This week on ChatterBeans, we meet Charlie - coach, performer, future husband, and walking ball of chaotic joy. From the front row of a musical to the front of a gym class, Charlie shares how fitness transformed his life and why coaching feels a lot like group therapy.

We talk about:

• Leaving the stage for the studio
• ADHD, social anxiety & mental health in fitness
• Planning a winter wedding with intention (and humour)
• Creating safer, more inclusive spaces in a testosterone-heavy world
• Why matcha beats coffee, and what it means to stop saying yes to everything

This is one of those raw, honest, laugh-out-loud episodes that reminds us joy is resistance - and showing up as you are is enough.
