Who is Coach Charon?

Hi there, I am Coach Charon, Certified Life Coach, CEO, and Founder of Coached By Charon, LLC. It is our mission to help women who neglect themselves and lack clarity, commitment, and confidence to accomplish three major feats: 1. To become their number one priority. 2. To identify  and utilize the power they posses in order to operate at the peak of their purpose. 3. To demonstrate what living a life ON PURPOSE looks like.  You can call me your Mindset Accountability Coach where I meet you where you are and empower you to get to where you want to be. 

 

I was the woman who neglected herself.  After becoming a young mother at 19 and marrying my husband at the age of 21, making me priority was null and void.  My 20 year career as an educator didn't help matters either.  Although I loved my job, I always felt overworked and underappreciated.  I did everything for everyone else and always put my needs at the bottom of my list of priorities.  That neglect resulted in a number of  individual insecurities, self sabotaging behaviors, ferocious fear, debilitating doubt, and needless negativity. It prevented me from reaching the peak of the mountain of personal challenges, blocked me from building a better bond with my husband, and derailed me from maintaining a loving and lasting relationship with my daughters.  For years I felt broken.  During those dreadful days, respect for myself was lost, communication with my family was damaged, and my hope that things would get better was nonexistent.

 

Even though my marriage suffered tremendously and was severely strained, the negative affects my personal neglect had on my daughters was another huge setback.  At that time, I thought that because I put all of my efforts and focus on raising them to be the best they could be, my kids would have a better life, become a more productive citizen, and be more successful than I ever was.   I thought that what I was doing was what was best for them.  That was a big mistake.  I realized that all I was doing was teaching them how to neglect themselves just as I did.  Once they became teenagers, it didn't matter how much I put them first, how much I poured into them, or how much I told them of what they needed to do to live their best life. Even with all the hard work I put into them, they eventually grew up to be who they want to be.  They took on attitudes, behaviors, and perspectives that I never even taught, raised them to think, or encouraged them to become.  That was a hard pill to swallow.  To add to that disappointment, they developed some of the negative behaviors I displayed.  It became clear that my daughters were learning by watching what I did, more than they were listening to what I said.  Despite my efforts, I was trying to pour into them from an empty cup.  I realized then that I should have demonstrated to them how to prioritize themselves by first pouring into my own life, and becoming the best woman I could be.  By the time this became evident, my oldest daughter was away in college and my two younger daughters were in their final years of high school.  I decided there was no time like the present to shift my focus.  Better late than never, right?

 

First, I had to learn to prioritize myself by putting me first.  I began to INVEST in improving me.  I received help from the community of people around me who loved me: my mentor, pastor, close family, and friends.  I worked hard to better myself as a woman. I improved my physical health, revamped my attitude,  and addressed the behaviors that needed to change. Next, I devoted myself to reestablishing the relationships and connections with my family both individually and collectively.  I was transparent about my flaws and failures, shared the journey of my transformation, and put in the work to initiate open dialogue.  I learned how to overcome the challenges I faced and progressed towards operating in my POWER.  My daughters began to notice a change in my behavior, began to look at me from a different lens, and respected me for doing the work.  To top that all off, I noticed a difference in their attitudes and behaviors as well.  We're all still a work in progress, but the trajectory of where we are now continues to point in the right direction.  The feeling of accomplishing this great feat is amazing! It took a while, however, for me to get there.  That is why I am so passionate about coaching women, especially mothers, so that they can experience the exhilaration that putting yourself first and becoming the best woman they can be... a lot faster than I did!
