What if aging well wasn't about fighting time… but supporting your body—especially your energy and nervous system?

In this episode of Collective Guidance, Charla sits down with Jen Rice, a dermatology PA-C with 20+ years of experience and training in regenerative medicine, to explore the real reasons skin changes during perimenopause and menopause—and what actually helps.

Together, they talk about the connection between stress, inflammation, hormones, and skin health, plus the surprising science behind something as simple as smiling. Jen also breaks down regenerative therapies like exosomes in a way that's easy to understand, and shares how her work has evolved from surface treatments to true, inside-out healing.

✨ Aging gets to feel lighter, wiser, and more radiant.

• Why skin changes so dramatically in perimenopause + menopause
• Estrogen decline, collagen loss, hydration changes & slower repair
• The hidden role of cortisol sensitivity and inflammation
• Why traditional "surface treatments" often aren't enough
• Stress-related symptoms that show up on the skin (rosacea, eczema, flushing, breakouts)
• The science of smiling: dopamine, serotonin, and nervous system regulation
• How breathwork supports healing, skin health, and longevity
• What exosomes are (and how they differ from stem cells)
• Exosomes in skincare + microneedling: what's real vs hype
• Jen's conscious healing philosophy + the Conscious Healing Project

Alignment is not something you achieve — it's something you return to. In this episode, Charla Goodnight explores the deeper truth behind alignment, surrender, and frequency, drawing from Abraham Hicks teachings, astrology, and real-life lived wisdom shared by Laura Lee Lotto.

Rather than pushing for clarity or forcing outcomes, alignment invites relief, softness, and trust. This conversation reframes misalignment as feedback, not failure, and reminds you that your emotions are guidance pointing you back to your true self.

• Alignment is your natural state, not a destination
• You don't need to fix yourself to be worthy of feeling good
• Misalignment is feedback, not punishment
• Relief is the first step back into alignment
• Astrology reflects your frequency — it doesn't define or limit you
• Surrender is not giving up; it's stopping resistance
• You don't align by fixing circumstances — you align by softening toward them

"Alignment isn't self-improvement. Alignment is self-remembering."

"Relief is a doorway. You don't have to feel joyful — you just have to stop pushing."

"Surrender doesn't mean you like what's happening. It means you stop arguing with reality long enough to hear what it's offering you."

"Your birth chart is divine sheet music — misalignment happens when you try to play someone else's song."

Before an important moment — a decision, conversation, launch, or pause — take one deep breath and say:

"I am a clear channel of divine wisdom.
I allow what is meant for me to flow with ease."

Then let it go.

• Alignment & surrender
• Abraham Hicks teachings
• Astrology & frequency
• Emotional guidance system
• Divine timing
• Trusting intuition
• Releasing resistance
• Inner authority

Rage isn't a personality flaw — it's often a signal that something sacred in you has been crossed. In this powerful episode, Charla Goodnight explores the two paths of rage: the rage that protects and the rage that destroys.

You'll learn how rage is not something to eliminate, but something to lead, listen to, and transform into clarity, self-respect, and boundaries — without collateral damage. Whether your rage feels explosive or hidden beneath exhaustion and numbness, this episode offers grounding tools and somatic practices to help you turn rage into truth and liberation.

• Why rage is often the soul's signal that you've been ignored too long
• The difference between anger (spark) vs rage (accumulation)
• The two paths of rage: protective vs destructive
• How women are conditioned to suppress rage through "being nice" and "being the bigger person"
• Signs of stored rage in the body (jaw clenching, burnout, PMS, insomnia, anxiety, shutdown)
• Why suppressed rage often becomes fatigue, depression, people pleasing, or control
• The Rage → Clarity Process (3 powerful steps to shift it in real life)
• Somatic discharge tools: shaking, walking, cold water, roaring, pillow screaming, safe release
• Why calm isn't the goal — integrity is the goal
• What "Sacred Rage" looks like and how it restores your truth
• A closing grounding practice to reconnect to your inner leadership

Ask yourself:

• What boundary has been crossed?
• What truth did I swallow?
• What am I no longer available for?
• What one decision can I make this week to stop abandoning myself?

• The difference between "pushing emotions down" vs. transforming them
• Sacred rage: why rage isn't the problem—suppression is
• How women have been conditioned to silence anger, truth, and power

• Why Mary Magdalene has become such a powerful guide for women right now
• The inner balance of divine feminine + divine masculine (Hieros Gamos / divine union)
• Why healing your lineage can shift patterns for your children and future generations

• "Why do you want to get rid of your rage? It's about transforming it."

• "Don't apologize for the space you take up."
• "We need women who can teach women to be women again."

Beth is an initiated priestess of the Rose Lineage and Priestess of Isis traditions. She offers energy healing, mentorship, sacred trainings, and intuitive guidance designed to awaken self-love, embodied wisdom, and deep remembrance.

In this short but powerful solo episode of Collective Guidance, Charla Goodnight explores the missing piece of most fitness routines: the mind.

Following last week's conversation on strength training and longevity, Charla dives into the mental and emotional side of movement—how your self-talk, beliefs, and mindset directly impact whether you show up, stay consistent, and actually enjoy fitness.

With 30 years of experience as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, Charla shares real-life moments, practical mindset shifts, and compassionate encouragement to help you move from resistance to empowerment. This episode is for anyone who's ever sat in their car outside the gym, talked themselves out of a workout, or labeled fitness as a "chore."

Because fitness isn't punishment.
It's your body's natural state.

• Why mental fitness is just as important as physical strength
• How the words you use about fitness become beliefs stored in the body
• Simple mindset shifts to help you get into the gym—and stay there
• Why movement is a soul-driven desire, not an ego-based obligation
• How strength training builds emotional and mental resilience, not just muscle
• How to make fitness fun, empowering, and sustainable
• Practical guidance for starting (or restarting) a simple strength routine

• Movement is medicine—for your body, brain, and nervous system
• You don't need motivation; you need supportive self-talk
• Even 30–40 minutes counts—consistency matters more than perfection
• Strength training 3x per week can transform how you feel physically and emotionally
• You are allowed to feel proud of yourself right now, not "someday"

• Strength training: 3 days per week
• Reps: 6–12 range, depending on weight and experience
• Sets: 3 per exercise
• Full-body or upper/lower splits
• Mobility work before lifting

✨ Everything is possible with a simple shift in thought—and Charla believes in you. ✨

In this episode of Collective Guidance, Charla Goodnight offers a raw and compassionate teaching on what truly matters after awareness.

Using a recent personal moment as an entry point, Charla explores why awareness alone doesn't create change — and how our inner dialogue, fear responses, and avoidance patterns shape the body, nervous system, and healing process.

This episode weaves together emotional awareness, somatic wisdom, and spiritual leadership, reminding us that losing awareness under stress isn't failure — it's human.

• Why your inner dialogue is the real battlefield
• How thoughts move into the body and nervous system
• Why awareness fades under stress — and why that's normal
• How self-judgment shuts awareness down
• Why gentleness restores regulation
• The difference between fear and avoidance
• Cocooning vs. hiding
• How expression dissolves shame
• What real mastery looks like: choosing again without drama
  
  

You don't need to be less afraid.
You need to be more honest with yourself — with compassion.

This episode is an invitation to release blame, soften your inner voice, and remember that healing isn't perfection. It's presence.

Thank you for being here and practicing awareness — again and again.
