Ep. 6 - Charlotte Nguyen: Opening More Fully to Life Through Beauty and Radical Authenticity

[00:00:00]

Hello, beautiful people. And welcome back for another episode of [00:01:00] the podcast. Today I am beyond excited to introduce you to Charlotte no-win who is a beautiful friend of mine, and also one of my biggest sources of support and inspiration along my entrepreneurial journey. For folks who had an opportunity to listen to.

Episode four with Shereen sun. My business coach and creativity mentor Charlotte is actually the person who connected me. With Shereen many moons ago. Charlotte and I go way back. We actually went to college together in DC at American university. And at that point we were both. Leading very different lives.

We were tapped in with. Politics and social justice and [00:02:00] we're working our way towards graduating and plugging into careers in the nonprofit sector. And at that point, we weren't particularly close, but we had some mutual friends. We had shared space with each other and I always really admired. Charlotte's.

Just fiery energy and passion and saw her as someone that I was desiring to know more deeply and to be more connected with. And our paths we're able to cross again. A few years later. Because I was still following Charlotte on Instagram. And Facebook and I saw that she was growing. Uh, mindfulness and meditation business.

That was blossoming and really beautiful ways. And so I reached out to her after I had finished [00:03:00] my yoga teacher training. just to see if I could pick her brain. Um, about how to translate. What I was exploring around yoga and mindfulness, into a sustainable business.

And it's so funny because. After our podcast interview, Charlotte actually stumbled upon the original email that I sent to her when I reached out. And. Wow. I I'm just such a nerd. Like.

When I looked at the subject line for this email. I laughed out loud because the email that I sent her was entitled. Fellow a you Eagle, colon seeking entrepreneurial guidance. And Charlotte was so sweet, so generous. Uh, we set up a zoom call and chatted for 30 or 45 minutes. And in that time she told me a bit about her story, her journey.

How she had been growing and [00:04:00] developing her business. And at that time also connected me with Shereen. And that is what really initiated. My connection to business coaching and stepping more fully into my leadership and stepping deeper into entrepreneurship. And along the way, Charlotte has been someone who has served as a mentor. For me, she's been a guest on the virtual summits that I've hosted. She's been an affiliate that's helped to boost and promote my offerings and my programs.

And I. Just cannot even describe. How powerful it's been to be able to walk this journey with her. And. Feel this rooted sense of. [00:05:00] Support and also.

Tapping into the knowing that, because we both came from a similar nonprofit background, we went to the same university. Seeing the example that Charlotte. Set. And being able to. Really see the similarity is in our experiences and seeing her caressing it at business. Seeing her really flow through her process of healing and growth and evolution.

Instilled a level of. Confidence in me.

And it allowed me to have greater. Trust that what i was desiring to create was fully fully possible.

So I just love Charlotte so much. She's one of my number one expanders. And I think that you all are really going to enjoy this conversation. We talk [00:06:00] about. The fact that beauty matters and the power of the beauty way. We explore radical authenticity and really opening up to her multidimensional selves. We even talk about.

Sensuality and existential kink. And how to really live in the world. From a turned on state and we explore.

How to navigate fear. While treating ourselves with a level of compassion and acceptance.
