Self Mastery Method
I’m Charlotte Elizabeth — a former professional dancer whose entire life was built on discipline, performance, and impossible standards. When injury forced everything to collapse, I had to rebuild not just my career… but the belief that I was worthy of success at all.
That chapter led me to develop The Self Mastery Method — a framework that transforms self-doubt into self-trust, ambition into aligned, authentic action, and adversity into fuel.
Now, I’m here to create space for vulnerability in the world of high achievers and big dreamers so that others know you can cohesively build a successful life whilst navigating internal struggles.
On this podcast, I sit down with high achievers, entrepreneurs, athletes, and creators to explore the inner work that powerhouses don’t always talk about:
vulnerability, identity, resilience, and the mindset shifts that unlock your full potential.
Each episode offers grounded tools, raw conversations, and the reminder that you are not alone in the pursuit of big dreams.

Self Mastery Method
From Constant Motion to Conscious Movement with Elise Coates, Arcteryx Track and Trail Runner
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I sit down with runner, climber, and Arc’teryx athlete Elise Coates for a deeply honest conversation about movement, identity, and learning when to pause.
Elise shares the story behind “the hummingbird” — a metaphor for a life spent in constant motion — and unpacks how her love for running began, what relentless forward momentum once gave her, and what it ultimately took away. We explore the emotional and physical toll of repeated injuries, the complicated relationship athletes often have with pain, and the moment she chose to step away from varsity racing in her fourth year to reclaim her breath.
From living out of her car in Joshua Tree to discovering climbing as a teacher of patience, Elise reflects on solitude, stillness, and the quiet rebuilding of purpose. She opens up about redefining discipline, learning when to go easy, and how running transformed from performance-driven to something rooted in presence, nature, and self-respect.
This episode is for anyone who has ever:
- Tied their worth to achievement
- Felt afraid to slow down
- Needed permission to redefine success
- Or longed to return to movement for the love of it
A conversation about resilience that doesn’t rush, self-mastery that listens, and the power of asking better questions.
