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. Don't settle for the ordinary when you can thrive!

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 grxandmothers' 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. Want to learn self-mastery? Go to charliestoolbox.com

Today we talk about creating a new life and the moments that inspire you to take that action.

In part 1, we discussed the art of getting back to yourself. I asked you to acknowledge you are in a pandemic because that plays a role in your discontent or not feeling like you. I asked you to love your routine but also make space for spontaneity. Sometimes patterns can make your life feel dull. Finally, win small! 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. There are particular ways they hinder you from feeling and being who you want to be.     For more tools on dating and centering yourself on: https://www.charliestoolbox.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charliestoolbox Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charliestool...

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, Charlie discusses the art of choosing yourself. Choosing yourself is an art that no one discusses. They do not tell you the how or the why.

No one talks about friendships or their dynamics, but friendships are not a one size fit all thing. Some fit a certain role.

In this episode, I investigate why you perform in relationships (romantic and non-romantic). I explore how that dynamic came to be. What it does to your spirit, and why you should let go of the performance. I hope you take something from this episode.  

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.  For more tools on dating and centering yourself on: https://www.charliestoolbox.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charliestoolbox Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charliestool...

Dating is a hopeful game. Most of us do a good job at playing it cool, but underneath that indifference are people who really want to love and be loved. I am one of them and I'd like to discuss how sometimes hope is not enough.

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.  For more tools on dating and centering yourself on: https://www.charliestoolbox.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charliestoolbox Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charliestool...

This week I want to discuss embracing peace and the struggle that shows up while embracing it.   What led me to this topic was my own life. Right now, my life is peaceful. I mean everything is going right. I am finding my passion in my work with Charlie’s Toolbox. The podcast is fun, the writing is fun, and the stories empower me. My dating life is peaceful. My relationships with my friends are peaceful. My family and I are for the most part peaceful. Everything is peaceful. However, though I am peaceful, I had this aching feeling that it would change. That once again I would find myself on the ground heaving, pleading to God to help me through it.  I could not fathom that peace could be mine, forever. Instead, I enjoyed my peace, while holding my breath. This episode discusses that feeling, why, and how to overcome it.    For more tools on dating and centering yourself on: https://www.charliestoolbox.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charliestoolbox Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charliestool...

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!  

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.   

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.   So, how do we date to make sure that dating is easy, listen here to find out!

30-year-old settling is subtle. Often only you know. Or your friends know, but love you too much to tell you this is not the best you can do. 30-year-old settling is not fully committing to mediocre, but sort of embracing it.

But for those of you who want excellent, I have some tips to keep you going for when you just want to give up and settle.

It saves you from a lot of pain & heartbreak.” I had many women retweet, share on Instagram, and message me agreeing but asking how?

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. Fear is something we are supposed to have and it is extremely helpful. However, when exhausted and perverted, fear can be the very thing that stops you from enjoying life. In this episode, we will discuss methods to attack and confront fear.    For more tools on dating and centering yourself on: https://www.charliestoolbox.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charliestoolbox Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charliestool...

This episode is for people who struggle with trusting themselves after a difficult breakup. Those folks who experience a traumatic heartbreak and decide to forego vulnerability because they suspect it is the cause of their immense pain. It is for the children of terrible caretakers, who weren't afforded the space to be vulnerable and loved unconditionally. It is hard to be vulnerable when this is your foundation. So, you have to do like you do everything else, plan for it. This episode is for the people who hate being vulnerable, don't know how to be vulnerable, and folks who are struggling with vulnerability. I teach you how to break down vulnerability so that you can trust that you will be able to do it and safely.        

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.   For more tools on dating and centering yourself on: https://www.charliestoolbox.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charliestoolbox Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charliestool...

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.

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.   For more tools on dating and centering yourself on: https://www.charliestoolbox.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charliestoolbox Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charliestool...
