☕️ Coffee With Charlotte: Keeping It Real — Episode 10 ☕️
Coming up later this morning!

Someone reached out and asked me to talk about friendships—specifically, what happens when a friend disrespects you. And y’all, I don’t want to just jump on here and start flapping my gums. 😂 This is important.

Friends matter more than we sometimes realize. The people we allow close to us can encourage us, strengthen us, make us laugh until we cry…and sometimes they can hurt us, too.

I want to give this topic the thought it deserves and have a genuine, humble conversation about friendship, respect, boundaries, forgiveness, and knowing when something needs to be addressed.

I certainly don’t have all the answers. Lord knows I’m still learning right along with everybody else. 😂 But that’s kind of the whole point of Keeping It Real, isn’t it?
Life gets messy. Friendships can get messy. WE get messy. And sometimes the best thing we can do is pull up a chair, pour some coffee, and talk about it. ❤️☕️

And one thing I would LOVE to eventually do with Coffee With Charlotte is figure out a format where y’all can actually call in and share your stories, experiences, questions, and opinions with me! Can you imagine where those conversations might go?! 😂☕️

Because Keeping It Real shouldn’t just be about me talking—it should be about all of us talking.

So I’m doing a little homework first. 🤓
Episode 10 will be up before noon today. Pull up a chair and have coffee with me. I have a feeling this is going to be a GOOD conversation. ❤️

And if you’ve ever dealt with feeling disrespected by a friend…you’re definitely going to want to join this one.

☕️💗 Coffee With Charlotte: Keeping It Real — Episode 9! 💗☕️

Happy Monday, y’all!! 😂

Today we covered a little bit of fashion, faith, motivation, human combustion, lost phones, and learning to say… “THAT’S OKAY!” 🤣

🔥 First of all… WHY ARE BOUTIQUES SELLING SWEATERS RIGHT NOW?! Y’all, I’m about to BUST INTO FLAMES just walking from the house to the car. 😂🔥 I know fall is coming. I know we’re supposed to be thinking ahead. But right now, I need clothes that say “Please keep me from spontaneously combusting.” 🤣

❤️ Then we got a little more serious and talked about MOTIVATION.

Motivation is so important because it’s the reason behind why we do what we do. What gets you up? What keeps you going when you're tired, frustrated, discouraged, or things just aren't going according to plan?

For me, my motivation is Jesus Christ. 🙏❤️ He is the reason behind everything I do, and the One I want at the center of it all.

And speaking of things NOT going according to plan… I LOST MY PHONE THIS MORNING. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 So naturally, Coffee With Charlotte got started late.

But instead of letting it ruin my morning, my attitude was simply:

“That’s okay.” ❤️

Things are going to happen. Plans are going to change. Phones are apparently going to disappear. 😂 We can either let it wreck our whole day—or say “That’s okay” and keep on going.

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who keeps pulling up a chair and having coffee with me! ☕️❤️ I truly appreciate every one of you who watches, comments, shares, and joins in on these crazy little morning conversations.

👉 Now I need YOUR help! What do you want me to talk about in the upcoming episodes of Coffee With Charlotte: Keeping It Real? Nothing is off limits! 😂 Drop your ideas in the comments!

And TAG & SHARE this with a friend who needs to pull up a chair and join us for coffee! ☕️💗

Because perfect is boring… and apparently I can't even keep up with my phone. 🤣🤣🤣

☕️💗 Coffee With Charlotte: Keeping It Real — Episode 8 💗☕️

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! 🎉☀️

We ALL have frustrating things happen every single day.
We get frustrated. Our kids get frustrated. Our grandkids get frustrated. Heck, even my 2-year-old granddaughter gets frustrated... and trust me, she can make sure everybody knows it! 😂

But here's what I've been thinking about...
In the grand scheme of life, setbacks, delays, disappointments and frustrations ARE going to happen. We can't stop them. We can't schedule around all of them. And we certainly can't control everything.

But we can change the way we react to them. ❤️

I have gotten in the habit of meeting those frustrating moments head-on and simply saying:
"But that's OK."

Something didn't go as planned? That's OK.
Someone is running late? That's OK.
The package didn't show up? 😳😂 That's OK.
The whole day went sideways before lunch? THAT'S OK! 🤣

Because when you really stop and think about it, a plain old, average, boring day is a BLESSING. 🙏❤️

Nobody died. Nobody lost a limb. Nobody was seriously injured. The world didn't end.
It was just... life being life.
Messy stuff happens. Plans change. Things break. People get on our nerves. 😂 But maybe if we expect life to be a little messy, we won't react quite so wildly when it happens.

So today, COUNT EVERY STINKIN' BLESSING!!! 🙌❤️
Even the ordinary ones. Especially the ordinary ones and thank God for all of them.

🎶 NOW... ON TO SOMETHING FUN — MUSIC!!! 🎤🎸💃

Y'all, get OUT this weekend and support our amazing local live music in Shreveport & Bossier! Support these musicians, bands and venues that give us somewhere to go, dance, laugh and enjoy ourselves.

And for goodness' sake... GO HAVE SOME FUN! 😂

Some of y'all need to laugh, smile, listen to some good music and GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO! 🤣💃🕺🎶

Life is too short to spend the whole week without live music 🎶🎸🥁🎤

❤️ Share this and tag somebody who needs to pull up a chair and have coffee with us!
And BTW... before anybody asks...

YES, I actually DID have my coffee sitting right next to me this time! ☕️🤣🤣🤣

Have a RIDICULOUSLY GREAT FRIDAY and an absolutely wonderful weekend! 💗☀️🎉

Because Perfect Is Boring.

