In this episode, Charlotte—The Connection Coach—reflects on the power of a summer pause. Between coaching women through transformation, preparing for a life-changing retreat, and finding joy on the pickleball court, she discovered how stepping back can actually move us forward.
Charlotte shares why intentional pauses are essential for personal growth and self-empowerment, especially for women navigating life pivots or craving more alignment in their work, relationships, and purpose. She also tells real stories from the court: lending her husband as a pickleball partner to a friend (flexibility at its finest!) and pushing her own boundaries by playing with strangers in Florida.
As the podcast evolves, get ready for fresh conversations on overcoming personal blocks, trusting yourself, and creating a life and business you love.
If you’re ready to step out of your comfort zone, embrace fun, and claim the confidence to build the life of your dreams—this episode is for you.

Speaker (00:02):
I know, I know.
I took a pause.
I decided to spend the summerplaying pickleball and focusing
on my coaching and preparing forthis amazing retreat that I went
to last week, and I only droppedone podcast episode a few weeks
(00:23):
ago when, oh my goodness.
All of our children came herefor the summer with their
partners and there was so muchgoing on and Olivia went back to
Scotland and Oh, yes, howpainful that was as a Mum now to
be back in an empty house.
(00:44):
My husband is here and my son ishere, but relatively speaking,
an empty house.
So yes, I took a pause and Italk about pauses a lot.
Pauses are good.
Pauses are times for us toreflect and integrate everything
that's been happening.
And figure out how we're goingto move forward.
(01:07):
And so I'm so excited to sharewith you that this podcast is
moving forward in an incredible,new, exciting way.
We are going to talk aboutpickleball.
We will always talk aboutpickleball.
How can I not?
But I want to share.
More of what is coming up for myclients in our coaching
(01:31):
containers, what I see as beingthe biggest blocks for people to
move forward, to step into theirpower, to step into their
dreams.
So watch out for lots moreexciting content.
And yes, of course there'salways pickleball.
So, okay, I feel like I need toexplain the title of this week's
(01:57):
podcast episode.
I lent her my husband.
What?
Yes, I did.
Okay.
So where are we going with this?
So I would say about six weeksago.
Neil and I realized that thetournament that we usually go
(02:17):
into at the end of the summerfor mixed couples was coming up
and we hadn't signed up for it.
And we happened to be outplaying with a group of people
that we play with on a Saturdaymorning and they mentioned, oh
yeah, the dates are such andsuch.
I think it was September the13th or something.
(02:39):
And Neil said, oh my gosh, yes,we will sign up.
Looking forward to it.
Hai and I will play.
We always play together.
He's my partner.
I'm his partner in life, loveand pickle ball.
And, I said, oh, no, Neil, Ican't make it.
That's when I'm away for thisretreat.
Oh my goodness.
(03:00):
And I was devastated.
This is not good.
Very similar.
Earlier on, actually at thebeginning of the summer when
Neil had an injury and I playedin a tournament with Al and Al
stepped in.
It's funny, isn't it?
How the ego loves and cravesthat familiarity and when we
(03:21):
shake things up a bit.
The ego steps in, the mind stepsin and says, whoa, hang on a
second.
This is not safe.
This is not what we do.
And in actual fact, that isexactly what we do.
If we want to grow, if we wantto expand and move into more of
(03:42):
our power, more of what we areactually capable of doing.
So.
We happened to be playing withthis other couple at the time
that I realized I could not makethis mixed tournament in
September, and it suddenly cameto me that this would be such a
beautiful gift that I could giveto my friend Cindy.
(04:04):
And I know I have shouted outCindy before.
She is incredible.
She's amazing.
She is a phenomenal pickleballplayer.
I love playing with her.
I love playing against her.
I love hanging out with her.
The four of us actually wentcycling a few weeks ago and we
ended up paddle boarding on acommunity lake here in Calgary
(04:27):
too.
