Realign Your Career. Reclaim Your Voice. Step Into Your Power.

I help professionals move from misalignment to purpose, power and progress through trauma-informed coaching and the HEART Goals™ framework.

You know there’s more.

You’ve worked hard. You’ve followed the rules. You’ve built a career. You’re grateful but you’re over being:

  • Overqualified but underpaid.

  • Burnt out and stuck in the same cycle.

  • Thinking about starting a business but not knowing where to start.

  • Or maybe you’ve started — but it feels like you’re throwing spaghetti at the wall and nothing is sticking.

You’re not behind. You need a guide that can help you create more. And that’s where I come in.

Because when you unpause your dreams — your vision, your voice, and your value finally align

You’ve got a lifetime of valuable experiences, passions, and skills. Now it’s time to package it, monetize it, and build a business that aligns with your life — not the other way around.

Build a Business That Aligns with Your Life

THE CLARITY & ALIGNMENT CIRCLE™

Your starting place if you’re unclear about what’s next.

If you feel in transition, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your purpose…
start here.

The Clarity & Alignment Circle is a 6-week guided reset to help you:

  • Get clear on what’s working and what’s not

  • Reconnect with your desires and values

  • Release old beliefs that keep you stuck

  • Build confidence through small, aligned steps

  • Move from confusion into clarity and grounded momentum

It’s the most supportive, accessible way to work with me live — without the commitment of long-term coaching.

Perfect for women who want clarity, confidence, and a soft place to land.

1:1 COACHING WITH CHARLENE

For women ready for deep personal, professional, and spiritual transformation.

If you already know you’re ready for a profound shift in your life, work, leadership, or identity — this is my highest level of support.

1:1 Coaching is a private, personalized experience that helps you:

  • Realign your life and leadership with purpose

  • Heal burnout, overperformance, and survival-mode patterns

  • Strengthen emotional and spiritual resilience

  • Build a plan for your next chapter with clarity and confidence

  • Rebuild identity after major transitions or losses

  • Step fully into the woman you’re becoming

This is deep, intimate, and transformational work.

Many times goals fail because the approach ignores the person behind the goals.

That’s why I created my proprietary HEART Goals™ framework, designed for those who want to build thriving businesses without sacrificing what matters most.

H — Holistic → Create goals that honor your whole life.

E — Energizing → Set goals that light you up instead of draining you.

A — Aligned → Build offers and income streams that reflect your values.

R — Realistic → Choose achievable milestones that keep you moving forward.

T — Task-Driven → Break your big dreams into doable, focused actions.

This isn’t about hustle culture. It’s about designing a business that works for you.

    Either way — you won’t be navigating this season alone.

  • I get it and honestly have felt this way before too. I built my coaching programs around a combination of what I felt was missing in programs I took early on and what I’ve seen clients struggle with while coaching. I provide strategy, structure, and support designed around you. I don’t call you out, I dig in with you to uncover and resolve your blocks so that you can actually launch your business.

  • My values are rooted in faith, and if you ask for prayer or scripture-based guidance, you’ll get it. If not, I’ll still coach you with integrity, empathy, and truth.
