Lead and Lift

When tension rises at home or work, most of us either explode or shut down. In this episode, you’ll learn how to turn those hard moments into powerful opportunities for connection using a practical, grace-filled approach to conflict and emotion. In this episode, Chabidaye and Marielle Melling discuss: Pivotal parenting moment that reshaped conflict Self-compassion and “continuing education” in parenting Turning conflict into connection Partnering with emotions and processing anger The High Five framework for handling conflict   Key Takeaways: You don’t need to have it all figured out; treating parenting and relationships as “continuing education” creates space for growth instead of shame. Conflict can become a powerful opportunity for deeper bonding when you see yourself on the same team as the other person instead of trying to fix or fight them. Suppressing emotions doesn’t make them disappear; they tend to grow louder or explode later, so learning to listen to and process them is crucial. Simply naming what you’re feeling and using deep, intentional breathing can calm your nervous system and bring your thinking brain back online during conflict. Choosing grace, self-compassion, and curiosity, especially when others disagree or behave poorly, helps transform ordinary relationships into extraordinary ones.   "Every emotion is good because it's a message, and the point of it is to receive that message." —  Marielle Melling   About Marielle Melling: During a crazy season of life, Marielle Melling found peace by radically prioritizing deep relationships. Now she helps parents get on the same page as their kids, so they exchange closed doors and battles for closeness and cooperation, and everyone wins. Marielle uses her degree in health education, genuine care, and relatable teaching style to transform family relationships from ordinary to extraordinary. She’s the founder of Extraordinary Family Relationships and the Mom Spot Membership and the author of Peace amidst the Mayhem and The BUT Book. As a mom of five and her own best guinea pig, Marielle is committed to lifelong learning and doing life on purpose.   The Ultimate Guide to Connection: https://yourefr.com/ultimateguide/   Connect with Marielle Melling:  Website: https://yourefr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peacefulhome.info Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peacefulhome.info       CONNECT WITH CHABIDAYE:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chabidaye.ramnath.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chabidaye/Website: https://leadandlift.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chabidayejaglalramnath/  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Discover why grinding harder is sabotaging your body, your business, and your confidence, and how syncing your work with your hormonal and seasonal rhythms can unlock easier productivity, more income, and a life you actually enjoy.   In this episode, Chabidaye and Renae discuss: Burnout, hustle culture, and the wake-up call Differences between male and female hormones and productivity Menstrual cycle phases and business planning Seasons, natural rhythms, and redefining productivity Pleasure, play, and nervous system care as a business strategy   Key Takeaways: Chasing future success while sacrificing the present often backfires; aligning daily life with what truly matters now can be a powerful catalyst for change. Many popular productivity systems are built around male hormonal rhythms, which makes women feel like they’re failing when their monthly energy and focus naturally fluctuate. Understanding and tracking the menstrual cycle allows women to match high-visibility tasks with high-energy phases and build in intentional rest without guilt. Rest is not laziness but an essential part of a powerful “slingshot” effect, pulling back to regenerate so you can accelerate farther and faster with less effort. Infusing pleasure, play, and enjoyment into everyday life, work, and even mundane tasks not only supports the nervous system but also leads to more sustainable, magnetic success.   "The learning journey is the goal." —  Renae Fieck   The Self-Made Mom Digital Masterclass: https://www.theselfmademom.com/masterclass If you’re a working mother carrying the mental load, the emotional load, and everyone else’s needs but your own, Julia Sewell has created something powerful for you. Her brand-new Digital Masterclass takes the twelve core chapters of The Self-Made Mom and turns them into heartfelt, candid lessons filled with practical tools to help you recapture your power, intention, and joy. Each module is short, real, and designed for the actual pace of a mother’s life. If you’re ready to feel like yourself again, visit Julia’s Digital Masterclass and step into the support you deserve.    About Renae Fieck: Renae Fieck is a mom of 3 and a feminine leadership coach, cycle-syncing expert, and business strategist helping high-achieving women scale their businesses without burnout or overworking. After her husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor, seizures, and 3 kids under 6, she decided to build a business that allowed her to live the life of her dreams NOW, not one day in the future. To then complete burnout from the hustle. With a background in occupational therapy, somatic healing, and breathwork, she now blends science-backed productivity, feminine wealth energetics, and cyclical business strategy to help women build the life of their dreams without having to hustle so hard to make it happen.

