I’m Charisse. The Catalyst Coach™ | Life Alchemist | Illuminator-Healer and Founder/CEO of this dream called Grace + Grit Unlimited®. This isn’t just another 'about' page. This is a map of becoming — a story of the fractures, the fire, and the fierce remembering that created everything you see here. I didn’t build Grace + Grit Unlimited because life was easy. I built it because I know what it feels like to be cracked open— to stand in the ashes of what once was and whisper, "There has to be more than this." And there was. There was a time when I carried the world on my back, surviving on strength alone.
When I mistook resilience for wholeness. It took a breaking— a deep, soul-shaking breaking— to realize that survival wasn’t the goal. Becoming was. When life brought me to my knees, something woke up inside me. Something sacred. Something unbreakable. I didn’t just survive the fire. I became the fire. Every scar became a map. Every heartbreak carved a doorway to my power. Every loss burned away what wasn’t truly mine — until only the real remained. And like a phoenix I rose from the ashes.
Grace + Grit Unlimited® was born from that realness.
From the knowing that power isn't given — it's claimed.
From the remembering that your softness is your strength, and your grit is your gateway to grace. This is more than a brand. It’s a movement. It’s a forge. It’s a revolution for the soul-led, heart-anchored, fire-forged leaders ready to claim every part of themselves. Throughout this journey, I’ve met countless people who, like I once did, were unaware of their incredible potential. That’s why I became a transformational and relationship coach and reclaimed my healing and illuminator gifts—to help others discover their greatness so they can step into their power. Today, I stand as a living testament to the power of resilience and the transformative impact of owning your unique gifts.
If your spirit feels like it’s outgrown the old stories...If your bones are aching for something real, raw, and sacred...If you’re ready to rise in a way you’ve never risen before —Welcome home. The pathways are open. The journey is yours to choose.