It's just always fun when wehang out with Cindy and Vern.
So I thought.
This would be an incredible giftthat I could give to my friend
because, Cindy doesn't like togo into tournaments, and when
Vern plays in tournaments, heplays with another partner.
(04:47):
And Cindy and he, and this iswhat she says, don't play that
well together.
So I feel like she's missing outshe's missing out on an
opportunity to grow and toexperience what a tournament is
like from a player perspective.
She's volunteered.
For many tournaments helped outand organized and is incredible
(05:11):
at doing that.
But I thought here is anopportunity for her to play with
Neil.
And Neil is the perfect partnerfor her because.
Okay.
He does have a bit more of anego when he's on the pickleball
court, but I knew he would bevery compassionate with her.
(05:31):
He would hold space for her in avery gentle way so she could
show up exactly as she neededto, and I knew that she would
feel anxious about this, and Iknew she would worry about
letting him down.
And I knew also that he would beokay with having fun and not
(05:55):
having to get a medal, butpurely having fun and having
that experience.
And so in that moment I said,Hey, Cindy, why don't you and
Neil play together?
And she thought that was a greatidea and loves playing with
Neil.
And so she said to him, shall weplay together and bless him?
(06:20):
He said, I would love to playwith you, Cindy, but I always
play with chai.
I said, no, it's okay.
I actually, I won't be around.
That's when I'm away.
So please, the two of you shouldplay this would be amazing.
And so they signed up and wentin for the tournament and I know
(06:42):
Cindy was.
Nervous and I know that she alsoplayed incredibly well and she
didn't let her nerves get thebetter of her.
And she showed up and she hadfun and oh my goodness, I am so
proud of her.
Now you are hearing this.
I'm putting it out there, Cindy,come on the podcast.
(07:04):
Come and share what thatexperience was like for you,
because I know you are aninspiration to so many people
who are feeling anxious aboutstepping outta their comfort
zone.
For thinking about doingsomething different, something
that feels more aligned with whothey truly are, rather than
(07:29):
mechanically monotonously goingabout the same routine every
day.
I know Cindy, that you are anabsolute inspiration to other
women and men as well, but otherwomen who perhaps think, I can't
do that.
(07:49):
That's not me.
It's okay for so and so or otherpeople.
They're braver than I am.
And what I am saying to you is.
Everyone has felt that anxietyat some point about something,
everyone has stepped up to anedge and felt like they could
(08:10):
not move past that, and theirnervous system shut down and
their mind ran 10 to the dozen,telling them all the reasons why
they couldn't do something.
We have all been in thatsituation I guarantee it.
There is not one person.
And if there is, come forward,let's have a conversation
because I would love to talk toyou.
(08:32):
Big shout out to Cindy.
I'm so proud of you.
You two I know had an amazingtime and you won some great
games you didn't come home witha medal, and that's okay I think
you won so much more than apiece of metal around your neck.
You, you won, putting yourselfout there and believing in
(08:53):
yourself.
And I also want to share that atthe same time Neil and Cindy
were playing in this tournament.
I was stepping outside mycomfort zone as well.
So I had flown to Florida forthis retreat, which was amazing.
Shout out to Cathy Heller.
(09:13):
What an incredible"Infinite YesRetreat".
Yes.
Saying yes to yourself.
Oh my gosh.
How apt?
And so I had flown out and wasstaying in this beautiful
resort, the Boca Resort, whichhas its own pickleball courts.
And I arrived late on theThursday night and I took my
(09:35):
pickleball paddle and I thought,okay.
I really want to play pickleballin Florida, but who do I play
with?
I don't know anyone here.
I'd reached out to a couple ofpeople that I know play that
might be in the area.
Nobody was, so I had no choice.
If I wanted to play, which Ireally did, then I had to go and
(10:00):
find the courts and sign up andput myself there.
In open play in front of a bunchof strangers, and of course, all
these things run through mymind, oh, I'm not brave enough.