What if the very thing keeping your business from growing is you being in it every day? Learn how to stop being the bottleneck, start thinking like a true CEO, and use systems, AI, and smart hiring to build a business that thrives beyond you. About Kristen David: Kristen David, a former trial lawyer who built and sold a million-dollar-plus firm that ran without her, now helps owners of professional service businesses implement the CEO Operating System. She transforms companies into self-managing, hyper-efficient organizations by training teams to leverage AI and strategic decision-making frameworks. This allows owners to finally step out of the day-to-day and lead a thriving, profitable business. Kristen’s #1 bestselling book, Uplevel Your Business, Uplevel Your Life, was named in Forbes as one of the Top 21 Business Books of 2021. Kristen’s no-nonsense approach and results-oriented methodology have allowed her to help more than 1,500 business owners better manage their businesses.  She also walks the walk and practices what she preaches.  In her first year in her new business, she went from $0 to $10k in month 1 to $100k in month 12 while growing an incredible team.  She runs her virtual business from around the world, living 1/3 in Seattle, WA, 1/3 in Paris, France, and 1/3 traveling all thanks to the help of SYSTEMS!    In this episode, Chabidaye and Kristen David discuss: Cost of founders being the bottleneck Documenting and building systems in real time Using AI for admin, marketing, and client delivery Prioritizing CEO responsibilities: sales, marketing, cash flow Hiring, team fit, and the CEO self-assessment   Key Takeaways: A business becomes scalable when its knowledge, decisions, and workflows are captured in systems instead of living solely in the founder’s head. You don’t need days of free time to document processes; you can “build the bike as you’re riding it” by capturing what you’re doing in real time. AI can quickly claw back hours a day by triaging email, sharpening marketing messages, and creating reassuring, automated onboarding experiences for clients. A CEO’s top priorities are sales, marketing, and reliable payment. Everything else (including much of service delivery and admin) should be delegated or automated as soon as possible. Hiring people who are aligned with your mission and hungry to learn will transform your business far more than simply filling seats with people who just want a job.    "The first thing you want to do is [ask yourself]: 'How could we either automate or get someone else trained up to do like 80% of the delivery?’" —  Kristen David   Connect with Kristen David:  Website: www.uplevelingyourbusiness.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/TheKristenDavid Facebook - Personal Page: https://www.facebook.com/The.Kristen.David Facebook - Business Page: https://www.facebook.com/UplevelingYourBusiness Instagram - Personal Page: https://www.instagram.com/thekristendavid/ Instagram - Business Page: https://www.instagram.com/uplevelingyourbusiness LinkedIn - Personal Page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristendavid     CONNECT WITH CHABIDAYE:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chabidaye.ramnath.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chabidaye/Website: https://leadandlift.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chabidayejaglalramnath/  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

You start strong, and then life happens. A crisis, a curveball, an overwhelming week that blows up everything you planned. Learn how to keep your momentum alive even when the unexpected hits. In this episode, Chabidaye discusses: Difference between schedule and structure Identifying non-negotiables and a minimum viable week Naming chaos to prevent identity spirals Designing a re-entry protocol after disruption Protecting and managing energy as a business asset   Key Takeaways: Momentum is built on structure and rhythm, not on a perfectly executed schedule, so chaos can disrupt your calendar without destroying your progress. Small, imperfect actions taken during hard weeks compound over time, while doing nothing guarantees you lose ground. When you name what’s happening and give it clear boundaries, chaos becomes a temporary event instead of a permanent judgment about who you are. Instead of repeatedly starting over from zero, a simple re-entry protocol lets you intentionally pick up where you left off after a disruption. Treating your energy like an emergency fund, protected and replenished in good times, gives you the capacity to navigate inevitable chaotic seasons.   "Energy is not the reward at the end of the productivity race. Energy is the entry fee." —  Chabidaye Jaglal RamnathFree tool: Founder's Weekly Focus Map:  One page under ten minutes, and it gives you the clarity and structure to keep moving forward, even in the weeks when everything around you is pulling you off course.

