From 'Forge' to Faith: A Surprising And Unexpected Conversation About God

In this touching episode of Share It With Charlotte, I share a recent, unexpected encounter with someone who surprised me with a simple but profound statement: "I want to know who God is..."I want to know Him" He had watched the Christian film The Forge, and something in it stirred his heart. But it wasn’t the movie alone that led him to share this with me—it was the fact that he saw something in me. He told me he felt safe asking because he believed I was a good person. This moment reminded me of how the way we live, love, and represent our faith can quietly impact others. I was able to encourage him to seek out a Bible-teaching church, and remind him that God is ready to meet him right where he is. Tune in as we explore the importance of living authentically and being the kind of person others feel safe approaching when their heart begins to seek.

It’s All on Me: Surviving the Solo Caregiver Journey

In this follow-up episode of Share It With Charlotte, we continue our conversation for Mental Health Awareness Month—this time shining a light on the caregivers who carry the weight alone. When support is limited or nonexistent, the emotional, mental, and physical toll can be overwhelming. This episode reflects on what it truly means to care for a loved one with Dementia or Alzheimer’s without a village behind you. If you’ve ever felt isolated, exhausted, or invisible in your caregiving journey, this conversation is for you. You are not alone—and you deserve to be seen.  But you don’t have to suffer in silence. I’ll also highlight practical programs, resources, and services available to help you find support, relief, and balance. Whether you’re just beginning the journey or deep in the struggle, this episode offers encouragement, connection, and hope.
