Episode 2 | Why Creating Daily Rituals Can Help You Through Life’s Shit Shows

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 the perfect environments. 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

－Breath, movement, and presence as grounding tools

－Letting go of perfection

－Creating rituals that become the constant thing you always turn to.

Key takeaway:

You don’t need to fix anything, you need to feel life to move through it.

You just need something steady to come back to, again and again and again.
