Hi! I’m Charlene… a Fearless Coach, Soul Guide and an American living in Paris since 2022. I was inspired to move here after taking a solo trip to celebrate my 40th birthday as part of my “40 fearless acts” challenge! More on this later…

A decade prior, at age thirty, I quit my corporate job and moved from my hometown of Los Angeles (I’m a valley-girl, fo sho!) to NYC to pursue my big dream of becoming a successful singer/songwriter. Two years into that life, I crumbled and went back to a corporate job. In the not getting what I wanted, I asked myself higher questions, like: what is my true purpose; what am I meant to do with my life; and why is living my dream so goddam hard?

I didn’t know it then but what felt so hard all those years was the realization that I was living according to what society told me success and happiness was supposed to look like. All that pressure of time-age-what-have-you-got-to-show forced me to stop pursuing anything in the conventional sense. And I went on a deep, soul-searching journey to find my own path.

After reading a ton of self-help books and applying those tools into my life, I was able to quit the corporate job (again) to become a yoga teacher who sang her own songs in classes. I taught all over Manhattan, created and led retreats all over the world and attracted a wonderful community of like-minded souls. I learned I get to define what success and happiness means. And for me, success is a feeling of aliveness, of true heart fulfillment while being your authentic self everyday. It’s an internal measure, not a bank balance. 

When the world shutdown in 2020, I moved back to LA with more questions. After spending a year tackling my fears at forty (see below and listen to “The Fearless Lady” podcast), I experienced more fun, manifested more abundance, relationships and opportunities without ever trying. It was a side-effect of living and taking action solely from a space of what felt right for me. This journey inspired me to become a fearless coach to help others forge their true path and discover their power as co-creators. 

In the spirit of following my intuition, I signed up for a ‘psychic bootcamp’ course never intending to do readings for others. But, as it turned out, reading others and tapping into their soul and energetic field was easy for me. It really is true all the wisdom lies within us and it’s just getting out of our own way that takes practice.