This is not what I do.
They're going to judge me.
(10:20):
They're going to think I'm acrap player, I'm gonna miss
shots.
I'm going to make a fool ofmyself.
This is not what you do.
Stay in your lane and becomfortable.
And I think I've grown up havingthat voice in my head, stay in
your lane, be comfortable.
And I am in a stage of my lifewhere I refuse to stay in my
(10:44):
lane.
I refuse to stay comfortable fortoo long.
I am growing, growing, growing,pushing myself out there.
We only have one life forgoodness sake.
I could have another 40 years,God willing, and I have.
So much more I want to do.
So I grabbed my paddle, put onmy pickleball shoes, and took
(11:07):
myself over to the resorts,pickleball courts, and this is a
top class resort.
People play here because they'reserious.
I knew this was not your regularsort of public open play, where
there would be, you know,beginners, maybe people of
different kinds of levels, maybenot so serious people.
(11:31):
I knew that the members of thisclub were serious players and.
I didn't talk myself out of it.
I showed up and I put myself outthere and I'm damn proud of
myself.
And you know what?
I met some beautiful people.
Of course I did because theyplay pickleball.
(11:54):
I met some incredible women thatI played with, so friendly, so
welcoming, and I played withsome really great guys who
elcomed me and asked me to playagain, and I played so many
games that morning and I had somuch fun.
(12:15):
And isn't that what life issupposed to be about?
It's about fun.
It's about giving ourselvespermission to have.
Fun and not worrying if we messup or we don't look perfect, or
if that doubt creeps in.
We are human.
We all come from the same placeof feeling like, will I fit in
(12:37):
here?
Is this where I belong?
Can I really take this next bigstep?
So.
I wanted to share that with you.
I'm pretty damn proud of myselfbecause I knew me two, three
years ago would not have donethat.
I knew the me.
A couple of years ago would'veneeded someone to go with me,
(13:01):
someone to be my partner incrime.
And here I was stepping out onmy own.
And for those of you who do thisregularly, oh my gosh, you are
an inspiration.
I love that.
You are incredible.
I take my hat off to you, butthat was not something I.
I think I've ever really beencomfortable with stepping out
(13:24):
and doing things on my own forfear of being judged by others,
for fear of not coming up to parof failing, failing, of looking
like I'm an idiot and I don'tknow what I'm doing, of being
judged, of having peoplewhispering behind their back and
pointing the finger at me andjudging me.
(13:45):
Oh my gosh.
That is a heavy burden to bear,but I had the most incredible
time.
It energized me more than I cantell you.
It was just such a beautifulplace.
Shout out to the Boca Resort andto everybody that I played with
(14:05):
there on that Friday morning,there was Neil from New York.
Michael originally fromCopenhagen and so many other
beautiful people who.
Welcomed me into theirpickleball circle.
And I had so much fun and thensaid to me, oh my gosh, when can
you come back?
(14:26):
When can you play again?
And I said, oh, I'm actuallybusy for the next three days on
a retreat.
But.
What a lovely feeling to bewelcomed in.
You just never really know wherelife is going to take you.
When you open yourself up toexpanding and receiving and
(14:48):
putting yourself out there in away that you normally wouldn't.
The universe steps up to meetyou.
We often feel like we arewaiting for that sign.
Show me that sign and then Iwill act, show me that
reassurance that I need to dothis, or this is my path, or
(15:11):
this is my purpose.
I don't think that's what it is.
I honestly believe it startswith every single one of us.
It starts with me.
I take the next step, I set theintention, I put myself out
there, and the universe opens upso many more opportunities and
(15:33):
possibilities for me.
What an incredible feeling andyeah, am onto the next amazing
and I'm not saying it's easy.
I just want to reiterate thatthe nervous system is there to
protect us, to keep us safe.
I mean, think about it.
Think about caveman days.
