About the Host
Hi, I’m Charla Goodnight, host of Collective Guidance.
I’m a soul having a human experience, just like you. My journey has been shaped by two passions I discovered at 13: wellness and spirituality. I wasn’t the athletic type, but I loved how movement made me feel alive. My heroes weren’t star athletes. They were people like Richard Simmons, who radiated joy, inclusivity, and optimism. Around the same time, I also began seeking Spirit. Without a religious upbringing, I trusted my inner compass — making my first vision board at 16, long before I even knew what manifestation was. And to my amazement, everything on it came true.
That blend of fitness, faith, and curiosity has guided my life ever since.
I studied business, worked in finance, and built a “successful” life — until 9/11 shifted my perspective. I realized I wasn’t living my passion. So I became a certified trainer, leaned into wellness, and followed my calling. Along the way, I built a family, experienced the challenges of divorce, and found healing through co-parenting, community, and trust in the Universe.
In 2014, I opened the first indoor cycling studio in Naples, Florida — a place where sweat met soul. What I cherish most from that time wasn’t just the workouts, but the collective energy of people healing and growing together. That sense of connection planted a seed that would later grow into Collective Guidance.
After Spirit nudged me to close the studio in 2020, I spent time in what I call the “waiting place.” I deepened my studies with becoming certified as a Life Coach, Nutrition Coach, Astrologer, and Tarot Reader, while also exploring sound healing and quantum hypnosis. I trusted that the next chapter would reveal itself.
In meditation one day, the words came clearly: Collective Guidance. I didn’t know how, but I knew it mattered.
In February 2025, sitting at a Dr. Joe Dispenza retreat, Spirit whispered again: It’s time. And so, here we are.
Why I Created This Podcast
Collective Guidance exists to remind us that we’re not alone. Each of us is navigating life’s highs and lows, and often we wonder if anyone else feels what we’re feeling. This podcast is a space to explore stories, tools, and spiritual experiences that bring light into everyday life so we can move through the human experience with more ease, together.
I’m honored you’re here. Let’s walk this path side by side.
— Charla ✨
