My Bio
Charis Santillie is the founder of Charis Your Life®, Fearless Transitions Coach, speaker, and podcast host. She is a multi-faceted professional with over three decades of entrepreneurial experience and is also a Certified Fearless Living® Coach and Certified Fearless Trainer.
When Charis was nineteen, a hot air balloon accident left her Dad paralyzed with a broken neck and her Mom struggling with alcoholism. Charis managed her internal crisis by becoming a hyper-achiever, giving her the illusion of safety and control. This accident became the catalyst that led her to a journey of dramatic healing and her calling to become a coach. (Watch the powerful 5-minute video of Charis telling her story here.)
Charis specializes in guiding successful entrepreneurs to become the Chief Emotional Officers™ of their lives as they face personal and professional transitions. She helps them live with passion, purpose, and peace of mind as they navigate life's seasons.
Fun Facts: Embodying her belief in resiliency, Charis sparked her fearless spirit by skydiving just one year after her family’s accident. Her furry assistant, a 5-lb Havapoo named Heidi, can be found napping on her desk during coaching calls.

"If you’re looking for a speaker who goes beyond the ordinary and delivers something truly memorable, Charis is it."
"Charis' presentation to our R360 chapters was one of the most creative and engaging talks we’ve hosted. She masterfully weaves together storytelling, symbolism, and hands-on experiences to create a truly immersive journey. Her use of custom materials, like hand-crafted wands and scrolls, isn’t just for show—it deepens the impact, making her message of transformation and fearless growth truly resonate.
Beyond her compelling content, Charis brings a level of thoughtfulness and personalization that resonates with high-achieving individuals seeking deeper fulfillment and clarity. Her ability to blend deep personal insight with an interactive experience is rare, and it left a lasting impression on our members. If you’re looking for a speaker who goes beyond the ordinary and delivers something truly memorable, Charis is it."

Behind the Scenes
That's our 5-lb Havapoo, Heidi, in the top photo. (But yes, a little Photoshop magic was applied...I pulled out my tools from the days when I was a graphic designer to create that fun image.)
Heidi reminds me every day to sniff around for joy and find ways to bring play into everything!
