Lift and Shine
Welcome to The Lift & Shine Podcast. The podcast for women who are tired of starting over, tired of feeling stuck in their bodies, and ready to become the woman they know they're meant to be.
I'm your host, Coach C (Charlotte Mazur).
But before I was a coach helping women around the world lose weight and reclaim their confidence, I was a woman fighting battles nobody saw.
I struggled with alcohol addiction, an eating disorder, depression, and moments where I questioned whether life was worth living. I know what it's like to hate the woman staring back at you in the mirror. I know what it's like to numb your pain, abandon yourself, and wonder if you'll ever feel truly happy.
When I was in my twenties, my father died by suicide. His loss forced me to confront my own pain, my patterns, and the story I had been telling myself for years...that I wasn't enough.
But healing changed everything.
I left behind the life that no longer aligned with me, walked away from my career as a teacher, moved to Mexico, and rebuilt myself from the inside out.
Today, I help women around the world lose 15, 30, even 100 pounds—not just physically, but emotionally.
Because true transformation isn't about shrinking yourself.
It's about healing your relationship with food.
Releasing self-doubt.
Regulating your nervous system.
Building confidence.
And finally becoming the woman you've always been underneath the pain.
Through honest conversations about health, fitness, mindset, healing, relationships, and life's hardest moments, I'll share the lessons I've learned and the tools that can help you stop surviving and start shining.
If you've ever felt or currently feel broken, lost, unworthy, or like you've spent your whole life taking care of everyone else...
This podcast is for you.
It's time to stop abandoning yourself.
It's time to Shine.

Are you waiting until January 1 to start your weight loss, mindset, or life transformation? In this episode, I break down why most people fail when they wait for New Year’s resolutions and what happens when you choose to start TODAY instead.
Most people think January 1 will give them motivation, discipline, or a clean slate… but the truth is, if you can’t start on a random day in November, you won’t magically transform on January 1.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
✔ Why the “January 1 mindset” keeps you stuck
✔ How waiting gives you a false sense of progress
✔ Why starting now builds real momentum
✔ How your body, mindset, confidence, and happiness will change in 44 days
✔ What happens physically (weight loss), mentally, and emotionally when you stop postponing your goals
✔ Simple steps you can take TODAY to feel better before the New Year
If you want to lose weight, feel happier, get energized, and rebuild your confidence, starting now is the most powerful decision you can make.
January 1 shouldn’t be Day 1 — it should be Day 44.
