| 3/18/26 |  Busy House, Happy Home S7:10| Homes with Heart: Interiors, Motherhood & Building a Business | In today’s episode of Busy House, Happy Home, I sit down with interior designer Pippa Lawler for a conversation that feels both grounding and quietly inspiring.Pippa shares her journey from the pace of London life to the slower rhythm of the Cornish coast, where she now lives with her young family, building both a business and a life that feels more aligned. We talk about that shift so many of us feel drawn to, the pull towards space, calm, and a home that supports us rather than overwhelms us.This episode gently explores what it really means to create a home that works. Not just something beautiful to look at, but something practical, functional, and lived in. We talk about the importance of listening - whether that’s as a designer understanding a client, or simply listening to what your own home and life need from you.There’s also a lovely thread running through this conversation about using what we already have. The value of antiques, of pre-loved pieces, of breathing life back into something rather than always starting again. It’s a reminder that our homes don’t need to be perfect - they need to feel like us.Alongside this, we touch on the realities of juggling motherhood and business, the quiet challenges of working for yourself, and the importance of community, something Pippa is nurturing through her work with women in business on the Roseland Peninsula.It’s a conversation about balance, creativity, and finding confidence in your own decisions, whether that’s in your home or your work.If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed by your home, your to-do list, or simply where to begin, I hope this episode is inspiring for you.Love,Charlie xThank you for listening to Busy House, Happy Home - a place for gentle conversations about everyday life at home.This podcast is shaped by the questions and conversations shared by its listeners, so please do get in touch if there’s something you’d like Charlie to talk about.

| 3/11/26 |  Busy House, Happy Home S7:09| Small Acts, Big difference: Why Community Matters | In today’s episode of Busy House Happy Home, I’m joined by the thoughtful and inspiring Camilla Poulton for a conversation about something that matters deeply to both of us: giving our time, using our skills, and stepping beyond the rhythm of our own daily lives to serve others.Camilla first reached out to me by email, and what struck me straight away was her belief that life is not simply about talking about change, but about quietly and bravely putting it into action. Together, we talk about volunteering, community, purpose, and how helping others can often bring us back to ourselves.We explore the many forms volunteering can take, from supporting schools and local community projects to listening to children read, helping in food banks, serving in the NHS in non-medical roles, and even working within the prison system. What I loved so much about this conversation is that it reminds us that volunteering does not have to look one particular way. It can begin with what you are naturally good at, what you care about, and where you feel quietly called to help.We also touch on early childhood, family life, social responsibility, and the way a happy home is often built not only through what happens inside it, but through how fulfilled we feel within ourselves. There is so much wisdom here about purpose, confidence, resilience, and the importance of using whatever gifts we have, however ordinary they may seem.If you are feeling a little stuck, a little flat, or as though life has become very small and inward-looking, I hope this episode feels like a gentle nudge towards something meaningful and life-giving.Love, Charlie xLess formal volunteering opportunitieshttps://volunteering.oxfam.org.uk/opportunities?cookieconsent=set#cookieconsent=set%3Fdisplay%3Dgrid&s=date_advertised&o=desc&limit=14&include=image&public_search=true&display=gridhttps://www.samaritans.org/support-us/volunteer/https://www.ageuk.org.uk/get-involved/volunteer/local-services-volunteer/https://www.trussell.org.uk/support-us/volunteerhttps://www.bookmarkreading.org/volunteer?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=googlead&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20270961095&gbraid=0AAAAACxctG3VT1xsasrdjMPMCroomJ8U5&gclid=CjwKCAiAqprNBhB6EiwAMe3yhp9be420vW3sn1sIqbeml_W-gPjEv9SJuhgEPrVX-IFUgPY8LDpoDRoCL00QAvD_BwEMore formal volunteering opportunitieshttps://governorsforschools.org.uk/become-a-school-governor/https://magistrates.judiciary.uk/https://imb.org.uk/prison-volunteer/prison-volunteer-uk/ Resources Mentioned• Duke of Edinburgh Award• School governor opportunities• Local food banks• Age UK• Samaritans• Community shops and cafés• NHS patient and public involvement opportunities• Hello email: hello@askcharlie.howThank you for listening to Busy House, Happy Home - a place for gentle conversations about everyday life at home.This podcast is shaped by the questions and conversations shared by its listeners, so please do get in touch if there’s something you’d like Charlie to talk about.

