are you still trying to do it all on your own?
I’m here to help your mind believe it, and to help you make the changes and develop the habits that will keep you on the path that is calling to you.
I’m Charity Lighten (pleased to e-meet you :)
I’m a Mindset Mentor and "Change" Coach.
Sometimes life is hard and overwhelming.
Sometimes we feel stuck or find ourselves thinking we would be further along than we are by now.
Sometimes we need a reminder of what sparked us in the first place, and sometimes we need a little help seeing the things that might be holding us back (and the tools to propel us).
Now these aren’t necessarily the kinds of habits that you might initially think of, like drinking enough water, reading personal development books, and getting enough sleep (although each of those are helpful).
These are the types of habits that can actually CHANGE you from the inside out.
These are the habits that have the ability to transform your life and take you from where you are to what you knew you could always become.
These habits begin in your mind and include things like the habit of belief, the habit of perspective, the habit of abundance, and the habit of appreciation.
These are time-tested principles and practices that truly can help you change any (and every) aspect of your life!
These were the exact things that helped me during the hardest time of my life.
These are the words that he said, and my brain couldn’t quite comprehend.
We fell in love when I was 19. He was 23.
I was from Canada.
He was from Colorado.
We met at University in Utah.
My sweet husband Dan, my best friend and father to our 4 children came home from a scheduled colonoscopy, and told me that he had cancer.
A few days later we would find out that it was already stage 4.
The prognosis was deafening…18 months…maybe 2 years if we were lucky.
We fought hard …. I say we because it truly was team effort.
I was his rock and he was mine.
Between the two of us, and with God by our side, we felt we would conquer the world.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t conquer cancer.
God gave us 4 incredible years together and in 2019 my life changed forever as I peacefully lost the better half of me.
So today I sit here. Thinking of all the pain and all the joy, and the hundreds of things that I have learned on this journey…and I hope to share every single one of them.
But for now, …for today…this message is simple…
My dad always used to say, “That which we don’t learn from wisdom, we learn from experience.”
-The secret to facing ANY obstacle ...no matter how big or small
-Skills that can increase capacity in all areas of your life
-Tools to improve your adaptability to any situation
-Some of the largest stumbling blocks to personal peace and happiness
-Habits that can keep you steady in a storm
-How to overcome fear and self-doubt
-Ways to move forward with confidence rather than falter in fear
And best of all…
I’ve had the honor of helping
people like you do the same thing!
How?
My favorite way to answer this question would be to invite you into my home, break bread with you (definitely sourdough) and sit and chat. But until that can happen, I thought it would be helpful to share some of my core values with you.
Energy, positivity, passion, and a healthy dose of humor (and maybe a little intensity sprinkled in) - that’s my fuel for life. We all know that life can be hard, but having fun, enjoying the process, and being able to laugh is the key to the journey.
Excellence
Never stop improving, never stop growing. Finding deep gratitude in what I have been given is a must, but staying open, curious, and continually looking for ways to progress and be better is what lights me up.
Devotion
I love God. It’s probably these 3 words that impacts and influences all the other parts of my life. It is my love of God that drives my desire to want to be a good mother, a good wife, a good friend, a good citizen, and a good steward. We are all human and we all make mistakes, but I know that God fills in the gaps and can make all things possible.
Courage
Be brave. Be bold. Take action. Try the hard thing. Failure is an opportunity to learn and grow. Life is short, and the only “wrong” thing is doing “nothing”. We never want to become “stagnant” so moving forward, finding solutions, and taking action is how we try to live.
Communication
This happens to be my love language. Being able to talk, ask questions, share ideas, voice concerns, and express myself openly and feel understood are foundation pieces of what I value. And with that comes an increased desire to be on the receiving end. To be a better listener and grow in love, understanding, and unity.
Integrity
“My word is my bond.” It’s as simple as that. I take deep personal responsibility in making sure that who I am on the outside matches who I am on the inside. Honesty, commitment, fairness, and dependability are at the core of who I want to be.
I help people overcome the challenges that are keeping them stuck.
Whether it’s fear & uncertainty, limiting thought patterns, self-doubt, playing small, or simply just bad habits that have stuck around too long...
I am passionate about helping people take action, get results, and create the thriving life that want (and deserve.)
Through a series of one-on-one coaching, group coaching calls, webinars, emails, and worksheets I teach skills such as:
Mindset
Goal Setting
Eliminating Self-Doubt
Habit Hacking
Building Resilience
Time Management
Managing Negativity
Overcoming Insecurities
Seeing my clients gain incredible confidence, harness the power of their mindset, establish powerful habits and achieve new levels of success is what lights me up!
