Why Creating Daily Rituals Can Help You Through Life’s Shit Shows

Life doesn’t pause when things fall apart.

And it doesn’t wait until you feel ready.

In this episode of Phoenix Rising, Charlie explores why daily rituals can become an anchor during life’s hardest seasons, when your nervous system is overloaded, your mind won’t switch off, and everything feels uncertain.

This isn’t about rigid routines or perfectly curated mornings. It’s about simple, embodied practices that help you feel safe, grounded, and connected when life feels messy. Charlie shares reflections from her own lived experience and why returning to small, consistent rituals has been essential in navigating grief, stress, and overwhelm, especially when there’s no clear roadmap ahead.

In this episode, we explore:

Why life’s hardest moments are when rituals matter most

How rituals support nervous system regulation

Why small, daily practices are more powerful than big transformations

Breath, movement, and presence as grounding tools

Letting go of perfection and doing what’s sustainable

Creating rituals that meet you where you are

Key takeaway:

Life doesn’t pause when things fall apart. And it doesn’t wait until you feel ready.
