If someone were to ask you who you really were, how would you answer? Would you say marketing executive, teacher, mother, daughter? What if someone asked you to dig deeper, to the core of you?
Anita Charlot, metaphysical and transformational life coach, has been helping people answer those questions since 2000 through her company, Purrfect Harmony Unlimited, a business that empowers, entertains and informs through activities like workshops, retreats, mentoring and more.
The idea for Purrfect Harmony Unlimited was realized when Charlot was seeking a therapist during a difficult life change-she had gone from dating men to seeing women. But when she tried to discuss her intimacy and trust issues, many therapists didn’t understand her struggle.
She also recognized that other women probably shared the same feelings and could probably benefit from having someone really understand what they were going through.
‘Why don’t I become that person for people like myself?’ Charlot asked herself. PHU was created with the motto, harmonizing your life, one area at a time.
“Through years of experience, I have come to realize that there are a very limited number of materials, products and services that attempt to speak directly to the lesbian and bisexual mothers’ experience,” Charlot says.
PHU aspires to bring self-awareness and healing to both the gay and straight community. This is done by openly discussing life experiences and sharing very intimate details that will give information concerning the struggles and triumphs we all encounter daily.
The company has since evolved, and now serves men, business clients and organizations.
“It is the vision of the company not to be exclusive to the lesbian and bisexual mother but to speak out on behalf of the empowerment of all women, no matter what that entails,” Charlot says.
She believes life and the journey to self-awareness are based on the destination, and they both are learning experiences.
“I know that it’s a destination, but on the way to the destination, there are so many different things you can learn about yourself and your teammates- if it’s a business area or relationship,” she says. “Really understanding who you are and exactly what you want and being okay with that will always lead to a more connected relationship, whether it’s a friendship, dating situation, marriage or family situation.”
And knowing who you are helps you in every aspect of your life, including dating and business relationships, says Charlot.
“When it comes to dating, when you know who you are, you’ve identified what’s important to you in terms of the type of person (you want), that way you don’t waste time on unnecessary dating situations,” she says.
“(In business relationships), it helps you determine whether or not you can take a certain job, or if it feeds your spirit.”
Self-awareness is the company’s main focus, according to Charlot, and she assists people in doing so with her “tell-it-like-it-is” approach.
“At times, the whole truth is what a person needs to hear to break through the persona that they have created,” she says. “My ability to cut through the layers of a person’s personality and reach their spirit is a direct result of years of being kept silent, struggling with who I was inside for the benefit of my family as well as society.”
“Since I’ve lived most of my years as a mere shadow of myself, it is very easy for me to detect others who are doing the same thing.”
PHU offers several topics to awaken your inner spirit. Her program teaches you how to identify:
- Hidden parts of yourself that have staggered your growth,
- How you continuously give your energy and your personal power to those that don’t deserve it,
- What your life’s passion is and the steps to take in order to turn your life’s passion into your life’s work,
Charlot is also available for individual coaching, organizational and corporate keynote presentations and workshops ranging from one hour to multi-day programs. The presentations can be customized for your group. Topics for these are:
- Discovering Your Purrfectly Authentic TM Self
- Purrfectly Authentic ™ Communication
- The 5 Phases of Dating ™ and
- The 7 Principles of Living Your Life Purrfectly Authentic ™.
She also does public speaking, individuals and couples coaching and Purrfectly Authentic Communication, a 10-session communication program that helps couples to identify where there is a breakdown in communication and how to rebuild it.
“My passion is to show each and every person that I come in contact with that their Purrfectly Authentic voice is the only voice in which they should use,” Charlot says. “We are born with this ability which is evident in how children often say exactly what’s on their mind prior to being conditioned as to what to say and what not to say for various reasons.”
“It is only when we are guided back to our ‘child-like’ nature and are born again into our true selves, do we learn to speak from our truth. We have played the game for so long…that somewhere inside, we got lost. It is my passion and purpose to help you find that again.”
