A little bit about Charis:

Little bit of her story. When she was 19, a family hot air balloon ride changed her life forever. A crash landing left her Dad with a broken neck, Charis with a broken heart, and her Mom an alcoholic. She managed her internal crisis by staying impossibly busy, giving herself the illusion of safety and control. This accident became the catalyst that led her to a journey of dramatic healing and calling to become a certified coach. 

Charis is now a Life Balance & Transition Coach and host of the Charis Your Life® Podcast. 

She believes that through deep tragedy, there is light waiting to break through. Her core teachings fuse the principles and frameworks of Fearless Living® and Positive Intelligence® as she helps people go from Busy to Balanced™…and Beyond.
