Unpopular Opinion - Yoga Shouldn't Always Feel Good

In this solo episode, Charlotte opens up about a side of yoga and mindfulness that's rarely talked about—emotional honesty. While yoga is often portrayed as a path to calm and clarity, it can also stir up deep, sometimes painful emotions. Charlotte shares her personal experiences with emotional release on the mat, the tension between wanting to feel good and needing to feel everything, and the traps of spiritual bypassing.

She dives into how emotional awareness, honest communication, and full moon rituals have become key tools in her journey—not just as a yoga teacher, but as a mother, partner, and woman.


If you've ever felt like you’re “doing the work” but still unsettled, this conversation is your invitation to go deeper.

Are You Living in the Gap or the Gain?

In this episode of Mama Time, Charlotte explores one of her favorite mindset-shifting books: The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. Through the lens of motherhood, she unpacks how this powerful concept can transform how we measure progress, parent with more presence, and approach our daily challenges with compassion.

Instead of constantly comparing ourselves to idealized goals or expectations, The Gap and the Gain invites us to look back and measure how far we’ve come. Charlotte shares practical tools from the book to help moms shift from feeling behind to feeling proud—enhancing motivation, improving relationships, and supporting emotional well-being.

Whether you’re deep in the trenches of early motherhood or navigating the chaos of everyday life, this episode is a warm reminder that you're making more progress than you think.

    6 Benefits of a Home Yoga Practice for Mothers

    In this episode of Mama Time, I’m sharing why an at-home yoga and mindfulness practice can completely shift your experience of motherhood—for the better.

    Before kids, my yoga practice was long, quiet, and often done in a studio. These days, it looks like short bursts of movement on my living room floor with a toddler asking for bubbles. And yet? It’s never been more essential.

    • How a home practice can fit into your life right now

    • Why short practices are powerful (yes, even 2 minutes!)

    • How consistency—not perfection—is the key to nervous system support

    • Ways to adapt your practice to meet your daily needs

    • How your practice benefits not just you, but your kids too


    Plus, I’m sharing an exciting announcement for mamas who want more support building a consistent and nourishing at-home practice.

    Finding Calm Amongst the Chaos Series - Part 1: The Power of Your Breath

    Welcome to Finding Calm Amongst Chaos: A Nervous System Reset Series for Mothers. This special three-part series is designed to help you move from stressed and overwhelmed to calm and empowered—through simple, accessible tools for nervous system regulation.

    As mothers, we’re constantly riding emotional waves—navigating sleepless nights, toddler tantrums, and the pressure of just getting everyone out the door on time. Without practices to support our nervous system, we can get stuck in survival mode—reactive, burnt out, and disconnected from ourselves.

    That’s why we’re starting this series with something beautifully simple and incredibly powerful: your breath.

    In today’s episode, Charlotte shares why breath is one of the most effective and immediate tools for nervous system regulation. You’ll be guided through a gentle breathing exercise that you can return to anytime you’re feeling overwhelmed or on edge. This isn’t about adding another task to your list—it’s about learning to use what’s already within you to feel better, fast.
