A Zest For Life

82. Rediscovering Your Childlike Zest: Why Coming Home to Yourself Feels Epic!

Wow, what a journey! After spending the weekend at the Abraham Hicks workshop in Edinburgh (the ticket to which I manifested within just 12 hours - how mad is that?), I had this proper lightbulb moment standing by the Angel of the North. The whole experience felt like divine orchestration, like the Universe was giving me a huge sign that I was on the right path!

With 1,800 of us there, I suddenly realised it was time to step away from having Abraham as my main guide and truly embrace my own voice. That's why I've rebranded my podcast to "A Zest for Life" - capturing that childlike enthusiasm we often lose as grown-ups.

This isn't about flip-flopping - it's brave adaptation! Coming home to yourself is such a beautiful feeling, far better than chasing external validation. My podcast will be this gorgeous mix of spirituality, raw humanity, biohacking, and proper joy.

When you own your true essence, life unfolds beautifully, connecting you with your authentic purpose.

And the beautiful thing with energy and having energy as your leading strategy is that as you trust yourself more and as you trust in it more, in the unseen, you have this knowing that guides you through life, and I'm here to show you and display to you and really own up and allow you to tune into that on a whole different level and see what comes up and back yourself like never before. Hello, hello, hello everyone, and welcome welcome to the podcast. Hello, hello, hello everyone, and welcome welcome to the podcast. I want to go straight into transformation, trusting yourself and the inner wisdom that you have, and in very real, authentic, honest reflection. I'm bringing this podcast to you to allow you to consider where you may be holding back on your own true wisdom or your own authenticity and really being. You truly are, and so I'm going to take you on a journey of allowing, of admitting, of noticing fears and accepting and being brave enough to move through them. So last week I went to the Abrahamics workshop. For those of you that don't know, I manifested a ticket within 12 hours. It was there in my messenger from a wonderful soul who said I don't know why you've come to mind, but I'm guided to share this opportunity with you. Would you like my ticket, to which I said, yeah, fabulous, thank you so much. I'm truly appreciative and I'm going to go to that event and be guided as to where a where I'm going with Abraham, but also where I'm going with myself, as Charlotte Carter, as the owner of I Dare to Leap, as the energetic master that I am, as the high performance coach that I am, as the transformational guider mentor that I am, and I knew there was going to be massive, massive shifts, and I wanted to wait a little until everything had landed before I recorded this episode. And so much has come through, with some real releasing and some real permission piece, and so I wanted to keep it really real and I want to take you through that journey, because life has so many twists and turns, it has so many beautiful, unveiling moments and so many moments where you may have a crossroad, think do I go this way or that? And the beautiful thing with energy and having energy as your leading strategy is that, as you trust yourself more and as you trust in it more, in the unseen, you have this knowing that guides you through life, and I'm here to show you and display to you and really own up and allow you to tune into that on a whole different level and see what comes up and back yourself like never before. So I went to the Align with Abraham conference in Edinburgh. It was sensational, it was fabulous and there was lots and lots of takeaways, lots and lots of takeaways from spirituality side and lots and lots of takeaways from the spirituality side and lots and lots of takeaways from the very human side and lots of takeaways from the event side and many, many things like that.

Speaker 1:

The biggest one for me was a full circle moment of when I first started sensing Abraham as one of my guides. When I first started sensing Abraham as one of my guides, it was about a year ago and I had incredible ringing in my ears and I was like, oh, my goodness, this is like a new guide and there's episodes you can hear this about how this all happened. But I knew when I was on my way up to the Abraham conference as she sells it as that there was going to be many, many transitions and the first point of call we had was we stopped at the Angel of the North and that was really epic on multiple levels. I was really taken to the energy there and the space and all of the precision to be able to get that monument up and the size of it and like in awe and in wisdom and in certainty of everything that was going to unveil was exactly as it was planned and everything was going to really hold me to a higher version of myself and collapse timelines in multiple ways, and so that was kind of like the opening. I went to the event and the first day I was very much in the space of navigating the energy of the city as everybody was making their way to this conference. There were 1800 people and I knew straight away okay, this is going to be the closure of me leading with Abraham. I knew that, I knew that, but I wanted to watch it unfold, so I had a knowing that that was going to happen. Abraham is one of many guides for me, um, and he had communicated with me, um, in a way that was all around releasing and releasing the need to fit into a box. Releasing the need to fit into a box. It was all about into a box. It was all about that and you know I'm not going to be following Esther's footsteps. I'm going to be taking some of the wisdom that Abraham brings to me as part of my whole. So I got there. It was lots and lots of things happened and I'm in a space now where there's incredible ascension and growth, and so I'm changing the podcast name. Now I want to talk about fear on this. So the podcast was first port.

