YouTube for more insightful discussions and advice!

In this episode, Charlie discusses ways to process your losses. When you fail, you keep all this doubt, pain, blame, or blame that looks like self-reflection, shame, and guilt inside. We don't have the tools or the space to learn how to accept our L's and move on from it without it impacting the hope of the future and the happiness of now. So, the question begs to be asked, how do we make peace with our past mistakes? How do we let go of shame? How do we move forward?

In this episode, we delve into the profound realm of rejection, acknowledging its excruciatingly painful nature. Join us as we explore the insights of psychologist Sheila Robinson-Kiss, who reveals that rejection activates the same neural pathways associated with physical and emotional agony.

This episode explores what womanhood means to many of us and how we can redefine it for ourselves. For many of us, womanhood has been defined by our mothers and grandmothers' experiences, and we have been conditioned to believe that men are the only way to find true fulfillment in life.

However, we challenge this notion and redefine womanhood to mean accountability, joy, spirituality, and unconventionality. We believe that by shifting our focus away from men and our parents, we can discover what truly brings us joy and fulfillment.

We dive into what it means to be accountable for our womanhood, why taking responsibility for our actions is essential, and how victimhood can hold us back. We also explore how womanhood can be enjoyable, even when society seems to emphasize suffering.

We encourage you to reject traditional paths of womanhood and focus on what brings you joy and fulfillment. Join us in defining womanhood and taking full responsibility for your past, present, and future.

In this thought-provoking episode of Charlie's Toolbox, we delve deep into the significance of holding onto the light in a world often overshadowed by darkness. Join me as I explore the reasons behind this timely discussion and the importance of maintaining hope amidst challenging circumstances.

The inspiration for this episode is twofold: first, the topic is often overlooked, and second, it aligns with the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine. We're bombarded daily with distressing news, making it increasingly challenging to maintain a positive outlook in a world seemingly overrun by wickedness.

You might find yourself understandably disheartened, especially if you feel powerless, devoid of influence, or lacking the means to alleviate global issues. So, what do you do in such a situation? We'll discuss the alternatives, emphasizing the need to embrace the light as a catalyst for change and envision a brighter future.

In this episode, Charlie discusses the aftermath of a painful event and how compassion can aid in healing. 

Today we talk about creating a new life and the moments that inspire you to take that action. I thought this was a great topic to cover because it is something that I am currently going through and action that I have always taken my whole life. It’s also something my mother taught me. Whenever she felt stagnant, unhappy, or in need of new energy, she’d pivot. So, in this episode, I want to let you in on pivoting and how to ensure you are pivoting to do the work, instead of running away from your problem.

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Charlie's Toolbox! In this week's installment, we delve into the intriguing topic of decentering men and the palpable hesitation that often accompanies such discussions.

Our host has been immersing herself in the pages of "The Courage to be Disliked," exploring the concept of teleology. This philosophy interprets actions and behaviors based on the purpose they serve rather than the causes that trigger them. As we apply this lens to the theme of decentering men, our host reflects on the hesitations many women experience and asks the pivotal question: What purpose does this hesitation serve?

Join us as we unravel three compelling reasons behind this hesitation, recognizing that this list is by no means exhaustive but serves as a catalyst for contemplation. It's a conversation that challenges norms and encourages introspection, empowering women to navigate the complexities of societal expectations. Tune in, ponder, and let's embark on this enlightening journey together. 🌟 #CharliesToolbox #DecenteringMen #Empowerment #PodcastDiscussion

Welcome to this week's episode of Charlie's Toolbox! In today's insightful discussion, we're diving deep into a topic that's both universal and profoundly personal: self-acceptance.

Many of us find it relatively easy to embrace our strengths and best qualities, but what about the aspects of ourselves that we wish were different? Those hidden facets we might be embarrassed to admit even exist? The qualities we observe in others and secretly yearn to possess? Today, we're peeling back the layers and exploring the often challenging journey of accepting every part of ourselves, even the ones we'd trade away in an instant to be something else.

Join us as we navigate the complex terrain of self-acceptance, sharing personal stories, practical tips, and expert insights to help you embark on your own path toward embracing imperfection and becoming more authentically you. It's a journey of self-discovery, growth, and self-love that you won't want to miss. Tune in now!

Every day I receive questions about what it looks like to center yourself. I also receive complaints about how hard it is or how much women struggle to make decisions for themselves. So, I thought it would be a great idea to interview women from all backgrounds to show you that centering yourself is not as complex as it seems. In this episode, we interview Shelby Ivey Christie, an American fashion and costume historian.

Join us in this enlightening episode as we challenge the notion of using usefulness as a healthy strategy for building meaningful relationships. Gain a deeper understanding of the thought process behind this approach and how it impacts your relationship skills.

We explore two parenting frameworks and their profound influence on shaping your relationship dynamics. Through insightful examples, we shed light on how these frameworks manifest in adults and their subsequent impact on relationships.