| 3/4/26 |  Busy House, Happy Home S7:08| On the Cusp of Spring: Homemaking, Renewal and Quiet Strength | Welcome to this week’s episode of Busy House Happy Home.It may be the first of March, but outside the wind is howling and the rain is lashing against the windows. Inside, the fire is lit, the dogs are settled, and there is that unmistakable sense that something is beginning to shift. In this gentle episode, I read the spring introduction and March chapter from my book, reflecting on fresh starts, seasonal living and the quiet promise that brighter days are on their way.We talk about spring cleaning, not simply as a chore, but as a hopeful act. Wiping down woodwork, washing dog beds, opening windows and letting in crisp air. Clearing cupboards, yes, but also clearing space in our minds.I share thoughts on eating seasonally and how nature so cleverly provides what our bodies need, from wild garlic to dandelion tea. There is wisdom in the hedgerows and in the rhythm of the months, if we pause long enough to notice.This month’s quote from Marcus Aurelius feels particularly timely: “You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” I reflect on growth, perspective and doing things that feel slightly daunting — and how often they shape us for the better.If you’re feeling weary of the long winter, I hope this feels like sitting beside a warm fire with a cup of tea, being gently reminded that spring will come.Love,Charlie xThrough the Seasons by Charlie Gray – https://www.askcharlie.how/shop/p/through-the-seasons-with-ask-charlie Contact: hello@askcharlie.howIf you enjoyed this episode, you can subscribe to Busy House Happy Home wherever you listen to podcasts.You can also watch the video version on YouTube at Ask Charlie.

| 2/25/26 |  Mindset Shifts That Make Everyday Life Easier | In today’s solo episode of Busy House Happy Home, I wanted to sit down with you for a quiet chat about mindset and the simple, everyday reframes that can change how life feels.We all have jobs we don’t necessarily want to do. The laundry that never ends, the bed that needs changing, the dusting you keep putting off. And yet, so often, it isn’t the task itself that drains us, it’s the story we tell ourselves while we’re doing it. I share how I try to approach the dull, repetitive bits with a gracious heart, and how a small shift from “I have to” to “I get to” can soften the whole day. Sometimes that looks like saving a treat for the jobs I don’t love, a favourite podcast, an audiobook, a good song turned up loud enough to dance around the kitchen.But we also go deeper than housework. I talk about identity, and how our sense of self can wobble through different seasons of life, especially as children grow and need us in new ways. I share parts of my own story: the confidence I didn’t have, the hard chapters, the long road of showing up, and the way purpose and determination can be built slowly, step by step.If you’re feeling stuck in a rut, a relationship, a job, or simply a low patch, I hope this episode reminds you that change is possible. Not always instantly, and not always easily, but gently, bravely, and one choice at a time.If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed or behind, I hope this feels like a steady hand on your shoulder - a reminder that you’re not alone, and you can start again today.Love, Charlie xMel Robbins 5 Second Rule / “5-4-3-2-1” — https://www.melrobbins.comAsk Charlie — https://www.askcharlie.howSubstack — https://substack.com/@askcharliehowContact: hello@askcharlie.howIf you’d like more gentle chats like this, alongside practical, real-life homemaking, you can follow Busy House Happy Home wherever you listen to podcasts, and subscribe on YouTube for the video episodes too.

