Known for her relatable and approachable communication style, Char has become a sought-after speaker, mentor, and advocate. She is dedicated to sharing her inspiring story of survival to self-re-discovery and transformation, as a four-time breast cancer thriver. She believes her life purpose is to “bless and serve others, as she's been blessed.” She accomplishes this through her books, speaking engagements, guest appearances, and events.

Char’s journey is one of resilience and transformation. After overcoming numerous personal and professional challenges—including raising her son as a single mother, enduring a dysfunctional childhood, and providing care for her father, who suffered from ALS, and her mother, who battled Alzheimer’s—Char found herself facing an unexpected trial. Despite a successful 15-year career as a highly respected attorney, Char was forced to retire due to the debilitating effects of four-time recurrent breast cancer and its treatments. As a result, she found her true identity and purpose.

Rather than succumbing to despair, Char used these challenges as a catalyst for growth. She turned her hardships into a mission to inspire others, teaching them how to trust in their strength, have hope, and embrace change. Her transformational message is one of thriving through adversity and embracing life’s transitions with hope, faith, trust, and self-belief.

Today, Char considers her greatest accomplishments not the awards or accolades, but her ability to support and mentor others in reimagining their dreams and living with purpose and joy