When our lizard brain wasdeveloped and we woke up every
(15:59):
morning stuck our head out ofthe cave and checked for danger.
We didn't have the opportunityto look up at the sun and think,
oh, hello Sun.
Good morning.
How lovely that you are shiningon my face.
Let me just soak in the warmthand the energy and let me just
(16:22):
get my vitamin D for the day.
No, we were checking, am I safe?
Am I safe?
Is there danger?
Is there a lion going to eat me?
Am I safe?
This is what the nervous systemdoes, and until we rewrite those
neuro pathways, until we wake upand feel the sun on our face.
(16:46):
And absorb that incredibleenergy and vitamin D from the
sun.
Until we make that choice, thenwe are stuck in that loop of
watching out for danger, makingsure that we are safe, and there
are so many.
(17:07):
Different practices that we cando every day, and it's like
building a muscle where wepractice slowing down taking a
pause connecting to our breathconnecting to our bodies and
listening to the wisdom of ourbodies and reassuring ourselves
(17:28):
that it's okay.
I am safe.
I've got this.
I'm stepping into my power andthis is how I'm moving forward
today.
So I wanted to share with youthat I gave myself permission to
have fun.
I gave myself permission to stepout of my comfort zone and to
try something that felt scaryand something that felt unsafe,
(17:51):
and I survived.
And so can you.

Shout out to the Boca Resort andto everybody that I played with
(14:05):
there on that Friday morning,there was Neil from New York.
Michael originally fromCopenhagen and so many other
beautiful people who.
Welcomed me into theirpickleball circle.
And I had so much fun and thensaid to me, oh my gosh, when can
you come back?
(14:26):
When can you play again?
And I said, oh, I'm actuallybusy for the next three days on
a retreat.
But.
What a lovely feeling to bewelcomed in.
You just never really know wherelife is going to take you.
When you open yourself up toexpanding and receiving and
(14:48):
putting yourself out there in away that you normally wouldn't.
The universe steps up to meetyou.
We often feel like we arewaiting for that sign.
Show me that sign and then Iwill act, show me that
reassurance that I need to dothis, or this is my path, or
(15:11):
this is my purpose.
I don't think that's what it is.
I honestly believe it startswith every single one of us.
It starts with me.
I take the next step, I set theintention, I put myself out
there, and the universe opens upso many more opportunities and
(15:33):
possibilities for me.
What an incredible feeling andyeah, am onto the next amazing
and I'm not saying it's easy.
I just want to reiterate thatthe nervous system is there to
protect us, to keep us safe.
I mean, think about it.
Think about caveman days.
When our lizard brain wasdeveloped and we woke up every
(15:59):
morning stuck our head out ofthe cave and checked for danger.
We didn't have the opportunityto look up at the sun and think,
oh, hello Sun.
Good morning.
How lovely that you are shiningon my face.
Let me just soak in the warmthand the energy and let me just
(16:22):
get my vitamin D for the day.
No, we were checking, am I safe?
Am I safe?
Is there danger?
Is there a lion going to eat me?
Am I safe?
This is what the nervous systemdoes, and until we rewrite those
neuro pathways, until we wake upand feel the sun on our face.
(16:46):
And absorb that incredibleenergy and vitamin D from the
sun.
Until we make that choice, thenwe are stuck in that loop of
watching out for danger, makingsure that we are safe, and there
are so many.
(17:07):
Different practices that we cando every day, and it's like
building a muscle where wepractice slowing down taking a
pause connecting to our breathconnecting to our bodies and
listening to the wisdom of ourbodies and reassuring ourselves
(17:28):
that it's okay.
I am safe.
I've got this.
I'm stepping into my power andthis is how I'm moving forward
today.
So I wanted to share with youthat I gave myself permission to
have fun.
I gave myself permission to stepout of my comfort zone and to
try something that felt scaryand something that felt unsafe,
(17:51):
and I survived.
And so can you.
