My real name is Charlene Delaluna and I’m not here to sell you a dream I’ve never lived. I’m here because I’ve walked through the fire myself.

I was raised in poverty in the ghetto of Eastside Long Beach, CA. Abandoned by both parents my father, a gangster who spent his youth in juvenile hall, and my mother, a teenage Filipina immigrant who left me to start another family I grew up with my grandparents, carrying wounds that shaped me before I even had words for them. We shared a tiny one-bedroom home. My bed was a coffee table, and I thought roaches were just normal.

At sixteen, I was taken advantage of by a man in his twenties. That’s when I conceived my daughter. He never gave a dime of support, and overnight I had to become a mother. I moved us far away of the people who could hurt us to Bend, Oregon with nothing but grit, building a life on scraps and sheer determination. When she became a teenager, everything came crashing down. I drowned myself in wine. I was lost, overworked, and exhausted. I wasn’t perfect, and I let her go when she no longer wanted to live with me.

And that wasn’t my only fall. There was a point I tried to end my life, even throwing myself from an SUV on the freeway after what was done to me by people I won’t name. But I survived. And that survival became one of many turning points. Because I have fallen back down more times than I can count and each time, I’ve fought my way back. I’ve battled trauma, chaos, and the kind of survival cycles that swallow whole generations.

Still, I clawed my way up the career ladder from cleaning toilets, to cashier, to receptionist, to C-level Executive Assistant, to Operations Manager. Eventually, I walked away from an $85,000 salary and toxic work environments to start over on my own terms. That leap into full-time entrepreneurship was one of the scariest and most liberating choices of my life.

Along the way, I fought my way back into education. I completed my high school diploma at Huntington High School District, earning my AA in Business at Long Beach City College, and I’m now on a solid trajectory to pursue my Bachelor’s in Business at San Diego State University online. Education didn’t come easy, I have ADHD but every milestone I reached reminded me I could rewrite the story I was born into.

I’ve been engaged twice but never married not because I don’t believe in love, but because I believe in alignment. I’ve outgrown, restarted, and rebuilt more times than I can count.

I am a Clarity Alchemist. I take the breakdowns, the losses, the loops, and I turn them into blueprints. I’ve been the anxious-attached girl. I’ve been gutted by the avoidant. I’ve carried roles that drained me until nothing was left. And I’ve learned how to rise again with systems, structure, and alignment.

This is why you feel a magnetic pull toward me. Because I don’t just talk about clarity I’ve earned it. Through survival, through study, through the work of rebuilding my life piece by piece. If you’re here, maybe you’ve felt drained, lost, or stuck in a cycle you didn’t choose. Maybe you’ve been waiting for someone who doesn’t just hand you theories, but someone who’s lived it and can walk beside you with honesty, strategy, and real tools.

That’s why you found me. And that’s why I’ve been waiting for you.
