  • Why Romanticizing Your Life Actually Works
    Jan 14 2026

    Romanticizing your life isn’t about escaping reality or pretending everything is perfect. It’s about choosing intention, presence, and beauty inside the life you already have.

    In this episode of Queens Behind the Scenes, we explore why romanticizing your everyday moments is not frivolous or naïve, but practical, grounding, and deeply sustaining. From small rituals and intentional routines to creating moments of care in the middle of real life, this conversation unpacks how softness, presence, and meaning can transform how life feels without requiring a complete overhaul.

    This episode builds on the same philosophy explored in P.O.I.S.E.: The Blueprint for Escaping Burnout, Redefining Success, and Creating Your New Reality, where success is redefined beyond constant urgency and performance, and in The P.O.I.S.E. Leadership Action Workbook, which focuses on sustainable leadership, intentional living, and long-term endurance.

    If you’ve been craving more joy, calm, and connection in your daily life, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need a new life to feel better — you need a different way of experiencing the one you’re already living.

    This is an invitation to slow down, soften your days, and reimagine what it means to truly live well.

  • How You Know When a Season Is Ending
    Jan 7 2026

    Some seasons don’t end with drama.
    They end with resistance.

    In this solo episode of Queens Behind the Scenes, Charise Beckett speaks directly to the woman who is still capable, still performing, and still successful — but quietly questioning why everything feels heavier than it used to.

    This conversation isn’t about quitting or burning things down.
    It’s about discernment.
    About recognizing the difference between commitment and self-abandonment.
    About learning to trust the signals your body, energy, and intuition have been offering long before your mind catches up.

    In this episode, you’ll hear reflections on:

    • How to recognize when a season is ending at work, in relationships, or within yourself

    • The difference between burnout and misalignment — and why rest doesn’t fix everything

    • Why hustle seasons have an expiration date

    • How quiet disengagement, resistance, and fatigue can be signals of growth, not failure

    • What you’re allowed to be unavailable for in your next season

    This episode is for high-performing women who are not lost — they are evolving.
    Not behind — they are between seasons.

    If you’ve been asking, “Why does this feel heavier than it used to?”
    This conversation is for you.
