A Gentle Start to the New Year: Plans, Mindset & What I’m Excited About (Ask Charlie)

I’m kicking off the year with a quiet sit-down and a proper catch-up. No decluttering, no cooking - just a chat by the fire about last year, what moving here has given us, and how I want this year to feel.

I talk about creativity and confidence, writing my first book Through the Seasons, and why saying yes to new opportunities changed so much for me. I share what I want more of this year - cooking, stitching, travel, strength and fresh air - and why looking after myself has to come first if I’m going to have anything to give.

We chat mindset, motivation and making changes at a sensible pace, a little update on the horses, and what’s coming up next, including marmalade season! If you fancy a calm start to January and a moment to reflect, pop the kettle on and join me.

Love,

Charlie x