Your week gets hijacked by everyone else's priorities. Learn how to reclaim control and focus on what actually drives growth. Feeling like your week is constantly hijacked by other people’s demands, dings, and “quick questions”? This episode breaks down the neuroscience behind distraction and urgency and gives you a simple, actionable system to take your week (and your business) back. In this episode, Chabidaye discusses: Priority hijack vs. time management Urgency addiction and attentional bias Boundaries, interruptions, and cognitive switching cost Weekly architecture, decision fatigue, and Sunday planning Saying “not yet,” present bias, and the weekly close ritual   Key Takeaways: Feeling out of control is often a sign that your week is being run by other people’s agendas, not that you’re not working hard enough. Your brain is wired to treat anything urgent and noisy as important, so you must consciously define one non‑negotiable task each day and do it before the “car alarms” start. Constant interruptions carry a heavy cognitive switching cost, silently killing hours of deep, revenue‑generating work unless you intentionally build and enforce boundaries. Without a clear weekly architecture and pre-decided blocks for key activities, you spend your days in reactive mode and burn precious energy on endless micro-decisions. A simple weekly close, such as reviewing what moved you forward, what got in the way, and your top three priorities for next week, turns chaotic, repeating weeks into a compounding engine of clarity and progress.   "At the start of every single day before you open your email or your phone, write down your one non-negotiable task for that day and do that first before any of those car alarms go off." —  Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath   Free Focus Tool: Download The Founder's Weekly Focus Map.  One page.

You already know what to do, so why aren’t you doing it? Here’s how working with your brain instead of against it can help you follow through.In this episode, Chabidaye discusses: Understanding the knowing-doing gap Acting before feeling ready Reducing mental overload from open loops Focusing on real progress over busywork   Key Takeaways: The struggle to take action is not about laziness or lack of discipline. It is rooted in how your brain is wired to respond to uncertainty and pressure. When you understand this, you can stop blaming yourself and start working with your brain. That feeling of “I’m not ready” is often just your brain reacting to perceived risk. It treats visibility and uncertainty like real threats, even when they are not. Learning to move forward despite that feeling is key to making progress. Unfinished tasks quietly drain your focus and energy in the background. Writing everything down helps your brain release that tension and regain clarity. This creates space to focus on what actually matters. Not all tasks move you forward, even if they feel productive. It is easy to get stuck doing low-impact work that gives quick wins but no real results. Shifting toward actions that create real outcomes is what drives growth.   "You don’t need to do more. You need to do what matters." —  Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath   You know what matters, but you still don't do it.

Feeling exhausted before your week even starts? In Founder Fatigue: Why Your Week Starts Exhausted and How to Stop It, discover why founders burn out, how decision overload and reaction mode drain your energy, and actionable strategies to regain focus, energy, and traction. What if you could get more done without running on empty? Master your energy, not just your time, and watch your week shift.    In this episode, Chabidaye discusses: Resetting the week Reducing decision fatigue Starting the day proactively Focusing on energizing work   Key Takeaways: Unfinished tasks and mental clutter from Friday roll straight into Monday. A simple Friday reset means listing what’s left, deciding what to schedule or delegate, and picking your top three priorities, giving your mind a clean slate. Every small choice, from emails to scrolling, eats away at your focus. Planning your week, time-blocking priority work, and standardizing recurring tasks frees your energy for what matters most. Jumping straight into notifications puts you on defense. Protect the first hour for planning and tackling one high-impact task. This helps you start the day with control and momentum. Some tasks drain you while others lift you up. Identify what energizes you and reshape your schedule to spend more time on the work that matters. This keeps your energy high and your week moving forward.   "Don't carry chaos forward.