Furthermore, we provide practical tips to help you rewrite this thought process, empowering you to cultivate more authentic and fulfilling connections. By the end of this episode, you will be more aware of how parenting frameworks influence your adult relationships and the tools to navigate this paradigm shift effectively.

Get ready to unlock the key to genuine connections and embark on a transformative journey of redefining healthy relating.

Welcome to this week's episode of Charlie's Toolbox. Today, we'll be discussing physical and emotional safety. It's a critical subject that requires attention. Unfortunately, I've noticed that some dating advice meant for experienced sex workers is being shared with those who lack the same level of expertise. This is unacceptable because predators can prey on someone's naivety and use it as an opportunity for violence. It's essential for everyone to understand the true meaning of safety and what it entails.

Discover the power of "Decentering Men" and why your motivations hold the key to true empowerment. Join us in this eye-opening podcast episode as we delve into the trending concept of decentering men and its underlying implications. Unravel the subtle nuances that arise when your motivation to decenter men is driven by the desire for a "better man."

Join us as we challenge some motivators and bring to light the impact of subtly including men's expectations in decentering men. Remember, true decentering means liberating your thoughts from the influence of patriarchy, rather than seeking validation or appeal in the eyes of a better man.

This week, I would like to talk about the concept of embracing peace and the challenges that come with it. I was prompted to think about this topic based on my personal life experiences. Currently, everything in my life is going great, and I am at peace. I am discovering my passion through my work with Charlie's Toolbox - my podcast, writing, and the stories I share empower me. My dating life is harmonious, and my relationships with friends and family are mostly peaceful. Yet, despite this, I have this nagging feeling that things will change. That I will once again find myself on the ground, crying out to God to help me pull through. In this episode, I explore this feeling, why it's there, and how to overcome it. This episode discusses that feeling, why, and how to overcome it. 

Welcome to this empowering episode of "Charlie's Conversations" where Charlie dives into the topic of embracing your true self and breaking free from the opinions of others.

Welcome to another enlightening episode of Charlie's Toolbox! In today's fascinating discussion, we tackle a topic that resonates deeply with both women and men: distinguishing between relationship red-flags and the lingering fears from our past. Join us as we unravel the complexities of this common experience and shed light on a path toward healing and growth.

Many of us have journeyed through the dark alleys of unhealthy or failed relationships. We've endured heartbreak, learned valuable lessons, and emerged stronger. However, as we venture into new romantic territory, we often find ourselves walking on a tightrope of apprehension and hypervigilance. Why is it that we struggle to trust again, fearing that history might repeat itself?

In this episode, we delve into the intricacies of this phenomenon, acknowledging the internal conflicts that arise within us. Together, we explore the notion that our hypervigilance stems from an unhealed part of ourselves that still clings to past pain and trauma. By addressing these wounds head-on, we can gradually make peace with our past and free ourselves from the grip of fear.

In the previous episode, we guided you through introspective questions to ensure your pivot is driven by self-care rather than escapism. Now, in part 2, we delve deeper into the crucial skillsets required to not just survive but thrive during a pivot. Join us as we explore the transformative power of these skills and uncover why they are vital for your success. Get ready to embark on a journey of growth and empowerment!

In this episode, we explore how we use our energy on others and why it can make us feel drained. We'll break down the reasons behind this common experience and provide practical tips to help you manage your energy better, leading to a more fulfilling life.

In this episode, we explore the topic of aging. We delve into the various models that shape our perception of aging and how it can be particularly challenging for women. By the end of the episode, you'll have gained a fresh perspective on aging, a better understanding of why we fear it, and practical advice on how to maintain a positive outlook and joy as you age gracefully.

So many of us fail, but we don’t openly talk about it due to shame and embarrassment. A failure can have your stomach in knots. It can zap your energy and have you in a sunken place where you ask yourself “Why bother?” So, the question begs to be asked how do you get up when you have no life force? In this episode, I hope to give you some strategies so that you can gain the energy back to be yourself or to be a better version of yourself.

Pushing yourself to the limit is unhealthy. It does not mean anything to work till you have no energy. There is no beauty nor virtue in it. The only thing that is happening is that your body and mind are getting beat up. To stop that from happening, I've created an episode with handy tips to help you rest. 

In this thought-provoking episode, we discuss how men often use self-help language and concepts to manipulate and deceive women. We explore the ways in which men use these terms to mask their true intentions, and how they use them to appear empathetic and caring while still pursuing their own interests. Through real-life examples and in-depth analysis, we provide valuable insights into how to spot these tactics and protect yourself from being taken advantage of. Join us for a stimulating conversation that will leave you with a greater understanding of the dynamics at play in modern relationships.

Welcome to this week's episode of Charlie's Toolbox. Last week, we discussed setting boundaries with friends in toxic and unhealthy relationships. This week, in Part 2, we dive deeper into the delicate balance of being there for your friends while keeping your peace.

