How Deep Is Your Love (for Yourself): Letting Go of the Superwoman Cape feat. Danielle Hawthorne

Let’s talk.

How deep is your love… for yourself?

This episode is for every woman who’s ever felt like she had to keep it all together, carry the weight, smile through the stress, and never drop the ball. You know, the whole “strong woman” thing… even when you're tired AF.

I'm sitting down with my girl Danielle - executive coach, heart-first founder, and real one - to unpack the truth behind that Superwoman cape we’ve been conditioned to wear. And spoiler alert: we weren’t meant to wear it in the first place.

Inside this episode, we chat about:

  • Why the "do-it-all" hustle is burning us out
  • The cost of always being the strong one
  • How to finally come home to who you actually are underneath all the roles and expectations

This is about redefining strength, softness, and self-love that runs deep - like PJ Morton's "How Deep Is Your Love" kinda deep.

✨ Let this episode be your permission slip to put the cape down, take a breath, and just…BE.

📣 Come listen if you’ve ever asked:

  • Who am I when I’m not over-performing?
  • What happens if I say no?
  • Can I still be powerful… even when I rest?

Family Affair: Breaking Intergenerational Cycles feat. the Chan sisters (Anita, Alyce, Amy)

🚨 Breaking Generational Cycles, One Mic-Drop at a Time 🚨

What does it really take to break free from family expectations, rewrite your own success story, and step into your power as a woman of colour? In this episode of The Char Hotline, I’m joined by the unstoppable Chan sisters—Anita, Alyce, and Amy—three queens who are each breaking generational cycles in their own right, in their own way. From parenting to taking up space and being seen and being loud to redefining beliefs around love and relationships. 

🌱 Anita—Eco-conscious founder of We Trash Talk, makes sustainability simple and accessible. https://www.instagram.com/wetrashtalk/

🔥 Alyce—Creator of MOMCOMNYCsays herself, “laugh or you’ll cry” brings humour to the highs and lows of parenthood and life. https://www.instagram.com/momcomnyc/

💔 Amy—Breakup Bootcamp founder helping women heal, level up, and stop texting their ex (for real this time). https://www.instagram.com/missamychan/

Together, we get real about the weight of being the "good daughter," unlearning what no longer serves us, and what true self-love looks like when you’re forging your own path. Expect laughs, deep truths, and the ultimate cycle-breaking energy—because healing? That’s the real glow-up. 💡✨

Intuition: How To Be Brave Enough to Listen to Yourself

We all have that inner voice—the one that whispers (or yells), "Don’t do it!" But how often do we actually listen? In this episode, we're diving deep into why trusting your intuition feels so hard and how to strengthen that inner knowing so you can make decisions with confidence.

🔥 Why We Struggle to Trust Ourselves:

  • We’ve been conditioned to seek external validation instead of listening to our gut.
  • Fear of making the ‘wrong’ choice or 'failing' keeps us stuck in overthinking (analysis paralysis!)
  • Hustle culture makes us logic our way out of what we already feel is right.

✨ How to Strengthen Your Intuition:

  • Tune out the noise and check in with yourself—your body knows.
  • Keep an intuition journal to track when your gut is right.
  • Start small—practice with everyday decisions before the big ones.
  • Let go of needing approval—only you have to live with your choices.

At the end of the day, your intuition already knows the way. Your job? Be brave enough to follow it.