Are you busy all day but still feel stuck? Learn why effort without focus is limiting your traction, and what to do instead.In this episode, Chabidaye discuss: Distinguishing busy work from high-impact productivity Shifting from reactive firefighting to deliberate execution Clarifying top priorities to focus growth efforts Establishing systems and a weekly rhythm for consistent progress Key Takeaways: Focus on 1 to 3 high-impact tasks daily to create momentum rather than checking minor items. Sharp prioritization drives measurable progress. Protect dedicated power blocks (60–120 minutes) for uninterrupted execution. Concentrated focus yields deeper work and results. Define weekly top priorities tied to growth, product, or efficiency to avoid scattered effort. Alignment keeps activities revenue-oriented. Build a repeatable weekly rhythm and review cadence so consistency beats motivation. Routine + measurement enables continuous improvement.   "You don't get results by reacting.

You don’t have to push harder to get through midlife. Learning to restore energy, reduce stress, and work with your body can help you feel strong, clear, and resilient again. About Bria Gadd: Bria Gadd is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner, holistic health coach, and certified personal trainer who specializes in female hormones, helping women with weight release and energy gain in pre- and post menopause, and finding clarity in hormonal chaos. Her podcast, The Period Whisperer, is a top 1% wellness podcast in the world with an Instagram following of over 17,000. Bria has been featured in Fox News, Women's Health, and top women's podcasts, such as The MidLife Makeover Show, to name a few.  In this episode, Chabidaye and Bria Gadd discuss:Understanding the real difference between perimenopause and menopauseRecognizing health debt as the root issueAvoiding strategies that increase stress and backfireRebuilding health through foundational habits and informed testing Key Takeaways:Menopause is a single milestone reached one year after the final menstrual cycle. Perimenopause is the long transition leading up to that point, often beginning in the mid-30s. Most symptoms attributed to menopause are actually signs of perimenopause and hormonal transition.Health debt occurs when the body’s energy demands exceed its available energy supply. Sleep, nutrition, joy, and purpose determine whether the body thrives or enters survival mode. Many midlife symptoms stem from accumulated health debt rather than hormones alone.Eating less and exercising harder can worsen symptoms when the body is already depleted. Excess stress elevates cortisol and deepens survival responses like weight retention and fatigue. Recovery begins by restoring energy availability, not increasing pressure on the system.Consistent sleep, gentle movement, balanced meals, and stress discharge restore energy balance. When basics are solid, functional testing can reveal deeper root causes beyond standard labs. Perimenopause is a signal to lead the body with intention and build resilience for the decades ahead. "Care about your body, become that CEO, and be more in your life, and not just less on the scale." —  Bria Gadd Connect with Bria Gadd: Website: https://www.briatheperiodwhisperer.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bria_period_whisperer/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BriaThePeriodWhisperer/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@briagaddYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bria_period_whispererPodcast: https://www.briatheperiodwhisperer.com/the-period-whisperer-podcast   CONNECT WITH CHABIDAYE:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chabidaye.ramnath.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chabidaye/Website: https://leadandlift.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chabidayejaglalramnath/  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Confidence isn’t a feeling you find. It’s a trust you build, one brave action at a time.About Ernelita Dacumos: Ernelita “Ernie” Dacumos is an International Speaker, Author, Radio Show Host, Coach, Facilitator, and Trainer certified through the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team. With over a decade of experience in the healthcare industry, she fulfills her greater purpose of empowering individuals to rise into their full potential.Once a “shy introvert,” Ernie transformed into a “confident introvert” who now leads masterminds, facilitates workshops, and speaks on international stages. From stuttering in small groups to co-hosting The Leader’s Edge, an international radio show, her journey reflects the power of growth, courage, and self-trust.Known as a confidence mentor and author of Unapologetically You: How to Stop Shrinking and Discover the Power Within You, Ernie creates safe spaces for learning and equips others with tangible tools for personal and professional growth—showing that confidence and continuous development are accessible to anyone willing to take action. In this episode, Chabidaye and Ernelita discuss:Understanding shyness and introversion clearlyBuilding confidence through repeated actionReclaiming self-confidence without guiltPracticing confidence with tools, support, and intention Key Takeaways:Introversion is about how you recharge, not whether you like people. Shyness shows up as hesitation to initiate, speak, or step forward. Recognizing the difference allows shyness to be treated as a skill to strengthen, not a fixed identity.Confidence is not a personality trait but the courage to act despite fear. Self-doubt never disappears; its volume lowers when action becomes habitual. Repetition builds skill, and skill steadily turns into confidence.Self-confidence begins with trusting and prioritizing yourself first. Caring for yourself is not selfish because burnout harms everyone you serve. Filling your own cup creates the capacity to lead, support, and give sustainably.Mentors, coaches, and faith help you borrow belief until your own grows. Introverted leaders build trust by asking questions and involving others. Simple habits like acting before perfect clarity and celebrating progress reinforce confidence over time. "You cannot give what you do not have. When your cup is empty, it starts with us first. Hence it's called self-confidence, not confidence... You have to have that conviction, that belief, that trust in yourself first, in order for you to give that and relate it to others." —  Ernelita Dacumos Connect with Ernelita Dacumos: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/confidentlyyouwithernie/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/confidentlyyouwithernie/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ernelita-dacumos-confidently-you-llc-667134233/    CONNECT WITH CHABIDAYE:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chabidaye.ramnath.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chabidaye/Website: https://leadandlift.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chabidayejaglalramnath/  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

