This Is Not a Performance

This Is Not a Performance

Author: Charlotte Ashley-Roberts June 10, 2025 Duration: 9:08

So much of the world asks us to perform.
This space doesn’t.
In this episode, I strip back the performance and return to the truth: who I am, how I work, and what I believe leadership really means.
If you’re craving honesty, presence, and unapologetic power — this one is for you.
The ground is here. Step into it.


Feeling stuck in your professional life is a common experience, but it doesn't have to be permanent. Your Time To Grow speaks directly to women navigating that exact tension between ambition and the realities of a busy life. Hosted by Charlotte Ashley-Roberts, who goes by Charlie, this podcast draws from her dual role as a careers coach and a mother of three. She brings a deeply relatable perspective, unpacking her personal journey to build a fulfilling career that also worked for her family. Each episode feels like a conversation with a knowledgeable friend, blending Charlie's own stories with insights from guests and real-world case studies. The focus is consistently on actionable steps-you'll find practical strategies for building momentum, clarifying your potential, and moving toward work that feels authentic. It’s more than just inspiration; it’s a toolkit for anyone ready to move from feeling lost to designing a career path they genuinely love. Tune in for honest discussions about balance, growth, and the practical shifts that make professional change possible, even when time feels scarce. This is a space for support and tangible advice, crafted for those who are ready to invest in their next chapter.
