About LifeUnwound

I'm Charlie Weeks — writer, coach, retreat host and the person behind LifeUnwound. I left a 25-year corporate career in December 2025 because I wanted to change how I live.

I split my time between Tuscany, Belgium, and the UK. In Tuscany, at La Villa nell'Isola Verde - a 12-person villa with a yoga studio, swimming pool, and 250 olive trees - I run wellness and yoga retreats.

I write about the messy, honest process of changing your life. I coach and support people going through professional and personal transitions. I'm also available for freelance writing commissions in wellness, personal growth and lifestyle.

I am a defender of male vulnerability, the right to authentically express myself, and the right to literary expression using my website and company name to convey two meanings: to unwind and unwound life and move forward. 😄

My father is from the UK and my mother is from Malawi. I grew up in Zambia, moved to London at eleven, and have lived and worked in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. I speak English, French, and Italian (B1-B2 level). That background gives me a broad international and cultural perspective - and a deep belief that our lives don't fit neatly into one box.