You don’t have to choose between ambition and peace. Here’s how clarity, systems, and honest self-reflection help working mothers thrive with purpose, confidence, and a lighter heart.About Julia Sewell: Julia Sewell is THE Self-Made Mom, founder and author of the transformative movement equipping working mothers to thrive at home and at work—without compromise. For over two decades, Julia has blended strategy, vulnerability, and real-life experience to empower women to build intentional, high-performing, and fulfilling lives—rooted in joy and intention—proving you don’t have to choose between your ambition and your family. In this episode, Chabidaye and Julia discuss:Reframing the struggleBuilding systems that lighten the loadLeading at home with clarityRedefining worth and asking for help Key Takeaways:Many mothers wrestle with ambition and responsibility while often feeling isolated in the tension. Real growth begins when personal crises spark self-reflection and intentional change. Support, honesty, and healthier communication transform overwhelm into momentum.Balance is a myth because life moves like a pendulum between shifting priorities. Structured systems like plans, checklists, and calendars create space for focus and flexibility. These tools reduce guilt and help mothers navigate demands without carrying everything alone.Skills from business, such as delegation, leadership, and systems thinking, belong in the home as much as the workplace. Regular family check-ins and clear expectations empower everyone. Sharing responsibilities strengthens relationships and eases the burden on mothers.A mother’s value is not tied to productivity or constant service. Intentional self-care and personal success nourish the whole family. Asking for help models strength and creates a home where support flows freely. "You can create systems and apply formulas to your life that will make it easier to execute on a daily basis.

Greatness isn’t found in striving — it unfolds when we quiet the noise, reconnect with who we truly are, and live in alignment with our values. About Dharma Shakti: Dharma Shakti, LMT, CAS, ERYT500, RYS, and Certified High Performance Coach, is the founder of The Empowered Way and Yogalution Movement, a donation-based yoga community known for making yoga accessible to all.

Many people feel disconnected because they’re repeating subconscious thoughts about not being enough, and self-reflection is the doorway back to alignment.Greatness often looks simple, not grand. It’s expressed through the natural ways you love, support, and uplift others, not through fame or recognition.Congruence is the antidote to feeling lost. Feeling stuck usually signals that your actions and values are misaligned, and realignment starts with returning to what you deeply believe.Purpose reveals itself when you show up intentionally. Small, consistent actions create clarity because purpose emerges through movement, not waiting. "You have a seed of the core of who you are, and there is something purposeful ingrained within it, but it needs the right environment." —  Dharma ShaktiConnect with Dharma Shakti: Website: https://www.yogalutionmovement.com/Dharmashakti LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dharma-shakti-08876519/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DharmaShaktiYoga/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dharmashakti/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jahdharmaSkool: https://www.skool.com/empowered-living-1433/about?ref=380f6c6e9d594e8ea70b00d725162d2c CONNECT WITH CHABIDAYE:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chabidaye.ramnath.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chabidaye/Website: https://leadandlift.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chabidayejaglalramnath/  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Growth isn’t born from comfort — it’s built through consistent intention, disciplined habits, and a mind open to change.

