Hi there, and welcome to this week's episode of Charlie's Toolbox. Today, we are going to talk about creating a new life and the moments that inspire you to take that action. I chose this topic because it is something I am currently going through, and it's also a principle my mother taught me. Whenever she felt stagnant, unhappy, or in need of new energy, she would pivot. So, in this episode, I want to share with you the concept of pivoting and how to ensure that you are pivo

Hi there! Welcome to this episode of Charlie's Toolbox. This week's episode is about the practical steps of pivoting. In the last episode, we outlined some questions to reflect on to ensure that you are pivoting to create more self-care instead of running away.

I am the par

Hi there! Welcome to this week's episode of Charliestoolbox titled, “Managing Setbacks: Life Hacks to help you survive”. I want to discuss this episode because there has been so much that people have gone through these past couple of years.

These moments are earth-shattering and have a profound effect on every one of us. Though I can

Hi there! Welcome to this week’s episode of Charlie’s Toolbox, this week we discuss the body and how we can encourage love and appreciation for it. I chose this topic because we are in the new year, and typically the new year comes with weight and body goals. Along with those goals is an increase in criticism, self-loathing, and an internal dialogue that would quite frankly crush you. The objective of this episode is to steer you in another direction and provide you with a s