Speaker 1:

Some of you who've listened from the beginning will be like oh my goodness, charlotte, this is fascinating listening. But there's definitely something in my energy and in my signature and in my message to the world that you know what, at any time in your life, you can change, you can pivot, you can grow, as long as you are tuning in to your inner guidance system, to your knowing, to your intuition, to your inner self. And it's not coming from anybody else, it's always your knowing. And what's happened for me and I love that I've done it like publicly and globally on a podcast is that it's all been refinement. Every single step of the way has been refinement, and this year I think I've changed it three or four times in the last three or four months, and that's what I want to demonstrate the speed of growth that I can go through and that anyone can if they choose to listen to themselves and close out or move through or transition from anything that's pulling you away from your true self.

Speaker 1:

So, as a young, young girl, I had a zest for life. I was told by so many wow. You have, like you know, so much fun, so much laughter, so much lightness. I had lots of great experiences and a beautiful, beautiful childhood. And as I navigated life and navigatedated all sorts of dynamics of life, this zest would come in in spurts and then it would go, and then it would come in in spurts and then it would go. And as part of the last few years, and definitely before I set up the podcast, there was this element of the zest being rebirthed, for want of a better phrase, being allowed to shine, being able to come out, and whether it was like the whole alignment of my life, whether it was the whole position of being in the business. Whoever knows and I will always say this to people it's never just one thing, it's a multiple, multitude, multiversal, for want of a better phrase. Multiversal, multi-aspect, multi-dimensional. Basically what I'm saying there's many, many things, many, many things that allow you to change, grow, flourish and truly shine. And you know like you know, like you know when you come home to yourself. There's nothing else warmer, more loving, more beautiful and more brilliant, more expansive, more accepting and more delightful. And so it is.

Speaker 1:

So the podcast has been renamed a zest for life, and I want to talk about the journey of claiming and owning and embodying that title, because it is big, you know, and and zest is a word that's focused around enthusiasm, desire, passion and purpose, and you know you're going to get out better. Oh, my goodness, I love what I'm doing. I absolutely love what I'm doing, and allowing yourself to build a podcast on that and have insights into what may block your zest, what may ignite it, what may add on it to become overflow, is fascinating, absolutely fascinating on multiple levels. So, as S for Life is here, it's here for the masses, it's here for you all, my numbers are going to skyrocket because there's a sense of expansion, there's a sense of.

Speaker 1:

Do you know what I'm going to bring? All of it. I'm going to bring the spirituality, for certain. I'm going to bring all the very real, human, raw side, for certain. I'm going to bring the pure authenticity of myself, for certain. I'm going to bring all of the emotional challenges and excitement. I'm going to bring all of the performance tools, all of the biohacking, all of the refinement pieces, all of the joy I'm going to bring. All of the happiness, all of the rampages like I listened to live from Abraham at the weekend.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to bring all of those to your ears, because that is a life full of zest. It's where there is variety. It's where there is deep, profound words. It's where there's light, joyful words. It's where there's a realness and a rawness. It's where there's a pure acceptance that the truest essence of you is all you ever have and all you ever are. And when you absolutely own that and hold that like never before, life becomes this whole beautiful unfolding of your truest path, wherever that takes you and aligns you to your pure purpose, your devotion, your energetic signature that will create and manifest a life of your truest desires, not anybody else's your heartfelt, soul-felt, internal desires that can then be brought to the world in a way that absolutely ignites you and fulfills you and brings incredible passion to you, and the ripple effect is very real and very beautiful and very heartwarming and heart-centered and expansive to experience. Centered and expansive to experience.

Speaker 1:

So I'm excited, as always, as I have been throughout this whole podcast journey. I am absolutely loving everything, so I'm going to be really clear. If you want to find out about the what it's like to work with me, there's lots and lots of programs that are all around bringing you to a space of pure alignment, pure divine wholeness and pure love, joy and happiness.
