Charlie McClain

Welcome. I’m Charlie McClain. I am the author of Ditch the Worthiness Hustle and Brave Greatness, a writer, coach, and guide for anyone standing at the edge of another beginning.For years I specialized in helping high-achieving leaders, especially women caught in the grind of Driven Woman Syndrome, release perfectionism and step into visionary leadership. That work shaped me. My calling has now widened. I walk with people of all genders who are ready to start again. To lay down old stories, recover their voice, and choose authenticity over expectation.I have lived many restarts myself: leaving abusive marriages, navigating single motherhood, rebuilding from nothing, and creating a new life at almost-sixty. My writing and coaching grow out of those embers of loss and resilience.What I offer is not a formula. It is a gathering place, a circle of honesty and courage where we remind each other that it is never too late to begin again.
