92: From Soggy to Sovereign: Karen's Journey to Courage and Calm

In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode, Charli Wall sits down with her client, Karen, who shares the intimate story of her journey from "soggy and overflowing" tears to feeling grounded, spacious, and sovereign in her life.  In this conversation, we explore: The weight of emotional overflow — how Karen felt consumed by grief, family tensions, and a constant sense of heaviness The courage to reach out — pressing "send" on that first email and defying the inner voice that said "six weeks should be enough" Discovering slow, gentle unravelling — why true healing isn't a quick fix, and how spacious conversations opened unexpected portals From fixing to allowing — how Karen stopped trying to "fix" everyone and learned to honour her own boundaries Learning to receive — the radical shifts that happen when a woman allows help, support, and provision into her life The ripple effects on relationships — how understanding masculine/feminine energetics transformed her partnership, family dynamics, and business Integrating wisdom into everyday life — from creative work as an artist to navigating family with new tools and compassion Trusting the body's truth — how Karen learned to listen to somatic signals instead of overriding them Compassion and devotion to self — why it's still surprisingly hard to write 10 things you love about yourself, and why it matters   Karen's story is a potent reminder that it's never "just one part of life" we're working on.  It's all connected — grief, relationships, health, creativity — and healing ripples outward. If you're standing at the threshold, wondering whether it's time to reach for help, Karen's words might be exactly what you need to hear.    Resources Mentioned: The Keys to the Kingdom and the Queen's Code by Alison Armstrong The Places That Scare You by Pema Chödrön Charli's She Finds Freedom Programme and Wild Awakening Circle Membership Charli's Portal Collection (from her creative shop) Listen now and rediscover the courage that's always been yours.   My free community can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/understandingyourfemininenature/ Free series of 5 Vlogs - "Comfortable in your own skin" https://charliwall.simplero.com/comfortableinyourownskin FLY - First Love Yourself 11-day program: https://charliwall.simplero.com/page/194297-fly-first-love-yourself Circle Community Membership £24.99 per month: https://iamcharliwall.com/wildawakeningcircle/ The Finding Freedom from Habits & Anxiety program can be found here: https://charliwall.simplero.com/ffha-programme Courage Dear Heart Podcast: https://iamcharliwall.com/courage-dear-heart-podcast/ Crete Retreat: https://iamcharliwall.com/wild-awakening-crete-retreat/ Spanish Deep Nature Retreat: https://iamcharliwall.com/wildawakeningretreats/   Apply to work with me https://iamcharliwall.com/1-1-coaching/
