You’ve got the One-Spoon Day Planner heading to your inbox as we speak — now let’s make those spoons stretch even further. For just $27 $17, join me for the Rest-First Workshop — a gentle, practical class to help you stop pushing through and start building a life that actually works with your energy (not against it).

 

The Rest-first workshop

What To Do When You Only Have One Spoon

A nervous-system-friendly guide to running your business when you're out of capacity. 

 

 

You don't need another productivity system. 

You need a plan for the days when you're running on empty - and a way to run your business that actually honours your energy, not shames it. 


If you're an entrepreneur with a chronic illness, you already know what it's like to: 

Crash hard after pushing through

Feel stuck in freeze mode when you're overwhelmed

Have a million things on your list, but no spoons to spare

Wonder how everyone else is doing it all  when you can barely open your laptop

This workshop is your permission slip - and your plan - to stop trying to keep up and start building a business that actually works for you.

 

Inside, You'll Learn:

What to actually do when you wake up with no energy but a full plate of tasks

How to strategically pause, reset, and move forward gently

The Rest-First Checklist to help you run your business without  burning out

A powerful mindset shift that frees you from toxic productivity

My One-Spoon Strategy Map to prioritize the right things and let go of the rest. 

 

Here's the truth:

It doesn't have to be this way

If you've been taught to ignore your body's cues, to power through no matter the cost, or to measure your worth by how much you get done - you're not alone. 

May of us were never shown another way. But your body is wise. It's not broken. And it's not lazy. It's asking for a new rhythm - one rooted in rest, softness, and sustainability. 

The Rest-First Workshop is a gentle invitation to reconnect with yourself and learn how to move through your day in a way that honours your energy, instead of constantly draining it. 

You don't have to earn rest. 

You don't have to wait until you burnout again. 

You're allowed to begin now - with one small shift, one soft breath, one kind moment at a time. 

Let this be your starting point. You're so welcome here.

"Working with Charlene on Mindfulness and Meditation has made all the difference in my very busy life. Her calming voice is a constant reminder in the back of my head to stay present and tuned in, whether I'm eating a meal , walking down the street or working with a client. I recommend working with Charlene if you are feeling disconnected from yourself & you need to learn how to quiet the outside noise & come home to your heart."

"Charlene has such a warm & calming energy. You can't help but feel at peace when you're near her. I did outdoor guided meditation with her & it was the perfect way to set me up for a productive day."

Meet your teacher

Hi, I'm Charlene!

Mindfulness coach and chronic illness entrepreneur. 

After a traumatic brain injury flipped my world upside down, I learned how to run a business from a place of self-trust, nervous system awareness, and daily kindness. Now I help others do the same - with zero shame and pressure.

The Rest-First Workshop is what I wish I had during my worst burnout. And now it's here for you.

  

But it wasn't always this way...

I used to overthink and second-guess everything. My anxiety ran the show and it affected every aspect of my life: my career, my relationships with others, even my health. 

 And then in 2013 I was hit by a bus.  

Suddenly my anxiety was all encompassing.  

In addition to undergoing therapy I started learning mindfulness meditations and practices and my life completely changed. 
 
I learned how to remain calm in a crisis, to let go of all of the silly worries & stresses that once consumed my thoughts and to find a sense of peace even when it felt like my world was falling apart.  

THIS is why I trained to become a mindfulness meditation teacher and why I started The Mindfulness Journey so that I could help YOU to learn how to finally heal your anxiety so that you could get out of your head and into your life.

And when I first started my business I tried to keep up with "the Joneses" and all I had to show for it was a hard drive full of content and a burnt out nervous system. 

It's was then that I knew that in addition to teaching mindfulness strategies, I needed to use them to run my business. To listen to my body and to prioritize rest so that I could continue to show up in my business and in my life. 

This isn't about doing more with less. It's about doing less, on purpose, so your body, business, and brain can finally exhale. 

  

This is possible for you too!

How this workshop helps you get where you want to go:

1. It teaches you how to work with your energy, not against it

so you can finally stop pushing through and start honouring what your body truly needs to thrive

You'll learn practical, calming strategies to reset your nervous system

helping you build focus, reduce overwhelm, and move through your day with more steadiness

3. It shifts your inner narrative around rest and productivity

so you can build a business (and life) that supports your well-being without burning out.

On the fence?

Here's how to know if you're ready for the Rest-First Workshop:

This is for you if...

You're done pushing through flare-ups, burnout or brain fog just to "stay consistent"

You need a practical backup plan for low-energy days

You've tried all the productivity hacks and none of them feel human

You want to work with a coach who gets what it's like to run a business while chronically ill

This isn't for you if...

You're still deeply committed to hustle culture and not quite ready to question the belief that rest must be earned

You don't resonate with the idea of energy limits or chronic fatigue - you're able to push through most days without impact

You're looking for a quick-fix strategy, not a gentle, sustainable shift in how you move through your day

Slowing down feels more stressful than helpful right now, and rest feels unfamiliar or even unsafe

You're not quite ready to explore what's underneath your burnout - things like grief, frustration, or unmet needs

You don't see rest as a powerful part of your business or healing strategy - and that's okay. 

  

  

  

You don't need more willpower. 

You need a new plan. 


Let's make rest your strategy - not your reward.
