What happens when you stop performing for everyone else—and start living life on your own terms?
In this deeply personal solo episode of the TURTZED Podcast, Charles Turtz shares the journey of how he reclaimed his voice, navigated childhood trauma, embraced therapy, and made the life-changing decision to legally change his name. From the pressure of perfectionism to the wounds of parental expectation, Charles takes you behind the curtain of his personal evolution—exposing the pivotal moments that shaped his identity and led to the creation of TURTZED.
If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, family dynamics, or feeling like “the other one,” this episode invites you to let go of the roles you’ve outgrown and embrace the process of showing up fully, flaws and all.