In this episode, we explore the challenging dynamics of supporting friends who are in toxic relationships. How do you maintain your well-being while trying to help a friend in need? We discuss the importance of community and the need to be cautious about who we call friends. Sometimes, changing the conversation or setting boundaries isn't enough; we might have to honor our boundaries by walking away.

Discover the compelling reasons behind the necessity of stepping away from the self-help frenzy. Uncover how relentless self-help consumption may be breaking your spirit, fostering a sense of inadequacy, and diverting your focus from living your authentic life. Join us as we explore the subtle impact of constant self-help immersion and why it's crucial to reclaim your life.

Tune in for insights, reflection, and a roadmap to break free from the self-help cycle.

There has been so much that people have gone through these past couple of years. People have experienced death, isolation, disruption to their everyday life, heartbreak, political unrest, failure, and the loss of their job. These moments are earth-shattering and have a profound effect on every one of us. Though I cannot make these situations easier, with less grief, and sadness, I can help you process them and move forward in a hopeful and optimistic way. You should leave this episode understanding that life is hard, but to keep your joy, you must find ways to process losses, learn, and try to find the hopeful side of every experience.

Are you hiding who you are because you think people will not like you? Do you think the mask you put on is more likable? Why do you think that? Why do you think you are not worthy of being seen? Why must you put on a mask to be liked, cared for, or interested in? In this episode, we discuss the benefits of living an authentic life and the tools to take you there. 

In this episode, we address the holiday blues that single women may experience. Unfortunately, many single individuals feel down during the holidays because they witness couples enjoying the festivities and exchanging gifts. However, it's important to remember that their happiness shouldn't make you feel bad. Instead, you can adopt a positive outlook and enjoy the holidays in your own unique way.

Every day I receive questions about what it looks like to center yourself. I also receive complaints about how hard it is or how much women struggle to make decisions for themselves. So, I thought it would be a great idea to interview women from all backgrounds to show you that centering yourself is not as complex as it seems. In the first episode, we are interviewing Valese Jones public relations extraordinaire

When we learn about the power of no, we often do so by having it removed from us. We are either told it is unladylike to say no (aka boys won’t like you) or we are abused by the people closest to us and feel as if we have no choice (aka do this to keep the family functioning). As a result, we go along with things we hate. Date people, we don’t like. Develop no boundaries and allow people to impede on the things we need. In this episode, we are going to address some of these fears, teach you what no is, the cost of not saying no, and finally, we will go over strategies on how to say no or phrases that will help get you there.

Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we delve into the societal pressure of constantly beautifying ourselves. Discover the detrimental effects of these standards and expectations on our well-being.

We explore powerful ways to subvert these norms and empower ourselves to feel truly comfortable in our own skin, embracing our natural beauty. Gain practical insights and strategies to break free from the cycle of external validation and cultivate a deep sense of self-acceptance.

Tune in to this inspiring discussion as we embark on a journey towards reclaiming your authenticity and finding genuine contentment in being yourself, just as you are.

In this episode, we explore the insidious ways in which patriarchy is entrenched in our society, particularly when it comes to women navigating the streets. Our host shares a personal experience of being yelled at by two men while walking her dog and how it reminded her of the constant labor and energy women are forced to give to men subtly and blatantly every day. From being harassed on the street to navigating men's emotional minefields, women are expected to abide by unspoken rules or face the consequences. Join us as we break down these small interactions and explore how they constantly drain women's energy and time.

Dear Over-Liker why is liking someone such a bad thing? If you have self-respect, can you also give love freely? Can you feel excited about a new prospect and still live your life and not compromise your values? If you want to learn how, please listen to my podcasts... 

For those who are hyper-vigilant and tend to bolt at the slightest discomfort, and for those who go all-in on the dating process and take it to heart, this episode is for you. Both of these groups share a common problem: they suffer from past relationships or childhood traumas that leave them without the emotional boundaries necessary to cope with the anxieties that come with dating.

If you find yourself constantly on edge, ready to flee at the first sign of trouble, or if you invest heavily in every aspect of dating and take every rejection to heart, know that you are not alone. By understanding and addressing the underlying emotional issues that drive these behaviors, you can learn to establish healthy boundaries and approach dating with greater confidence and ease.

The truth is…. Dating is hard, but it isn’t.

It is hard when you are holding your breath, secretly waiting to be saved, validated by a partner. It is hard when one negative or ugly comment from a prospect sends you into a spiral. It is hard when you move your boundaries because this guy is GREAT! Even though you have no real way of knowing. It is especially hard when you feel that this is your only hope for happiness. However, It is easy when you’ve worked on yourself and know that this experience is for you. When you work on yourself, you don’t give weight to an opinion outside of yourself. When you know the experience is for you, you don’t audition instead you become the panel.