| 2/18/26 |  Busy House, Happy Home S7:06 | A chatty one - about my business, organising pre spring cleaning & how food makes us feel! | In this episode of Busy House, Happy Home, it’s a solo episode with just me and a cup of tea. I wanted to sit down and have a chat and keep you company as you go about your day.I talk about the importance of quiet moments, and why I often have my best ideas when I’m driving, walking the dogs, or simply sitting with my own thoughts. I share how I capture those ideas, and why recording and transcribing my voice has been such a helpful way of writing, particularly as I’m dyslexic.I also share a behind-the-scenes look at Ask Charlie as the business continues to grow. Growth can feel exciting, but it can also feel daunting, and I talk honestly about change, taking advice, and working out the best next steps.I also wanted to address a comment I received about working with brands. I share how I approach partnerships, why I only recommend what I genuinely love and use, and why I recently turned down a paid collaboration because the quality was not right for me.From there, I move into spring preparation. We talk about decluttering, organising and getting your home ready before spring cleaning begins properly, along with a few practical tips that make it easier. I also share what has been helping me feel brighter at this time of year, from my SAD lamp to daily movement, and why nourishing food makes such a difference.It’s an honest, gentle chat about home, work, wellbeing, and the small changes that help life feel lighter as spring approaches.In This Episode, We Talk About:– Why quiet moments help us think clearly and come up with our best ideas– How I capture ideas, and why I record and transcribe voice notes– Writing as someone who is dyslexic, and how I work around it– Ask Charlie growing, and why change can feel exciting and scary– Working with brands, transparency, and turning down a paid partnership– The difference between free content and paid work behind the scenes– Getting ready for spring cleaning: decluttering, organising and packing away winter– Selling, donating and rehoming items rather than throwing them away– Why I’m not a minimalist, and having a home full of meaningful treasures– SAD lamps, winter mood, and what helps at this time of year– Exercise, energy, and feeling more grounded– Nourishing food, simple home cooking, and making healthier choices– Members Club recipes, cookery confidence, and why video tutorials helpLinks & Resources Mentioned:Ask Charlie websitehttps://www.askcharlie.howThrough the Seasonshttps://www.askcharlie.how/shop/p/through-the-seasons-with-ask-charlieAsk Charlie Loveshttps://www.askcharlie.how/ask-charlie-lovesSuri toothbrushes - https://stry.cl/ASKCHARLIE extra 10% off current sales with my code ASKCHARLIE (Ad)Bower Collective (discount code: CHARLIE)https://bowercollective.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorp8GZtLPq5ev1icLemzy0p1XgeAywYKtQ55o5JEqTjBB3Q_fsr (Ad)Get in Touch:I’d love to hear from you.If you have a question, a topic you’d like me to cover, or somebody you’d love me to speak to on the podcast, please do get in touch.Email: hello@askcharlie.howFollow & SubscribeIf you’re listening on a podcast app, please do follow Busy House, Happy Home and add it to your library.Thank you so much for being here, and for listening.Love, Charlie xThank you for listening to Busy House, Happy Home - a place for gentle conversations about everyday life at home.This podcast is shaped by the questions and conversations shared by its listeners, so please do get in touch if there’s something you’d like Charlie to talk about.

| 1/28/26 |  Busy House, Happy Home S7:03: Finding Your Confidence With Style And Identity | Welcome back to Busy House, Happy Home.Today I’m joined by Charlotte Clark, a personal stylist and coach, for a really enjoyable and honest conversation about style, confidence, and dressing for real life.Charlotte shares how her work combines personal styling and coaching, and why the two are so closely linked. We talk about how what we wear can influence how confident we feel, how we carry ourselves, and how we show up, whether that’s at work, at home, or simply going about our day.We discuss wardrobe edits and why they are not about throwing everything away and starting again, but about understanding what suits you, what you actually wear, and how to make the most of what you already have. Charlotte talks about buying once and buying well, avoiding overwhelm, and how accessories, colour and a few thoughtful pieces can completely change how an outfit feels.We also talk about dressing through different stages of life, including returning to work, menopause, changing bodies, and the reality of busy days where comfort and practicality matter just as much as style. Charlotte shares stories from her work that show how deeply personal clothing can be, and how confidence is often tied to life experiences, not trends.Charlotte also opens up about her own journey, including her experience with breast cancer at a young age, and how that shaped her outlook, her career path, and her desire to help others feel confident, supported and seen. We talk about vulnerability, empathy, and how helping people feel good in themselves often goes far beyond clothes alone.This episode is a gentle, thoughtful conversation about confidence, self-belief, and finding what works for you, now, not who you used to be or who you think you should be.What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeWhy Charlotte combines styling and coachingHow clothes affect confidence and presenceWhat wardrobe edits really involveBuying less and choosing betterAccessories, colour and simple outfit changesDressing through menopause and body changesReturning to work and rebuilding confidenceCharlotte’s personal journey and career shiftWhy empathy and vulnerability matterLinks & Resources Mentioned:Charlotte Clark Style and CoachingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlotteclarkstyle/ Website: https://www.charlotteclarkcoaching.com/Ask Charlie online courses: Available via my website in the Online Courses sectionhttps://www.askcharlie.how(Ad/Own Brand)Thank you for listening to Busy House, Happy Home - a place for gentle conversations about everyday life at home.This podcast is shaped by the questions and conversations shared by its listeners, so please do get in touch if there’s something you’d like Charlie to talk about.

