133 - Waking Up to Purpose: How Charmin Anderson Turned Her Trauma Into Triumph

Surviving, Thriving & Inspiring: Charmin Anderson’s Journey from Coma to Confidence
On this episode of The Confidence Restored Podcast, host Tomeria Jordan sits down with Charmin Anderson—an award-winning inspirational speaker, certified coach, entrepreneur, and Amazon bestselling author—to discuss her unbelievable journey of survival and transformation.
Charmin has overcome domestic violence, cancer, a stroke, and a coma, emerging stronger and more determined than ever to help others find their inner strength. After a two-hour surgery led to a two-week coma, she had to relearn everything—from memories to motor skills. But instead of asking, Why me?, she embraced her faith, calling herself God’s warrior and turning her pain into purpose.
Now, Charmin is the founder of Fighting 4 Me Essentials, where she creates non-toxic, eco-friendly candles and soaps—not just as a business, but as therapy and a testament to resilience. From Miami Beach-inspired drink candles to realistic food candles, her creativity flourished in ways she never imagined.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking motivation, faith, and a reminder that they, too, are a VIP—valuable, important, and powerful.

129 - Be Quiet, Be Still: Speaking to Life's Storms

With so much going on, what if the words you thought were meant for you… were actually meant for the storm?
 
August 6, 1993 I survived a devastating F4 tornado. In the midst of the storm my late grandmother urged me, my 3-year old cousin, and great-aunt to be "quiet, be still." Fast forward to today and I was up in the middle of the night watching Fox 35 Orlando’s meteorologist, Brooks Garner, confirm a tornado live on air while urging his team to take shelter and notifying the National Weather Service. In that moment, the flood of memories came rushing back as I was reminded of the power of maintaining faith in chaos, peace in persecution, and hope in helplessness.
 
In this episode, our host will explore what it truly means to find refuge in life’s storms, to stand firm in faith, and to embrace the stillness that restores confidence—even when everything around you is being torn apart.
