  • Altruism is Trash

    Altruism is Trash
    Oct 3 2025
    Have you ever said “yes” when your whole soul was screaming “no”? In this episode of the Bold Becomers Podcast, Chara Jané gets real about the dark side of altruism. When “being the dependable one” costs your peace, your purpose, and your God-given shine, it’s no longer service — it’s self-betrayal. You’ll hear: ✨ Why unhealthy altruism masquerades as goodness but leaves you drained and resentful ✨ How background behavior keeps you silent, small, and spent ✨ The SHINE Method connection (Honor Your Story + Navigate Your Growth) ✨ Four practical strategies to stop betraying yourself and start serving from overflow ✨ A Challenge of the Week that helps you practice aligned boundaries God did not create you to live depleted and hidden. You were made to shine, and that means learning how to say sacred no’s and purposeful yeses. Scriptures Mentioned: •John 10:10 – Life more abundantly •Proverbs 3:6 – Let God direct your paths Challenge of the Week: Identify one area where you’ve been saying yes out of guilt instead of alignment. Write it down. Replace it with a healthy no or boundary, and notice how much lighter you feel. Next Step: Ready to stop betraying yourself and step boldly into alignment with God’s call for your life? Apply for Path to Shine, my coaching program where we walk through the SHINE Method together.

  • Invitations We Ignore

    Invitations We Ignore
    Sep 19 2025
    Have you ever looked back and realized the very thing you prayed away was actually the thing that shaped you the most? What if the frustration, conflict, or restlessness you’re feeling right now isn’t just random, but an invitation from God? In this episode of the Bold Becomers Podcast, we’re talking about the invitations we ignore: those subtle nudges, closed doors, or uncomfortable shifts that God uses to call us higher. Too often, we silence ourselves or change our external actions hoping for peace, when really, God is asking us to look inward and upward. We’ll uncover how to recognize God’s hand in your experiences, how to discern the difference between false peace and real obedience, and how to respond with courage instead of avoidance. What you’ll learn in this episode: •Common ways God sends invitations into your life (restlessness, repeated opportunities, closed doors). •Why silencing your voice doesn’t bring peace and what God is really asking of you instead. •How to practice surrender by saying yes to small nudges. •The power of honoring your story and recognizing God’s fingerprints in your journey. Challenge of the Week: Ask yourself, “What invitation have I been ignoring?” Then take one small step to say yes. Bold Declaration: “God, I trust that nothing in my life is wasted. The moments I once called painful, frustrating, or inconvenient are actually invitations from You, drawing me into deeper purpose. Thank You for opening my eyes to see beyond the surface, to recognize Your hand in every experience, and to embrace the lessons that shape me. Today I boldly declare: I will no longer resist the invitation. I accept it, and I will walk in it with faith and courage.” Scripture encouragement: Revelation 3:20 Ready for your next step?
