    What If Your Life's Work Is Slowly Draining You Instead of Fueling You?

    What if the work you're so passionate about is slowly draining you and turning into something it was never meant to be? It’s more common than you think—especially when you're driven by impact, legacy, and a vision bigger than yourself. In this video, we’re talking about the one key ingredient that makes your life’s work truly sustainable—not just for a season, but for the long haul. Because the truth is: if your work doesn’t feel good along the way, it won’t feel like the success you imagined when you get there. If you're ready to do your life’s work in a way that feels good every step of the way—without losing momentum or diluting your mission—this video is for you.” 🔑 Inside this video, you'll discover: The surprising reason your work can start feeling heavier than it should Why prioritizing how you feel day-to-day is the secret to long-term success The key shift that helps you detach from external pressure and stay connected to your mission 00:00 Introduction: The Importance of Passion in Work 00:23 The Key Ingredient for Sustainable Work 00:42 Avoiding Burnout in Your Mission 03:06 The Revelation: Authenticity Over Perfection 04:30 The Journey vs. The Destination 17:15 Mission Over Metrics 24:24 The Impact of Alignment in Life and Work 30:19 Conclusion: Ensuring Your Calling Stands the Test of Time 🎯 Want to go deeper? I’ve found that the best next step in making sure your work fuels you—not drains you—is to uncover the real source of your desires. Are they coming from alignment, inspiration, and true calling? Or are they rooted in resistance, proving, or external expectations? Because here’s the truth: If your desires are coming from pressure, your work will drain you. But if they’re coming from pure alignment, your work will fuel you. Session 4 of Grounded in Greatness is here to support you with this: “How to Move From ‘I Need This to Happen’ to ‘It Already is Happening.’” This session will help you: ✔️ Shift from force and pressure to certainty and ease in your work ✔️ Recognize when a goal is truly yours vs. driven by external expectations ✔️ Learn how to create from alignment so that your work fuels you every step of the way ✨ Click here to access the replay → https://www.charlseychilders.com/groundedingreatness CONNECT WITH ME: Instagram: @charlseychilders YouTube: @charlseychilders Website: www.charlseychilders.com Did something in particular resonate with you?

    How to Feel Like Things Are Happening for You (Even Before They Show Up)

    🔥 Continue the energy of this conversation inside Grounded in Greatness! This week, we’re talking about Taking Our Trust to the Next Level This Year—because trust isn’t just believing things will happen, it’s showing up knowing they already are. Sign up here → https://www.charlseychilders.com/groundedingreatness Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things, but nothing is happening yet? You’re showing up and making moves—but instead of momentum, it just feels like… waiting. Here’s why this matters: “Waiting” energy slows you down in ways you don’t even realize. It makes you second-guess yourself, tweak things unnecessarily, hesitate instead of boldly moving forward, and—without meaning to—it actually pushes away the very success you’re trying to create. In this video, I’m helping you recognize the subtle ways waiting energy might be showing up in your business and, more importantly, how to shift into an energy where things start moving in your favor—faster. 🔥 Here’s what you’ll get from this video: ✔️ How to recognize when you’re unconsciously waiting for proof, validation, or permission to move forward ✔️ The hidden cost of “waiting” energy and how it impacts your momentum ✔️ The exact shift that helps you feel like things are happening for you now—even before you see results ✔️ What to focus on instead so you stay in momentum and create success from a place of trust Because the truth is—you’re not waiting. You’re preparing. You’re gathering. You’re strengthening your capacity to hold everything you’re asking for. ✨ Take this shift even deeper: 🔥 Join Grounded in Greatness and step into this energy fully: https://www.charlseychilders.com/groundedingreatness 🚀 If you’re ready for the full transformation, learn more about BTG: https://www.charlseychilders.com/btg-journey 00:00 Introduction: The Waiting Game 01:13 Personal Experience: Hitting a Wall 02:22 Recognizing the Trap of Waiting 04:55 Shifting from Waiting to Creating 10:55 Community and Support 12:30 Embracing the Creating Energy 22:44 The Purpose of the Waiting Season 26:36 Final Thoughts: Trust the Process CONNECT WITH ME: Instagram: @charlseychilders YouTube: @charlseychilders Website: www.charlseychilders.com Did something in particular resonate with you?