Intentional change begins with an honest evaluation of what truly matters.Believing that circumstances serve growth creates resilience and momentum. Mindset, modeling, and consistency form a reliable path to progress. Learning from others accelerates success when paired with disciplined action.High performance begins with treating the body as a foundation for energy. Food, rest, and routines should support long-term focus and vitality.

Flexibility doesn’t mean compromise; it can be the key to thriving at work and at home. Wendy Cocke shares how intentional strategies, clear communication, and self-trust unlock career growth without sacrificing family priorities.About Wendy Cocke: As a working mother, Wendy Cocke defines success on her own terms. Early in her career, she successfully negotiated flexible work arrangements without slowing her advancement, ultimately authoring two best-selling books: Making Flex Work and Reimagine Your Work.

Trial periods offer a safe structure for organizations to experiment. Defining success on your own terms leads to healthier, sustainable choices.Requests for flexibility land stronger when framed around time, money, and resources rather than personal needs. Positioning proposals in business terms builds credibility and alignment. This approach increases support and drives mutually beneficial outcomes.Leaders who practice transparency about their flexible schedules create environments where balance is respected. Their example helps teams feel empowered to advocate for their own needs. Healthy leadership reshapes workplace expectations for everyone.Running the household as a shared team builds responsibility, confidence, and better habits. These dynamics reflect positively in workplace collaboration and mindset. Trusting yourself—and refusing to accept a “no” from someone who can’t give a “yes”—fuels confident advocacy. "You know what is best for you, and you know what you are willing to do to make that happen.

You don’t have to drift to feel driven.

He leads the global expansion of the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team, a premier community of coaches, speakers, and trainers developed by Dr. John C. Maxwell.

Chris reminds leaders that when goals are purely self-focused, meaning fades fast, and clarity only returns when we start helping others grow.Modern leadership isn’t about having all the answers but knowing who to ask. By releasing control and empowering others to contribute solutions, leaders open space for growth, collaboration, and genuine trust within their teams.Drift shows up as comfort, busyness, or delay disguised as productivity. Chris explains that leaders lose drive when they stop acting with intention, saying “later” more than “now,” or consuming knowledge without applying it.No one thrives alone. Chris urges leaders to find mentors who model the future they want and to surround themselves with like-minded people moving in the same direction, because growth happens faster in intentional communities. "If I always hold on to what I have, I’ll never have the opportunity to get more. But if I open my hands and say, I don’t have all the answers, then I can grab more things." —  Chris Robinson Connect with Chris Robinson: Website: https://www.chrisrobinsonspeaker.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chrisrobinsonmlspeakerESpeakers: https://www.espeakers.com/marketplace/profile/25514/chris-robinson  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/speakerchrisrobinson/   CONNECT WITH CHABIDAYE:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chabidaye.ramnath.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chabidaye/Website: https://leadandlift.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chabidayejaglalramnath/  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:Understanding procrastination as an emotional issueApplying the ACT framework to move forwardFinding clarity through imperfect actionRebuilding confidence by doing one small thingKey Takeaways:Procrastination isn’t caused by laziness or lack of drive. It often stems from avoiding uncomfortable feelings tied to fear, doubt, or overwhelm.

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:The myth of managing timeEnergy management is criticalSetting boundariesIndicators of stress Key Takeaways:Stress isn't about managing time, but about emotional weight and self-imposed pressure. Remember that your worth is not tied to productivity.Humans have natural energy rhythms, unlike machines. Listen to your body's energy cycles.

Boundaries are bridges to protect your well-being, not selfish acts.Check your energy levels when feeling stressed. Identify where you're "leaking energy" in your day. Common energy drains include checking emails constantly, people pleasing, saying yes when you mean no, and feeling guilty during rest. "Time management is only surface level... what we need to focus on is below the surface, the real iceberg, which is the expectations, the self-judgment, and the pressure beneath it all." —  Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath Download the FREE ebook: The #1 Reason You’re Stressed and What to Do About It: https://www.leadandlift.com/stressInside, you’ll discover six simple, science-backed steps to regain balance, calm your mind, and boost your energy—without having to cancel your calendar.

