Most New Year’s resolutions don’t last, so in this Flight Club episode we talk about a better way to start the year: name your year, set your top priorities, and make a plan with enough room for God to direct your steps.

Charlotte shares why vision should inspire you instead of drive you, how to keep your “top buttons” in order so life doesn’t feel out of sync, and why discipline matters—but trust in God’s timing matters just as much. If you’re heading into 2026 feeling overwhelmed or unsure what to focus on, this conversation will help you simplify and move forward with peace.

In this episode we cover:

• Why New Year’s resolutions usually fade
• How to name your year (and why it works)
• Vision vs goals (and how to use both)
• “Top buttons” priorities for family, faith, and work
• How to say no without guilt
• A prayer over the year ahead

What does it really mean to empower others — and not control them?

In this episode of Flight Club, Charlotte dives into one of the hardest leadership tensions we all face: learning how to release people well. Whether you’re leading a team, parenting young adults, serving in ministry, or navigating friendships and transitions, empowerment always requires trust, surrender, and courage.

Charlotte unpacks the difference between encouragement and control, why releasing people can feel personal, and how insecurity can quietly shrink our vision. Using powerful biblical examples, leadership stories, and the imagery of caterpillars, cocoons, and wings, this conversation reframes what healthy leadership truly looks like.

If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, felt hurt when someone chose a different path, or wondered how to send people well without losing the relationship — this episode is for you.
