In this deeply honest episode of Beauty Talk Confessions, Kati sits down with Charlie Carter, owner of Aura Spa and creator of The CEO Goddess Code, for a powerful conversation about success, burnout, alignment, and rebuilding your identity as a business owner.
Charlie’s journey is raw, spiritual, and deeply relatable. Before Aura Spa existed, she ran a metaphysical wellness center, hosted tarot classes, built a yoga studio during COVID, managed multiple businesses at once, burned out, walked away from nursing, sold everything, and rebuilt her life and business from the ground up.
Together, Kati and Charlie explore the emotional and energetic weight of entrepreneurship, especially for women who achieve outward success while feeling disconnected inside. This episode dives into success trauma, impostor syndrome, hiring challenges, leadership fatigue, and the pressure to constantly expand or chase trends in the med spa industry.
They also discuss intuitive decision making, energetic alignment, and what it looks like to build a business rooted in self trust, safety, and sustainability rather than hustle or external validation.
If you have ever questioned your path, felt overwhelmed by success, or wondered whether alignment matters more than growth, this conversation offers clarity, permission, and reassurance that you are not alone.
