Charlie’s Toolbox is a podcast for women rediscovering themselves after a heartbreak, a traumatic event, or simply wants to change. The moments after a hit to your self-esteem are some of the hardest. You want to feel confident, but you have doubt. You want to move forward, but your fear won’t let you. You want to feel like you again, but you are not sure if you can. If you are in this space, this podcast for you. In each episode researcher, Charlie Taylor will teach you how to overcome self-criticism, low self-esteem, self-worth issues and help you trust yourself again. While there are plenty of coaches that assist with these obstacles, Charlie’s approach is unconventional. She does not ignore structures like patriarchy, white supremacy, and homophobia. She provides steps that help the individual but also plans for societal structures.

Ep. 78 Why Do You Hesitate to Decenter Men?

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Charlie's Toolbox! In this week's installment, we delve into the intriguing topic of decentering men and the palpable hesitation that often accompanies such discussions. Our host has been immersing herself in the pages of "The Courage to be Disliked," exploring the concept of teleology. This philosophy interprets actions and behaviors based on the purpose they serve rather than the causes that trigger them. As we apply this lens to the theme of decentering men, our host reflects on the hesitations many women experience and asks the pivotal question: What purpose does this hesitation serve? Join us as we unravel three compelling reasons behind this hesitation, recognizing that this list is by no means exhaustive but serves as a catalyst for contemplation. It's a conversation that challenges norms and encourages introspection, empowering women to navigate the complexities of societal expectations. Tune in, ponder, and let's embark on this enlightening journey together. 🌟 #CharliesToolbox #DecenteringMen #Empowerment #PodcastDiscussion

Ep. 76 Holding onto Hope in a World of Darkness

In this thought-provoking episode of Charlie's Toolbox, we delve deep into the significance of holding onto the light in a world often overshadowed by darkness. Join me as I explore the reasons behind this timely discussion and the importance of maintaining hope amidst challenging circumstances. The inspiration for this episode is twofold: first, the topic is often overlooked, and second, it aligns with the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine.

You might find yourself understandably disheartened, especially if you feel powerless, devoid of influence, or lacking the means to alleviate global issues. So, what do you do in such a situation? We'll discuss the alternatives, emphasizing the need to embrace the light as a catalyst for change and envision a brighter future.

Ep. 53 Setting Emotional Boundaries in Dating: A Must-Hear Podcast for Healthy Relationships

For those who are hyper-vigilant and tend to bolt at the slightest discomfort, and for those who go all-in on the dating process and take it to heart, this episode is for you. Both of these groups share a common problem: they suffer from past relationships or childhood traumas that leave them without the emotional boundaries necessary to cope with the anxieties that come with dating. If you find yourself constantly on edge, ready to flee at the first sign of trouble, or if you invest heavily in every aspect of dating and take every rejection to heart, know that you are not alone. By understanding and addressing the underlying emotional issues that drive these behaviors, you can learn to establish healthy boundaries and approach dating with greater confidence and ease.     For more tools on dating and centering yourself on: https://www.charliestoolbox.com/ Twitter: https://www.charliestoolbox.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charliestool...

Ep. 14 Let Go of Worries: Embrace the True Essence of Dating

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!

Ep: 5 The Power of Saying No: Setting Boundaries for Personal Empowerment

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...
