  • Gaslighting 101: Spot It. Stop It And Shut It Down!
    Jan 9 2025

    Gaslighting isn’t always obvious. Sometimes, it’s subtle—a dismissive glance, a backhanded comment, or even silence. In this episode, Dr. Charlie Hornes unpacks the insidious nature of gaslighting and how it messes with your sense of reality. Learn what gaslighting really is (hint: it’s not just a buzzword), how it rewires your brain, and how to spot the signs before it takes over.

    Actionable Takeaways:

    1. Anchor Yourself in Facts: Write down events immediately after they happen. Stick to the facts to avoid self-doubt later.
    2. Set Boundaries: You don’t need a gaslighter to co-sign your truth. State your reality and disengage.
    3. Find Your Allies: Lean on trusted friends, coaches, or therapists for validation and support.

    💡 Pro Tip: Gaslighting thrives on silence. Talk it through and reclaim your power.

  • How Stress is Breaking Your Brain - How to STOP IT NOW!
    Dec 27 2024

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty but can’t seem to stop, this episode is for you. Burnout isn’t just about being tired—it’s about feeling trapped in a cycle of stress and exhaustion.

    In this episode, Dr. Charlie dives into why burnout feels like a loop you can’t escape and what you can do to break free.

    Actionable Takeaways:

    1. The "Burnout Audit": Identify one activity in your day that drains your energy most. Can you pause, delegate, or reframe it to feel less taxing?
    2. Recalibration Routine: Set aside 15 minutes today for an intentional reset—whether deep breathing, a quick walk, or journaling what’s on your mind.
    3. Reclaim Your Morning: Start your day with one small action that’s just for you, like sipping coffee without checking emails or setting an intention.

  • Overfunctioning is Burning You Out: Here Is What To Do Instead!
    Dec 20 2024

    In today's episode, Dr. Charlie takes a deep dive into that exhausting, over-functioning cycle and shares her actionable steps to break free. She unpacks how survival instincts and societal conditioning push ambitious women to do too much, which leads to stress, burnout, and utter exhaustion.

    You will learn to identify perfectionism and over-responsibility patterns, practical solutions, and a new perspective on setting guilt-free boundaries that work for you. Dr. Charlie introduces tools such as the "responsibility map," which helps women find what's really theirs to manage and what can be let go of or shared.

    This empowering episode, meanwhile, sends a different message from conventional societal narratives. Dr Charlie wants you to own your inside strengths, redefine your priorities, and take back your energies.

    Are you ready to leave burnout behind and live with confidence and clarity? Then this episode is for YOU!