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:Confidence growth comes from withinFactors that hold women entrepreneurs back How to build confidence The power of creating your own validation Key Takeaways:Confidence is a skill, not a fixed trait. It can be developed through action and practice, and is based on your belief in your own abilities and self-worth, not external validation.Women entrepreneurs often make the mistake of waiting for permission from others (clients, mentors, family) before taking action, which holds them back from success.Action builds confidence.

The more you do something, the more confident you become.Create your own validation through a "confidence wins journal" by documenting your achievements, risks taken, and challenges overcome. This helps train your brain to recognize your own power and capabilities. "The only validation you need is the results you create, not other people's opinion." —  Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath   CONNECT WITH CHABIDAYE:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chabidaye.ramnath.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chabidaye/Website: https://leadandlift.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chabidayejaglalramnath/  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:Prioritizing the tasks with the highest impact Categorizing your tasks through the 4D systemManage your energy, not your time Eliminating unrealistic expectations Key Takeaways:Focus on the one most impactful task each day. Identify the "needle mover" that will have the biggest domino effect on your other tasks.

This helps you reduce decision fatigue and focus your energy on the essential tasks you need to personally complete. Don't be afraid to ask for help from others to delegate certain items.Manage your energy levels, not just your time. Pay attention to when you have high energy versus low energy periods during the day.

What she loves most is helping people recognize the greatness inside them, often before they even see it in themselves.She was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia by a single mom working three jobs. She moved to the U.S. with her mom at the age of 15 speaking little English and leaving behind her family, culture and home. She not only values cultural diversity but is a proponent of diversity of thought. After spending 20 years leading high-performing teams and racking accolades, Angélica decided to bet on herself and founded Angelica Ponder Consulting Solutions, LLC in 2022.  Angélica’s coaching and consulting practice is committed to aligning people and processes through the power of learning.

True success stems from internal fulfillment rather than external validation or societal expectations.Removing the invisible "armor" of expectations allows vulnerability and redefining success on one's own terms. Shedding limiting beliefs and societal expectations can be uncomfortable initially but embracing authenticity is worth it.Work should not constitute the entirety of life; aim for harmony by being present in each moment. High achievers may sense something missing, and coaching can help uncover core values and align pursuits accordingly.Short-term strategies like gratitude journaling, breathwork, mindfulness, and hot yoga can provide peace and community. Examine your personal values, internal/external expectations, and self-imposed expectations to eliminate misalignment with the true self. "All these layers on the armor makes us think that winning is an outside game, that it's all about the validation and the successes we receive. But in reality, success is about what I've uncovered about myself internally." —  Angélica Ponder Don’t miss out! 30-Day Trial for Only $1 https://www.leadandlift.com/societyJoin the Lead and Lift Society - Where Women Empower Each Other to Thrive and Achieve More   Connect with Angélica Ponder: Website: https://www.angelicaponder.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/AngelicaPonderInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bogotana13LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelicaponder/   CONNECT WITH CHABIDAYE:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chabidaye.ramnath.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chabidaye/Website: https://leadandlift.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chabidayejaglalramnath/  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Chabidaye discussed:Relationships are the cornerstoneImpact is more important than income Choices give us freedom Harmonizing your life Key Takeaways:Relationships are the cornerstone of a truly rich lifestyle and a flourishing business. Relationships give us a sense of belonging and camaraderie. People can be a source of motivation and direction. Through relationships, we can also create a legacy that outlasts just our one life. The rich lifestyle is not just about the income, it’s about the impact that you make - the mark that you leave on the world. Don’t waste your life, find your purpose and focus on living that out. Inspire and empower others with your journey. Our choices shape our experience of life and behind every choice we make are our unconscious habits. If you want to change your life, then change your habits. You have the freedom to choose what habits you’re going to keep. Our life is made up of different areas and harmony is all about aligning all those areas to make room for everything to coexist within our one life. Establish boundaries. Be excellent at work, in your family, and with your health.  "The habits that you have is the reason you have the life that you have today." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath  CONNECT WITH CHABIDAYE:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chabidaye.ramnath.3Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chabidaye/Website: https://leadandlift.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chabidayejaglalramnath/  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