| 1/21/26 |  Busy House, Happy Home S7:02: Men’s Mental Health, Safe Spaces & Connection | Welcome back to Busy House, Happy Home.I’m so pleased to be back, and I couldn’t think of a more fitting first guest for this season than Eddie - somebody I’ve wanted to sit down and speak to on this podcast for years.In this episode, Eddie and I talk openly about men’s mental health, vulnerability, and the importance of having safe spaces where men and boys can feel heard, supported, and understood. Eddie shares his journey from the wellness world into men’s work, how men’s circles can help, and why shared experience (rather than simply “talking more”) can be the key to authentic connection.We also discuss how Eddie works with boys in a way that feels natural and non-confrontational - using movement as a healthy distraction, and creating calm, safety and confidence through pattern-based practices. This is something I’ve seen first-hand with my own boys, and I’m so grateful for the impact he’s had.It’s a conversation about real life - the pressures men carry, why people can feel so alone, and how asking for support (and finding community) can make all the difference.If this episode helps even one person feel less alone, or encourages them to reach out and speak to someone, then it’s been worth having.What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeWhy I wanted Eddie as my first guest of the seasonWhat men’s circles are (and why safe spaces matter)Why “talking” isn’t always accessible - and what helps insteadHow Eddie supports boys using movement, confidence-building and calmThe power of authentic connection and shared experienceAdvice for anyone struggling and looking for supportEddie’s detailsI’ll leave Eddie’s links here so you can get in touch:https://www.instagram.com/alchemisewitheddie/How to Do EFT Tapping (Beginner's Guide) - Alchemise with Eddie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNBrky0Z0OsMy Online CoursesAvailable via my website in the Online Courses section:https://www.askcharlie.how (Ad/Own Brand)Get in TouchI’d love to hear from you.If you have a question, a topic you’d like me to cover, or somebody you’d love me to speak to on the podcast, please do get in touch.Email: hello@askcharlie.howFollow & SubscribeIf you’re listening on a podcast app, please do follow Busy House, Happy Home and add it to your library.And if you’re watching on YouTube, I’d love it if you’d subscribe there too.

| 1/14/26 |  Winter, Stillness & A Gentle January Reset | Welcome back to Busy House, Happy Home.It feels so lovely to be back with the podcast, and I couldn’t think of a nicer way to begin Season 7 than by sharing an extract from my book, Through the Seasons.In this episode, I read from the winter section of the book, followed by the January chapter, A Gentle Reset. Winter is a season I truly cherish - not in spite of its starkness, but because of it. It’s a time for stillness, warmth, reflection, and finding comfort in simple, timeless rituals at home.January, in particular, feels like a quiet pause after the bustle of December. A month for restoring order gently, nourishing ourselves well, and easing into a new rhythm - without pressure or lofty resolutions. Just small, grounding acts of care that help us feel calm and settled again.I also share a little about why the podcast has been on pause, why now feels like the right time to return, and how I see this season of the podcast unfolding - gently, intuitively, and in a way that feels right.This episode is perfect to listen to while you’re pottering at home, cooking, walking, or enjoying a quiet moment with a cup of tea.What You’ll Hear in This EpisodeA winter reading from Through the SeasonsJanuary reflections and a gentle reset for the new yearThoughts on slowing down, cosiness, and seasonal livingWhy the podcast is returning nowWhat to expect from Busy House, Happy Home going forwardLinks & Resources MentionedMy book: Through the Seasons - currently available for pre-order - https://www.askcharlie.how/shop/p/through-the-seasons-with-ask-charlie (Ad/Own Brand)Online courses: Available via my website in the Online Courses section (Cooking, batch cooking, Aga cooking, sewing, seasonal living and homemaking)You can find everything here:https://www.askcharlie.how (Ad/Own Brand)Get in TouchI’d love to hear from you.If you have a question, a topic you’d like me to cover, or if you’d like to be part of a future conversation on the podcast, please do get in touch.Email: hello@askcharlie.howYou can also leave a comment on YouTube or message me there.Listen & WatchThis episode is also available to watch in video form over on my YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@ask.charlie Follow & SubscribeIf you’re listening on a podcast app, please do follow Busy House, Happy Home and add it to your library.And if you’re watching on YouTube, I’d love it if you’d subscribe there too.It really does make such a difference and allows me to keep creating and sharing more content with you.Thank you so much for being here, and for listening.Love, Charlie xThank you for listening to Busy House, Happy Home - a place for gentle conversations about everyday life at home.This podcast is shaped by the questions and conversations shared by its listeners, so please do get in touch if there’s something you’d like Charlie to talk about.