☕ Coffee With Charlotte: Keeping It Real — Episode 7

Good morning, everyone! ❤️

First things first—TODAY kicks off our HUGE Summer Sale! 🔥 Up to 80% OFF, and y’all, a BIG part of the store is marked down!
Even our large selection of cropped jeans is on sale—and my teacher friends, you already know how much you LOVE these! 👖🙌

Okay... now let’s talk about my visit with Dr. Ifeanyi.
I told y’all I would come back and share what we found out, and I want to keep that promise because this whole series is about keeping it real—even when “real” isn't exactly what you were hoping to hear.

Before seeing Dr. Ifeanyi, I had a hearing test with the audiologist. The results showed significant hearing loss in my right ear, including loss of high-frequency sounds.
And here's the crazy part...
I had NO idea I had a hearing problem. 😂

Although my husband has apparently diagnosed me with selective hearing for years, so I'm sure he's feeling pretty validated right about now. 🤣

Because the hearing loss is on one side, they're doing more testing to make sure there isn't something causing it that can be treated. So the next step is an MRI, including ruling out the possibility of something like a tumor affecting the inner-ear/hearing nerve area.

Now, I'm not assuming that's what it is. We're just ruling things out, one step at a time.

So I called to schedule the MRI, and the sweet lady says:
"You'll need to meet your deductible, so you'll need to bring $675 with you."
😳
Oh. Okay.
LET ME JUST GET MY CHECKBOOK. LAWD!!! 😂😂😂

Nothing like a little
medical deductible to make you forget what you were worried about in the first place!

And between THAT and having to color my hair last night to cover my gray hair coming in, and finding out I need cataract surgery soon, I'm starting to feel like...
HOLD ON. I AM NOT THIS OLD!!! 🤣😂

I mean, hearing tests, MRIs, deductibles, and covering these roots... what is happening over here?! 😂

I'm feeling a little off balance this morning, but I'm hoping I just haven't had enough water yet. So today we're hydrating, having some coffee, having a little faith, and carrying on. ❤️☕️

I'll keep sharing this journey as I go—not because I have all the answers, because I absolutely don't—but because so many of you have reached out and told me that you have tinnitus too.

If sharing what I learn helps even one of you ask a question, make an appointment, or feel a little less alone in what you're experiencing, then sharing it is worth it.

And through all of this, let's trust God for all of our healing and all of our problems. ❤️🙏
He is able to heal us, and He is able to see us through every difficult season we face.

If He heals me, I will praise Him. And if He doesn't, I will STILL praise Him.
Because my faith isn't based on getting the answer I want. My faith is in Him.
So... Episode 7. Here we go.

Keeping it real, taking it one test at a time, laughing when I can...
and apparently bringing my lcheckbook. 🤣☕️❤️

Sincerely hoping every single one of you has a great day. Love y'all! ❤️

❤️ Coffee With Charlotte: Keeping It Real — Tomorrow, We’re Going to Get a Little More Real

On Tuesday, I went to see Dr. Ifeanyi about the Tinnitus and issues in my inner ear that I’ve been dealing with.

I’ll share more tomorrow morning about what they found out. For now, I’ll just say it was definitely not the outcome I was hoping for. There are still more tests that need to be done to rule out anything that might be “fixable,” so I’m trying not to get too far ahead of myself just yet.

I didn’t even post a video today. I just needed a day to process everything, gather my thoughts, and honestly… just sit with what I was feeling.

But tomorrow, I want to talk about it.

One of the reasons I started Coffee With Charlotte: Keeping It Real was because I wanted this to be REAL. Not just the funny days, the boutique chaos, fashion, coffee, and whatever random thing pops into my head 😂 — but the harder days too.

The ONLY reason I am sharing all of this is because so many of you have reached out and told me that you also struggle with tinnitus or hearing loss. That is one of the biggest reasons I want to openly share this journey with you. If something I learn along the way helps even ONE person know what questions to ask, what symptoms not to ignore, or simply makes somebody feel less alone in what they’re going through, then sharing it is worth it. ❤️

So pull up a chair tomorrow. ☕️ We’re going to talk about what happened at the doctor, what comes next, and probably a few other things because y’all know my brain never stays on just ONE subject. 😂

And we might finally solve the other great medical mystery of the week…

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS MY FEDEX PACKAGE?! 🤦‍♀️😂

Remember Tuesday when I was sitting at the doctor’s office hoping I wasn’t going to miss that desperately needed merchandise delivery?

Well… GOOD GRIEF, I still don’t have it! 😂

Tune in tomorrow for Coffee With Charlotte: Keeping It Real. ☕️❤️

And as always, let me know if there’s something you want us to talk about.

I hope everyone has had a good evening and gets a peaceful and sweet sleep tonight. Jesus take the wheel.

Oh and my big sale starts tomorrow too. 😄😄😄.

08/11/2026

Umgee, we love you ❤️💙💚💜💛.

☕️ Coffee With Charlotte: Keeping It Real — Episode 6!

Well, today’s coffee time is coming to you from Dr. Ifeanyi’s office! 😂

I’m getting checked out for this crazy cricket chirping sounding tinnitus and hoping we can figure out what in the world is going on with all this noise! 👂🔔

BUT… because apparently a boutique owner’s brain never completely shuts off, I’m sitting here hoping my delivery guys don't show up early, and I'll miss the delivery of some MUCH-NEEDED MERCHANDISE while I’m gone! 🤣📦

Because perfect is boring… and apparently so is having only ONE thing to worry about at a time.

And BTW, I brought my coffee with me but still forgot to hold it while I was videoing 😂😂😂

☕️ Have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY, everybody!

And please TAG or SHARE this with a friend you think would love to pull up a chair, grab some coffee, and join us for Coffee With Charlotte: Keeping It Real! ❤️

See y’all for Episode 7! ☕️💕
