If Someone Makes You Dim Your Light, They're Not Your Person

Charla Goodnight returns after a 30-day hiatus to share the real reason behind her absence — the end of a two-year relationship that fell apart over her spiritual path. In this raw and honest episode, she talks about the recurring pattern of partners who couldn't hold space for her spirituality, why she'll never dim her light for anyone's comfort again, and how she used automatic writing to move through the grief. She closes the episode by reading an original automatic writing piece live. Topics Covered: * Taking accountability for a month away from the podcast * The end of a two-year relationship and what it revealed * A recurring pattern: relationships ending over spirituality * Releasing people who aren't "your people" without resentment * Ego pain vs. soul growth * Automatic writing as a grief and healing practice * A live reading of an original automatic writing piece We'd love to hear from you! 💛 If you have a story to share, a question for the show, or just want to connect, reach out anytime: 🌐 Website: https://collectiveguidance.com/ [https://collectiveguidance.com/]📩 Email: charla@collectiveguidance.com 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveguidancepodcast/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/collectiveguidancepodcast/?hl=en]🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/collective-guidance-with-charla-goodnight/id1841118592 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/collective-guidance-with-charla-goodnight/id1841118592]📺 Watch on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@CollectiveGuidancePodcast [http://www.youtube.com/@CollectiveGuidancePodcast] 💫 JOIN THE COLLECTIVE MEMBERSHIP: Weekly movement + meditation Zooms with Charla. https://collectiveguidance.com/collective-membership-1289 [https://collectiveguidance.com/collective-membership-1289] Subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so you never miss an episode.

78: Full Moon in Capricorn + Jupiter in Leo + Mercury Retrograde | Self-Inventory Ritual

What have you accomplished in the last six months — and what are you ready to release? In this episode of Collective Guidance, host Charla Goodnight guides you through a heart-centered self-inventory ritual designed to track where you've been and clarify where your soul wants to go. Released on the Full Moon in Capricorn — the same day Jupiter moves into Leo and Mercury goes retrograde into Cancer — this episode is a timely invitation to reflect, release, and realign with your soul's desires. Charla shares why the Full Moon is the ideal time to review the six months since the New Moon in Capricorn, a simple nightly self-inventory practice, and how the shift of Jupiter into Leo amplifies your self-expression and manifesting power. She also reframes Mercury Retrograde in Cancer as an invitation to slow down, communicate with compassion, and lead from the heart. You'll walk away with practical grounding tools — hydration, music, movement, and "joy as resistance" — to raise your frequency and step into the big, expansive energy of Jupiter in Leo season. In this episode: * The power of self-inventory for soul evolution * Using the Full Moon to reflect on the last six months * A nightly practice to release what no longer serves you * Jupiter in Leo: bigger expression, bigger manifestations * Moving through Mercury Retrograde in Cancer with patience * Grounding rituals and joy as resistance * The heart as the true center of manifestation Spirit always has your back. Call on your angels and guides — they're here to support you.

77: You're Not Broken — You're Carrying Your Ancestors' Unfinished Stories

In this heartfelt and grounding episode, host Charla Goodnight explores the relationship between prayer and meditation — and how both practices became her lifeline during personal conflict and relationship pain. Inspired by a quote from Rick Rubin — "Prayer is talking to God. Meditation is listening" — Charla unpacks what it truly means to find stillness, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with your soul during life's most challenging moments. Charla opens up about navigating a significant argument in a two-year relationship, how she prayed for resolution, and how leaning on her angels, guides, and spiritual support system brought peace within 24 hours. She also shares a powerful reframe for anyone grieving the end of a relationship: it's not a loss — it's a change in frequency. What You'll Hear in This Episode: * The difference between prayer and meditation (and why you need both) * Charla's personal pre-meditation breathwork routine * How conflict affects your nervous system — and how to come back to center * Why relationships end when frequencies can no longer align * How to grieve a relationship ending from a soul-level perspective * A beginner-friendly 1-minute meditation using box breathing Box Breathing (Try It Today): Inhale 4 counts | Hold 6 counts | Exhale 6 counts. Set a 1-minute timer and breathe. Key Reminder From This Episode: You are not alone. You are always supported by Spirit, your universe, and God — and there are others walking the same path.

In this soul-stirring episode of Collective Guidance, host Charla Goodnight explores the spiritual and psychological concept of resistance — and why the things we fight hardest against keep showing up in our lives. Drawing from her own lived experience with physical pain, a relationship ending, and the pressure of performing "having it all together," Charla unpacks what resistance truly is, why we do it, and most importantly — how to release it.

Whether you're going through an ending, a transition, or simply feeling like you're at war with yourself, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. ✍️ Journal Prompt from This Episode: Write down what you are resisting right now.
